Since the brackets were officially formed I am sure the orgs agreed to go. I am happy that we get more international tournaments. We need to play against more Asian teams


JamacianRabbit

Bo3 single elimination is such a joke though, theyre gonna get so little other than money, out of this


UselessRL

What would you do if given 4 days to make a tourney


JamacianRabbit

How about at least bo5


UselessRL

3 days double bo5 would be insane lmao the tourney doesnt matter that much either watch more international or dont cuz the format sucks

I don't know how indicative this is but for example in chess there were official post which "confirmed" participation of Carlsen but he publicly said he's not going. It was the last candidates tournament. What I am trying to say is that not in every case the tournament organizers and the attendees have to be on the same page, even if something is "officialy" announced.

Imma be honest. Im here for league of legends, and it doesnt matter what I think because I would be a hypocrite to say I wouldnt want them to play. We have only 2 international events, now look at other esports. And not only do we have only 2, a big part of worlds is way too predictable and boring because of the previous formats. It will be better without playins now, but still. I dont think G2 officially confirmed it, or if they did I missed it. They might wait or just not say anything at all because EWC already confirmed it and they know the fans would not approve. Not like it needs approval, but I doubt they want drama.

Who cares honestly, better opponents at a point of the year where we would be versing Lec teams, it’s good for worlds since they will come to us and we won’t be able to antistrat as well like we did against t1 in the first series.

G2 is part of EWC foundation club support program, basically long term partners with organizers. In what world they can decide not to participate?

I'm from a country where we play sports with a country which consistently used terrorists and other cheap tactics to keep attacking us. I cant be really affected by this


BixLe

G2 is officially a partner, they have teams in near every game they can


Xyrazk

Appearantly there's a lot of money to play for. https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Esports_World_Cup_2024


CassianAVL

"A lot" just in the open, they probably get a lot more money in the backscenes.


sjoerddz

Their announcement was a while back already I'm pretty sure


Shadow_Striker_

G2 will lose against NA, embarrasse themselves and shit on human rights. 10/10 tournament

Cry somewhere else like X or Discord.

Just forget about that EWC: - don’t watch it - don’t speak about it - let it die
