Evil Geniuses Rumored Roster and Concerns
The video discusses the rumored roster for Evil Geniuses, including players like joro, apoth, nature, Superman, and Derek. While some players have tweeted contract signing graphics, there are concerns about the team’s future if EG is no longer in the league. The video suggests that Riot may need to make a decision soon regarding EG’s partnership, as it could potentially affect the players who have already signed contracts. There is also speculation about EG’s profitability and whether they will pull out of the VCT or be kicked out by Riot.
Season Format and Number of Matches
The video addresses the community’s desire for a longer season with more matches, especially after a long offseason with no action. However, it is revealed that the number of matches will not increase significantly, with only 10 regular season matches across stage one and two. This decision has sparked mixed reactions and disappointment among fans, as other sports leagues play a much higher number of games. The video questions the reasoning behind this and suggests that more games would benefit both the fans and the teams themselves.
Kickoff Tournament Format and Seedings
The video explains the format of the upcoming kickoff tournament, which will determine the two teams that qualify for Masters Madrid. The tournament includes two groups, with the number one seed in each group advancing directly to the playoffs. The number two seeds then compete in a play-in to determine who will face the number one seeds. The video also speculates on the potential seedings, with Evil Geniuses likely being the number one seed if they remain in the league. The bracket and potential matchups are analyzed, sparking further discussion and anticipation among fans.
