Latest news according to an esports news website and riot games, the Vietnamese teams cannot return home if they leave due to coronavirus. Hence the VCS teams will not be attending Worlds 2020. That's honestly so sad , so instead of a 24 team Worlds, it will be 22 teams as confirmed by Riot. Some of the changes are that LCK 3rd seed will not play in play-ins due to format change for playing. Playins is now 2 groups of 5 teams each and single round-robin. The winners of both the groups will qualify for Worlds 2020 main groups and bottom two are eliminated. Then in gauntlet format, the 3rd and 4th team of the same group fight each other in a best of 5, the winner moves on to the next round to face the team that finished second, winners of that will qualify for worlds groups. Since there will be 11 teams they decided to make LCK third seed move on to groups due to past performances. Anyway, I think LCK deserves 4 seeds, T1 look likely to miss out on worlds and many are worried for faker. At one point of time they had many routes to qualify as elucidated by an [URL=https://www.theesportsindia.in/]Indian esports news[/URL] article that had all the scenarios factored, but now only winning the regional finals will secure the third spot. Who do you think will make it out from LCK, and what do you think about the new format?
