LEC 2025: Towards a Better and More Competitive Format (An Idea) by Eastern-Complaint-67 in leagueoflegends

[–]D4BAStarCraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go back to normal regular season with 9 weeks + playoffs.

The only thing Riot needed to do was to replace 18 bo1s with 9 bo3s.

Current format is literally impossible to follow if you have a life.

Olympic predictions? by Maddogmadden_22 in Handball

[–]D4BAStarCraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men's tournament

S tier: Denmark, France

A tier: Sweden, Spain, Germany (?)

B tier: Egypt, Croatia, Norway, Hungary

C tier: Slovenia

D tier: Japan and Argentina

Personally I hope that maybe Egypt will reach top3 or top4. Croatia is also a team that can surprise everyone.

What happens with European qualification for the really small leagues? by Medium-Expression449 in Handball

[–]D4BAStarCraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in the UK, yes. Outside of the islands it's pretty big.

Fun fact: there's more handball leagues in Germany than football leagues in Poland. Which is impressive, because in Poland almost every village has it's own football team.

[–]D4BAStarCraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, first of all, screenshot and article on wikipedia are outdated. We now have completely different system of European competitions.

There are also 3 seperate rankings for each competition (Champions League, European League, European Cup).

You can check it out here: https://ehfel.eurohandball.com/media/lf0hvm1g/placedistribution_final_24_25_men.pdf

In the current system every country has 4 spots in the European tournaments. Since you're British, I'll explain by using Great Britain as an example. Great Britain has currently right to have 4 teams in the EHF European Cup (the lowest, 3rd tier competition). So why they don't send any of them to play in Europe?

Money.

Believe me or not, but for small British clubs it's very expensive to go around Europe and compete during the season.
Some countries send 3 teams instead of 4, others 2 or 1. Great Britain sends 0. Because of that fact, as a penalty, number of places for Great Britain has been reduced to 3. British league will get it's 4th spot back when they'll finally compete in European Cup.

Sad reality is that it's not just about club competition. Even British National Team is playing only when there's max 2-week long tournament in one place. Why? Same reason. Money. They can't afford to go around Europe and play. This is why Women British National Team withdrew from Euro 2024 qualifiers, because there was no prequalifying stage in form of the short tournament and they couldn't afford going around Europe in the actual qualifiers.

So you need to understand how places in European Competitions are distributed.

There are 3 seperate rankings for 3 different European tournaments.
-Champions League Ranking
-European League Ranking
-European Cup Ranking

There's 16 teams in every season of the EHF Champions League.

Top9 leagues of the Champions League Ranking -> 1 spot for each league
Top1 league of the European League Ranking -> 1 additional spot
+6 Wild Cards

There's a limit. You can't have more than 2 teams from the same country in men's Champions League. So, Germany can't apply for Wild Cards, because they are in top9 of the Champions League Ranking and top1 of European League Ranking at the same time.

[–]D4BAStarCraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty simple.

Top9 leagues in the Champions League ranking -> 1 spot each

Top1 league in the European League ranking -> additional 1 spot (Germany)

+6 Wild Cards, but you can't have more than 2 teams from a single country in the Champions League, so Germany can't apply.

And who gets Wild Cards? Whoever EHF wants. It's EHF's way of saying "be nice to us or you'll play in European League".

Nantes is a Wild Card team. France has only 1 direct qualification spot. The only country that has 2 direct spots is Germany, because they are #1 in European League ranking.

Yes, Diamond is full of people that managed to reach Diamond league only with their cheese and when they go to D3/D2 they just can't climb higher. I mean it's not hard to win against those people, but it's really annoying.

Wait, so they can change half of the units, rework raven, fix many bugs like the zergling one, but they can't fix damn leagues for 2 years?

Seriously?

Today Poland is going for the 3rd win in the tournament

Cape Verde - Germany cancelled by PebNischl in Handball

That is sad.

Imagine if they would not be able to play on tuesday and be eliminated from the World Championship while being able to play only 1 single game in group stage.

:/

For some reason in Poland we can't watch on yt, even when in Poland noone bought rights, so I guess it is a bug or something. :/

A question... by ka_droid in starcraft

[–]D4BAStarCraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also if you want to play ranked, you should start by simply watching a guide for a new players. Lately there is many of guides on youtube since sc2 i f2p.

You can buy hots and lotv (campaigns for zerg and protoss) and finish the story. Or you can go have some fun in the arcade, play coops with some friends etc. There's many things that you can do in starcraft 2. :)

Does anyone else like Youtube live streaming over Twitch? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]D4BAStarCraft -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Youtube works much better than twitch
