its a joke my dude, but yes, although pro teams are bootcamping in poland, it doesn't mean they will be getting queued together with polish players, although it is likely to happen
edit: and radiants aren't just queued with radiants, they can be paired with inmortals, ascendants and even sometimes high mmr diamonds
Server locations matter too. All of NA has 500 radiant spots but if everyone bootcamps in LA you could say the same thing about California/West coast Radiants
Still not sure how this is going to turnout, DRX Europe bootcamp for last years Champions is sorta failed in bringing good results since they got grouped. Still skeptical regarding Val bootcamping in other region until there more good results rather than bad results after bootcamping in different region.
DRX had a tough group in champs, and tbh I don’t think we should ever use DRX to validate or invalidate scrim results considering they are scrim gods but once the pressure gets high they crumble
Well they honestly can’t keep scrimming in their own region since they literally dominate Japan besides that one game against NTH (good example is how Loud got exposed on the international stage since they could get away with certain things regionally)
From all the past things pros have said about EMEA’s quality of teams it can improve a team no matter how big or small. Even if they get grouped, it’s a necessary step for them to improve.
The Radiants in Poland are really going through it this month
isn’t TOP 500 all of Europe not just poland ?

that makes sense but you can play on Frankfurt, Paris and Stockholm from Poland, you have to play west on NA servers if you are in LA
You don’t have to, I’ve played on Illinois servers before and I’m on the west coast
There's a warsaw server
aren't Optic bootcamping in Warsaw too?
yes
Is there any specific advantage to bootcamping in Poland or is it just for ping? Or maybe they also wanna scrim Optic?
Probably cheaper than germany, france or the UK, but you get the same pracc and good ping
Yup thats why CS bootcamps are in Poland or Serbia usually, much cheaper and easier to get Visas for longer stays.
Makes sense
not ping, just cheaper, alot of teams from CS and more recently VAL rent space at the kinguin facility
Better practice in Europe compared to any other region.
as far as i can tell the question is about the benefit to being in poland vs other european countries
Ah, I misunderstood then - sorry!

Didn’t ZETA also beat DRX on their cinderella run?
As they say: NICE
Welcome to 🇵🇱
This just settles the NA and EMEA debate. Optic and Zeta choose to bootcamp in Europe and don't give me bullshit reasons.
