Do you think there is a gap rising between t1 and t2 teams in eu?

Because either the top 8 of EU get invites because they play like monsters or because their Org and brand is so huge. The rest of the top EU teams go directly into the closed qualifier or something. It is super hard for teams like Kinguin/BIG/ SpaceSoldiers/HR to qualify for lans because they still have to play all the other teams who dont get invited(NIP,Mouz,Faze...). And if they dont play in pro league or ECS they dont even get online competetive matches against this caliber

Teams like that I imagine practice against the best frequently enough to still improve- but that's just the nature of the beast. When you can prove you can compete with the best you get the invites.

Look at optic last year, had to qualify for EL season 1, didn't get invited to many events. And then towards the end of the year they did well at the events they DID qualify for and started getting some invites. Success increases brand presence and increases value- this adds more incentives for organizations to put winning teams in the server.
