The qualification for the Pokémon eSports World Championship is changing in 2025, and most players have different opinions on whether these changes are good or bad.
Dive into the HUGE changes coming to LoL Esports in 2025
Starting in 2025, only a certain number of players who finish at the top of the regional rankings will receive an invitation to the Pokémon World Championships. This is a departure from the previous method, where players had to reach a certain points threshold to be guaranteed an invitation, regardless of where they finished.
As you can imagine, many players were upset about the slot caps, as the previous system rewarded those who had the time and money to travel to multiple events throughout the year. But not everyone is upset about the announcement.
