 Hey I only saw this now, but I think it's still reasonable to comment.

In short, I agree with the conclusion of your article - Newbee absolutely don't deserve an invite - just not some of the intermediate steps.

Winrate is, on it's own, not a good indicator of performance. If Newbee had a 40% winrate against just Vici, iG and LGD with a large sample- then they would legitimately be one of the top teams in the world and worthy of an invite. It matters *who* you're winning and losing to as much as it does how much you're winning or losing by.

KDA can be also be misleading. Sure - the very top teams generally have a very high KDA because they have so few deaths, but around the middle it's heavily dependent on who you play against; and what style of game you play. At The Summit 3 for example, a lot of the games are finishing *very* early - this creates highly polarised KDA's compared to longer games that we've seen in 6.84. Also, even if all teams are playing a similar style: to have a lower KDA when playing constantly against the top teams is still impressive.
