What has been the reaction of the scene?
On the part of the European scene, the reaction has been quite good because it was a qualifying queue that they had been asking for for many seasons because it fosters competitiveness.

However, both players and coaching staff have complained about the schedule since many of the teams’ scrim blocks end at 20:00. In other words, in order to compete in the EMEA Champions Queue, many players would have to stay up late or change their routines to be able to participate.
The initiative is a bomb is something that IS NEEDED to evolve as a region.But if we look from the clubs that the players have and can reconcile personal life, work in a competitive environment and the tool to be even more competitive is from 10 to 2am… https://t.co/ffzgryXA4K

Similarly, some have complained that there is no prize pool like there is in the NA Champions Queue where there is $400,000 up for grabs.
im rly happy about champsq coming to EU but imo it only being open at 22:00-02:00 is way too late and seeing there be 0 prizepool compared to NA 400k is a bit weird aswell https://t.co/YfcOIwRtzh
