NIP vs LATAM | VLR.gg

I don't watch LATAM or Brazil much (I mean I watched some brazil yesterday, but not enough to grasp the region) so, with KRU down 2-0 to Leviatan, can Kru beat NIP or if KRU pull a 3-2 can this Leviatan team beat NIP? And more importantly, if that happened, is it ethical to have LOUD - ya know THE TEAM WHO GOT SECOND AT THE LAST GLOBAL EVENT, ALSO DOMINATED THEIR REGION UNLIKE ANY OTHER - to be forced into playing the group stage?

Also, I know NIP beat Leviatan last time. Just has the LATAM scene caught up more with brazil?

The winner of the latam vs Brazil spot gives their top team a bye, just for context

LEV can't win due they choke everytime when they face a brazilian team in important matches.
KRU vs NIP would be good match and is harder to predict

? I think it's pretty fair, considering KRU thrashed Brazil last year. Whichever subregion has the better teams should get the bye

same format from Masters 1? Seed 1 teams go directly to playoffs?

I think its fucked, Brazil is a much larger region which riot usually gives more favor to ahem, cough EMEA cough, ahem. Brazil should just get two slots and LATAM should be a one slot like Japan and Korea. The simple FACT that LOUD/any brazilian team that dominates their region can be forced into playoffs as a major region is just fucked.

So you say that DRX and NTH should go straight to the playoffs whereas FPX and XSET fight in the groups, k.

Japan and Korea play in groups? Brazil is literally one of the four major regions alone with APAC, EMEA, and NA? Why would DRX and NTH get a bye if they're in a minor region, like LATAM? I'm saying its wrong to not give a major region a bye spot, and make it based on a team they are clearly better than winning a series.

Bro... I thought we were over with this MINOR/MAJOR regions kind of shit. Masters 1 clearly showed us that in this game, every fucking thing can happen. There ain't minor regions, or major ones, there are good teams and bad teams. hell, you peps didn't even consider apac as a good region until like, 2 months ago?

Major region = Sends multiple teams
Minor region = Sends a single team

Minor and Major doesn't go on quality of teams, it's based on the amount of teams they send. It's fucking simple.

i personaly dont trust much in KRU, kuz always when the matches are on lan, and if they are with a little bit of pressure, they dont play well... we saw them against liquid so many times... but if they can feel comfortable, they have a lot of passion for the game and can win. Against nip is difficult because they are experienced players who grow up in lan and are psychologically strong...
