I dont understand why leviathan gets to skip groups but not loud even though loud came 2nd in last masters
It's because KRU won LQC, making 2 Latam teams get a spot in masters, so it's only fair one of them, the 1st seed, get's a direct spot in playoffs considering how the format works. Some may say that there should be a LOUD vs LEV match to decide who gets said spot because BR and LATAM are basically one region, but i disagree. I think the LATAM LQC format is good to give a better opportunity for the region that comes out on top.
