So they pool all 3 EMEA teams on the same side of the bracket and NA teams on the other ?!?
OPTIC will again make the Upper finals without beating a single EU team and people will again rate them high asf
3

edit: reply fail to #2
Mapusaurus [#7]it is due to teams messing up, if na2 won their group then they would be on the other side, same for eu2 this is the same issue as Reykjavik
A random draw has taken place and this is how #VALORANTMasters Playoffs bracket will look.

zavfswfsefse [#2]What are you talking about did they release playoff matches ?

Kindler [#3]Lower bracket exists
whoever is better will win
but if Optic still makes it 3rd and people start rating them over the EU 3rd seed in Champions , ill lose my shit
These guys havent ever beaten an EU team andd people call them the best in the world ?!? just bcause they beat LOUD ?
Fr1tZ [#12]i think its just optic messing up the bracket bcs of their loss to guild

THEY BEEN DOING RANDOM DRAWS FOR THE PAST ONE YEAR , WHY DOES IT HAPPEN EVERYTIME LOL
SleepyBear [#9]imagine get 3 slot but still crying about team pool of the bracket
Bro cmon
I dont want to see
NA vs NA , EU vs EU and Asia vs asia on international stage
SleepyBear [#9]imagine get 3 slot but still crying about team pool of the bracket
yeah cuz the 3 slots were deserved what are u on about lmao
remember the last time EMEA sent 4 teams ??
All top 3 teams were EMEA .
I guess Riot just sees NA and EMEA #2 seeds as strong or even stronger than KR #1 or BR #1 so they kind of expected OpTic to top their group and FPX top their group most likely and well EMEA has 3 so its likely something like this was going to happen. But both OpTic and FPX are now fighting for 2nd seed in their groups.
Cyphics [#5]lmaoooooo what happened to being "international" the right side of the bracket is just EMEA challengers all over again 🤦♂️
And riot is wondering why the viewership is dying.
What the fuck is this bullshit "international" masters? Groups were divided to asia and western world. Playoffs are divided to NA and EU. So cringe.
Mrityunjay [#8]A random draw has taken place and this is how #VALORANTMasters Playoffs bracket will look.
random draw my ass
there is obviously a format here
they want to avoid same group being on same side of the bracket, same with na1 and eu1
they also want the winners of the groups not face to face na1 or eu1 in the first match to reward winning the group
this means b2 and a1 aswell as a1 and b2 being pairs on each side of the bracket
they want to put a1 on the same side as eu1 as it contains na2 who are expected to win the group for the same reason b1 is bracketed near na
the only thing random is the placement of sea1 and sa1
the bracket will look like this
eu1 vs (group containing eu2) seed2
sea/sa1 vs (group containing na2) seed1
na1 vs (group containing na2) seed2
sea/sa1 vs (group containing na2) seed1
so it is random but the only aspect is a flip of a coin to determine prx and lev placement

see my comment
egg80085 [#19]same thing that happened in berlin, sen, 100t and envy were all in the side side of the bracket
also who even knows, it might even be nth who quals instead of fpx

the bracket is randomized ur giving riot too much credit

not completely random tho, NA and EU play against 2nd seed, APAC and BR/LATAM play against 1st seed. this is what they did in m1. and also team from the same group not in the same bracket. if optic won from upper bracket, they will play prx/lev not xset
hekzy [#18]And riot is wondering why the viewership is dying.

true they need to bring swiss format
Why is everyone always so upset, do they not follow other sports in knockout tourneys? Do we want cute nation matchups or just the best against the best. If you don't want a NA vs NA top 8 matchup, then OpTic shouldn't have messed up their group stage and get first seed (if they even win against KRU)
Mrityunjay [#16]yeah cuz the 3 slots were deserved what are u on about lmao
remember the last time EMEA sent 4 teams ??
All top 3 teams were EMEA .
you are greedy. you truly are. you have the 3 teams and 15 players and u want riot to do split them so u get more chance lmao. and what so special about send 4 team and all top 3 were EMEA the fuck ? not remember reykjavik ?
Cyphics [#24]the bracket is randomized ur giving riot too much credit
Is it though? Isnt it just following last Masters' system
SleepyBear [#32]you are greedy. you truly are. you have the 3 teams and 15 players and u want riot to do split them so u get more chance lmao. and what so special about send 4 team and all top 3 were EMEA the fuck ? not remember reykjavik ?

It still has a random factor to it, this is why Swiss format works best. if they don’t switch to Swiss in champs, all hope is lost for riot competency.

HAHAHA. If FPX makes it, all three of the EMEA teams are gonna fall to PRX before they even get to play a NA team
