What is this Format?

Why are 3 EMEA teams playing on the same side of the bracket with FNC and FPX playing first?
Then on the other side of the bracket, OPTC and XSET play each other first????

why couldn't they have easily switched it for FPX or FNC to play OPTC or XSET

Riot can't care less

Keeping the snoozefest games in one bracket (the EMEA one)

So we can get good games in the good bracket (The NA one)

Dont worry, you will get to see an NA team stomp SHITMEA in lowers

They say it randomly picked but still is fucked

ig its to prevent na vs na or emea vs emea games towards the end of the tournament

it's so optic dont have to play any emea teams leading up to the upper finals

well not really because if the teams do well enough they will have to play at the end anyway and if they switch like how i said they would just end up playing in upper semifinals or upper final which i dont mind them playing on the second game just not the first game they have to play.

Riot does this for LOL as well, it's stupid
