this format actually sucks

Fns said it right, why does a team get a bye into playoffs cause of winning a regional? Every team should play group stage and playoffs should bet the top two of those groups, masters berlin was great in this regard we saw G2 vs Sen, G2 vd Gambit, 100 t vs Acend, 100t vs Gambit, Gambit vs VS, NV vs Gambit. Also, I think KR Apac and NA should also get on more slot and instead of these 2 matches per day, there should be 3 for the group stage and 2 for the playoffs. Riot had a really good format but ruined it idk why?

The format improved but backwards, can't wait to see what bad idea rito have for next year

i just hope they go back to the old format

last year lot of people complain about the format, asking whats the point of first seed

also 16 teams instead of 12 teams

Instead of group bye advantage, they can make a 1 round bye advantage

money and vct points to qual for champions should be enough imo

The Plan for 2021 VCT was kinda good tbh 4 16 Teams LAN a year with a proper format
I don't get why riot is not doing those
the current masters format takes 24 games and the 16 team format takes like 27 games

Riot wanted regional finals to actually matter, I guess.

but this is too much, the group b in this stage was ass in m2 berlin every group was exciting, a star team was in every group and upset happened in each group.

then they should a better format for the masters I guess, similar to a csgo major, you have advantage but not like you're too much ahead of everyone

M3 winner was just automatically qualified, nothing else
it kinda rewarded the region which had the best team before champions

I guess for the lcq teams there should be play-ins for champs while groups are for everyone, while the top team from each region gets number 1 seeds with some point advantages.

Nah the points is enough.Let say you get additional 100 points as 1st seed

What FNS said was true. DRX and NTH are champions in their respective regions. I'm having difficulties understanding why they had to fight their way out of groups when other champions got a bye into playoffs.

yeah it's very fucked up that JP and KR can't have a playoff seed (not saying they 100% deserve one) and even the situation for BR and LATAM is weird.
