EMEA point distribution

https://twitter.com/LiquipediaVAL/status/1387138345214509058 How does this make any sense ,second gets 60 pts and go to iceland while first only go to iceland

Wrong way around (I hope)

It's the same for every region.... I guess they made it so the prize pool difference cancels out the the points distribution (which it doesn't)but we will see if riot release a statement

I believe they also get points based on final standings in Iceland, and there must be a typo as well.

1. It's not the same for NA and BR, in those regions top-2 teams advance to Iceland without receiving any points directly from Challengers Finals, they will earn them later on Masters 2 itself.

2. Nobody gives a shit about prize pool when there is Champions slot on the line. 60 extra points + 150-400 points from Iceland (most likely 300-400, cuz EU is way stronger than other regions) is everything you need in order to qualify for the biggest tournament of the year. Of course there will be Masters 3, but people say it's going feature more slots for EMEA, so it will be easier for EU teams to qualify than it is right now.

Let's prepare to watch a shitshow final on Sunday as both teams desperately try to lose, or one of them gonna forfeit straight away. Riot fucking EMEA again, stupid single elimination brackets, only 2 slots for 3 enormous regions, no streams for open qualifiers, now this...

Yes they do get points in Iceland but the second-place team gets extra points so if both teams would finish in the same place in Iceland the team that lost the final would have an advantage for qualifying to champions

i hope this is a typo cause this doesn't make any sense

i dont think second place gets anypoints... must be a error....otherwise its better to lose finals than win

it must be an error by who ever designs this shit and liquipedia just shared what they recieved... it will most probably be fixed later on

Update:
🔴EMEA Playoff Circuit Points has been updated!🔴

First & Second will NOT be receiving points from the Challenger playoffs, the minimum points you can get from attending Iceland is 150, so both teams will be getting at least 150 even if they bomb out of Masters.

This gotta be a design error, it makes no sense. But at this point... who knows...

At iceland, the minimum points is 150 already securing more than the 60 for finishing last.

Right, but the second team is ALSO going to iceland. So there is no advantage.

Higher seeding so you play the second placed team from another region ig?
