Both teams would qualify to tokyo and go straight to the playoffs, so what is in it for 1st place?
Trapyy_ [#9]Seeding + prize money + trophy + bragging rights

It's just for seedings and going directly into playoffs in Tokyo.
ShuraGam [#19]Everyone who reaches finals is already qualified tho

They aren’t qualified
Top 3 teams in Tokyo qualify for Masters
DrudaL [#7]circuit points, money, trophy?
Money and trophy yes. There are no circuit points. Top 4 are locked for tokyo and top 3 at tokyo go to champs.
I'll explain to you
In playoffs, riot puts the #1 EMEA and #1 Americas team as higher seeds than #2 EMEA and #1 PACIFIC within the playoffs.
This means that the #1 emea and #1 americas will play the 2nd seeds from the group stage (ezier teams) and the #2 emea and #1 Pacific will play the 1st seeds from the group stage (harder teams).
