Subreezy [#7]why reroll something they hand crafted?
tbf Fnatic and TL were going to be on the other side of the bracket from the start - they announced it in the format
queueK [#9]tbf Fnatic and TL were going to be on the other side of the bracket from the start - they announced it in the format
that's just not correct, that was stated nowhere
KaiserXV [#8]Eg got 1st seed in there group just to play their bracket demons wtf
how the fuck they got 1st seed yet play a 1st seed of americas who tf came up with this shit???
Stratos [#15]They could have just put PRX vs EG & LOUD vs DRX but we got regional matchups instead 😑
but it's "random"!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted a better draw because again and again we are seeing PRX vs DRX. NRG vs Fnc will go hard no doubt cause this has been a long time coming for this match to happen. EG vs Loud also is a regional match. TL vs EDG should be interesting cause Sayf vs Kang Kang should be awesome. But I just feel regional matches here too in the first draw just ain't it man
koromast [#19]how the fuck they got 1st seed yet play a 1st seed of americas who tf came up with this shit???

Remember Masters Berlin 2021

this draft can be happen and you guys always crying about it
dapada [#25]there is no seeding in this group stage fyi
I agree, if there was seeding this would be the bracket:
LQD vs EDG (would be Seed 1 vs Seed 8)
PRX vs DRX (would be Seed 2/3 vs Seed 7)
Loud vs EG (would be Seed 2/3 vs Seed 6)
Fnatic vs NRG (would be Seed 4 vs Seed 5)
yoboikingkong [#26]bro forgot what happened at champs and Copenhagen last year? what happened at lock in?
we literally got fucked up brackets for 3 tournaments in a row. use your fucking brain, you donut
the fuck you mean?
iceland and copenhagen: NA vs NA first round

lock//in: NRG, LOUD, EG, and C9 on the same side of the bracket and NRG vs LOUD met in top 8
Tokyo: LOUD vs EG first round

EMEA have played against each other 1 time in the first round
Lock//In was set up to spread out all regions and was before teams were prepped we had no idea how good teams would be? That take is cold asf
Use your brain YOU FUCKING DONUT

you're a fucking idiot. iceland, copenhagen, and champs NA had 2 teams and every time they were on the same side of the bracket, meanwhile EMEA had THREE TEAMS. no fucking shit it's more likely for emea to face emea round 1 (and it didnt even happen in iceland).
for lock//in, the SAME thing happened to Americas.
statistically speaking, NA has gotten fucked up WAY more than EMEA. NA vs NA has had more match ups than anything. you're a fucking idiot and i hope you log out of your account permanently
EyeZick [#34]theres no way to differentiate between 7/8 and 5/6 so idk what ur wafflin about
Yeah, no way to do it.
5/6: NA seed 2 vs NA seed 3
7/8: Pacific Seed 2 vs China Lower Seed

own that fraud
Subreezy [#12]that's just not correct, that was stated nowhere
Riot has already established precedent that teams from the same region that went directly into playoffs get placed on opposite brackets. There's also precedent that teams from the same groups go on opposite sides of the bracket, it just sucks that the random draw put apac teams together and americas teams together. I almost wish they just handpicked the most interesting matchups instead but competitive integrity and whatnot
chick [#10]Literally just switch drx And Eg PLEASE
IDC
if they could make this change, it'd be the best bracket possible

one example is champs 2021. See 0:40 where they talk about teams from same regions is a restriction for groups. idr if they did a playoffs draw show too, but I believe every single international lan except reykjavic 1 has had teams in playoffs from different regions on opposite brackets. You can check the tournament brackets yourself and let me know if that's not the case, i'm doing this all off memory basically.

another example here is from masters Berlin where they did the playoffs bracket draw show & teams form the same group wre restricted from meeting each other early on in the bracket.
I haven't noticed them stray from these ideas since these draw shows even though the draws are now private, we can still see the results are usually consistent with the pattern above.
