The team which comes first is gonna face the team that comes last in the double elim something like that or is it completely random?

just by places, you get seed 1,2,3,4 after that in the second qualifier winner gets 5 then 6,7,8
normal seed bracket
1v8
4v5
2v7
3v6
so the first in this qualifier meets the first of the next in the semi finals if both win

XSET and 100T owned the qualifier seeding games last time also

And flopped (XSET went out in groups, 100T just played worse smh) in the actual qualifier for Iceland

100 Thieves and XSET both normally try, even during seeding matches. Sentinels and Envy on the other hand...

I really dont understand why teams like Sen dont try, like its money and seeding and they have a lot of prep time. I think this time they will try there is literally 5 weeks until challengers finals

Seeding matters a ton. Idky in NA teams just don't try. Like ur gonna get like the best teams in ur first game if u just give up. It's not a good mentality. Of course you shouldn't reveal strats and shit. But there is an incentive to try. So it kinda does show at least a bit of how good a team is.

Here's a hot take. GENG and ABX are for sure. And there are 4 teams that I think can get the two next Soniqs(yes I actually believe they could), C9, V1, T1.

And for EU. The two next teams. I want to say will be BDS and Fnatic or Team Finest. But this is a shit take. It'll prob just be like Liquid and Fnatic unless Heretics pulls some random shit out of their ass.

100T tries in seeding matches. it worked out for them in stage 2 they ended up against ABX which was an easy W for them back then

Seeding matters a lot more for EMEA than for NA to be honest

i think higher seeds in EMEA get a bye in challengers playoffs, not for NA

yeah my point exactly. Acend, G2, SMB(TR superteam) and Gambit got an automatic BYE for round 2 in upper brackets of EMEA tournament. In NA, however, no team is getting an automatic BYE.

i feel like seeding doesn't matter for the first set of challengers cause like u don't know who ur gonna play. in the second set of challengers it matters cause u know what teams u would be playing against,.
