Mortadelo [#2]I imagine Champs placements and LCQ placements? Ascension last? Idk I haven't checked
In pacific ascension winner is in group a and in emea the ascension winner is in group c
Liem [#6]In pacific ascension winner is in group a and in emea the ascension winner is in group c
Only possible explanation is that Vitality got the worst seeding for not playing LCQ. So Vit #11, M8 #10? But I guess not, idk then. Maybe seeing America’s bracket will help understand

sounds correct and this a new low for Rito, Vita didn't play LCQ for you know what reason.
so the should be placed as LCQ winner.
Obsidian_Echo [#11]teams are put in pools man, and then drawn randomly
""The remaining 10 teams will be sorted into pools based on 2023 performance and drawn into the remaining 10 slots""

Did they ever say how they would sort the pools?
Four pools.
Based on Champs performance, pool 1 is FNC, FUT, NAVI
Pool 2 only has two teams: TL and GX
Pool 3 is Vit (placed 6th in regular season), KOI and KC (who both got wins at LCQ)
Pool 4 is TH, BBL (went out of LCQ winless) and M8 (Asc)
Then each group has one team from each pool, randomly drawn, with group C missing a pool 2 team and having FNC in it guaranteed.
Note that this also determines the brackets, we always have pool 1 vs pool 4 and pool 2 vs pool 3.
EDIT: Looking at APAC, this is consistent as well, even with how they present the brackets (i.e. which team is in which position)
APAC has the teams listed in the following order:
Group A:
T1 (pool 1)
Bleed (pool 4)
Zeta (pool 2)
GE (pool 3)
Group B:
DRX (pool 1)
DFM (pool 4)
TS (pool 2)
Talon (pool 3)
Group C:
Gen.G (pool 3)
RRQ (pool 4)
PRX (#1 seed)
The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is why Talon isn't in pool 4. Maybe it's because they went 1-1 in LCQ while RRQ went 1-2? Still doesn't make sense to me, they placed behind them.

Nah Riot can't give a seeding they did not earn, wouldn't be fair with everyone else. What happened was terrible but you can't give away competitive advantage because of it. Last of LCQ would be appropriate imo

Yea I tried working it out but I think Riot is just hella inconsistent with how they sorted the pools
Maybe they let each region decide how to sort the pools
