EG is in playoffs while SEN and LEV have to fight to the death tomorrow?
And whoever comes up against EG in playoffs probably goes to Madrid
Wiggs [#5]EG looked good you're acting like they limped into the playoffs
They did limp into playoffs
They barely won against the easiest group
They would not have qualified to playoffs if they were in any other group
vlkwgn [#2]nrg fan coping because they'll have to play the EG superteam
NRG would destroy this team easily
Playoffs is easier for NRG now that EG qualified
Asuna_Yuuki [#10]NRG would destroy this team easily
Playoffs is easier for NRG now that EG qualified
then why complain?
doomvor [#12]then why complain?
Because I care about the competitive integrity of this tournament
EG winning this is misleading and unfair because they are not truly a top 4 team
Its not all about the best interest of my team, its about the game
thiagomds [#11]they won champions so they deserved
Bro its a completely different team
NRG are more 2023 EG than EG themselves
How do Derrek supamen apoth and nature deserve first seed after doing nothing last year?
NA_BEST_COUNTRY [#14]This guy might have the worst takes of all of my NA brethren
What is wrong with this take?
I feel like its perfectly reasonable
FireII [#17]Evil geniuses won champions, so evil geniuses should be the top seed. You’re a little slow man.
But it was a completely different team
How is it fair

To be fair eg looked better than g2 like the playoff bracket would be easier with fraud2 for sure. NRG have a decent shot at madrid but I wouldnt count eg out, any team that can come back from 0-7 and win a match 2-0 is dangerous and can probably upset anyone
Asuna_Yuuki [#19]But it was a completely different team
How is it fair
It’s the same organization. They’re PARTNER teams, it’s a league. If a team in the NBA wins the championship, but lose their star players, the organization still has the last draft pick. Plus, there’s no “core” to keep the slot of EG’s success, if that’s the other option.
feaN [#6]We underestimated them last year, I hope we learned from it.
Dont do it again, they won today even if it was 8-0 on the first map. Learn from your mistakes
no one underestimated them lmfao they went to champs as one of the favorites after demon1 started to drop 30 bomb every match

But its different because in the NBA you don’t get an advantage next season for what you did last season so your point is invalid
WHY ARE WE REWARDING TEAMS FOR WGAT THEY DID LAST YEAR WHEN EVERY SINGLE TEAM IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR
It should be a clean slate
If anything, make all of the brackets random at the start and it would be more fair
not a big fan of the format either. Never heard of a winning team getting competitive advantages off of last year...doesn't really make sense to me. It's like playing winners ball in basketball. Maybe okay in a non official pick up game environment...iunno. Also looking at APACS format this year. I don't resonate with any of it at all.
well maybe it's not the same players , but still the org itself and the coach worked hard last year winning Champs and doing good in masters so they deserve the chance they got
Sen and Lev everyone knows how good they are ,and i and you want to see them in masters but judging off their results last year, they need to fight for the spot ; it's normal even if its not fair for new players and roaster changes

An 11 team tournament needs seeding. A random draw makes no sense.

W opinion
0fcuZ [#29]Rito are setting NRG vs EG in the playoff. W script really.
Free ticket to Madrid for us I guess 🥱
Also if we face loud or sen/Lev, we still clears them
NRG is goated but don't sleep on eg ma guy
xelto1 [#30]I love NRG but ur brain-dead my guy, fucking L take
Eg are looking good , keep crying and i genuinely think they are far better than that overhyped Africa TV cup sen. Lev aren't at their full potential aswell yet and at this point two of these team don't deserve madrid
Regardless if EG are the best how does it make sense to reward them and give them first seed for what the other team achieved last year

it doesn't matter. You can't suppose they will be bad or Sentinels and Lev would build "superteams" in the off season. You have to give the seeds base on results.
Asuna_Yuuki [#8]They did limp into playoffs
They barely won against the easiest group
They would not have qualified to playoffs if they were in any other group
nrg had the sleeper group too and it was closer than it should had been

Nothing can be done. They used the same format in all the other regions. Not Riot's fault that EG chose to act like terrors and burn down their champions winning roster. And changing it up for a single region would be the opposite of competitive integrity.

You don't know that. I'm an NRG fan but stop acting like NRG played god tier teams.

Potter is gonna cook Chet 🐍 once again! WE WILL BE THERE
Asuna_Yuuki [#33]Regardless if EG are the best how does it make sense to reward them and give them first seed for what the other team achieved last year
Eg as a team now looks really solid with their set plays,strat and comps compared to sen and Lev in my opinion ( maybe I am braindead but that's just my take). They can really surprise in play offs for sure and as for whether they deserved getting the pass idk maybe they didn't but that was up to riot, regardless they are the clear winners of the group, way better than kru and g2. Sen/ Lev might get more molded after the losers bracelet match and play ins which will only help them cause as of now as I said earlier both of em wouldn't do shit . It only gets more interesting from here , ur just WAYY overestimating sen/Lev and absolutely underestimating eg, just chill bratha
Asuna_Yuuki [#33]Regardless if EG are the best how does it make sense to reward them and give them first seed for what the other team achieved last year
Oo and I do think eg can upset anyone who plays them in the play offs even NRG and loud
thiagomds [#35]it doesn't matter. You can't suppose they will be bad or Sentinels and Lev would build "superteams" in the off season. You have to give the seeds base on results.
Yeah AsunaYukki acting like there was a better option.
First, it's ideal to do the same thing for the 3 regions and both FNC and PRX deserved the spot too.
Second, would you rather have that spot given to a random Tier 1 team? There aren't any good 11 team formats for a kickoff tournament like this.
Thirdly, franchising is a system that is meant to bring stability through the orgs, not the players. So it makes total sense from Riot's point of view.
It all comes from Riot running a seeded tournament to start the year when no teams have showed how good they are compared to one another after many teams changed rosters and there was a 6 month off season... its a fucked situation to begin with. if they had to do it I think seeding based off of champs performance is alright I guess.
valcygnus [#46]Do you like, intentionally come up with the worst takes possible or is it actually genuine?
How is this a bad take

Dude had no idea what was going on.
