I will never understand why they didn't just do a Swiss stage with the number 1 seed getting a first round bye with bo1s until decider matches (for both qualification and elimination games) where they switch to bo3. just remove play in stage entirely and just replace groups with Swiss so instead of having a randomly seeded stacked group like group B in NA. Any team in group B sweeps all group C teams, it's just sad especially since this is the only way to qualify for the first masters event
