If Kc loses

They don’t make playoffs

That would mean out of all Madrid teams, the only ones to make Shanghai playoffs would be; EDG, PRX, FPX, GEN.G and TH

KC, SEN and Loud would bomb out after strong starts to the year

tbh the whole VCT kickoff thing seems rushed as hell

I think it’s more likely that teams aren’t hitting ceiling anymore and therefore the competition is closer; unpredictable

SEN can still make it very much if they win their next two

Am i the only one who thinks the level of competition at kick off was actually quite good and that now teams are slumping due to the weird map pool and not having the best read on the meta (eg Loud) rather than kick off being the mickey mouse tournament? Reminds me of Tokyo last year where literally everyone at the tournament besides EG and Fnatic looked bad (NRG lost to prx with a sub and got 4th)

If you think EG and Fnatic were good teams then you have to consider PRX and NRG good too. PRX took EG to map 5 with a sub
I agree the competition was lower than champs for example since a lot of the top teams were underperforming (DRX, loud)
