masters will have 4 groups of 4 teams double elim
with a 4 team single elim bracket in the end
seeding is actually huge since only first place makes it out. my guess for seed one is top 2 NA ( sen and 100T) first EMEA and first Korea
2
seeding is huge

edtheking12 [#4]no way you put the best teams in one group. sentinels, vision s and acend should not be in the same group
seed one, meaning they all are leaders of their group
asseater4life [#6]only 4 playoffs instead of 8 is trolling hard. prob because of there is only 9 days maybe?
i mean playing 8 team single elim wouldve been totally the same amount of games if u take of the groups finals
PrTsty [#7]seed one, meaning they all are leaders of their group
ah ok my bad i misinterpreted what you said lol
PrTsty [#8]i mean playing 8 team single elim wouldve been totally the same amount of games if u take of the groups finals
Yeah just 8 more maps. Riot are stupido.
hekzy [#13]Yeah just 8 more maps. Riot are stupido.
not even, its the same amount of maps and games
Only_Facts [#14]Its impossible to be that seeding, bc if it is, literally grand final of NA doesnt matter, theres 4 teams for group, theres gonna be 1 2 3 (4) for the major regions and probably BR JP SEA and these regions gonna start at seed 3.
u cant give it to any one else besides emea or na tho. otherwise u have a seed 3 na or emea team playing against vision strikes and a other emea/na team meaning one of them will end up 9th-12th

yep, probably because only 9 days, but 8 teams would be so much better(like football) . Cut to top 4 it's too difficult
the way I see it: if you were to have two teams qualify for bracket, the four top seeded teams get a bye from the first round of bracket. single elimination so the second seed teams from groups gotta fight tooth and nail to advance.
just altogether sounds like a better structure idk. the current format just doesn't sound competitively great, regardless of whether or not riot is on a short time frame.

just a GSL into an 8 team SE wouldve done it

Idk how theyre gonna do it but i dont think they gonna do any region with more seeding bc its unfair imo.

exactly! sorry for the word vomit lmao
still learning how to TO and couldn't quite put it to words
Only_Facts [#21]Idk how theyre gonna do it but i dont think they gonna do any region with more seeding bc its unfair imo.
what??
PrTsty [#23]what??
Give some region two seed 1 its give more seeding and make their competition unfair, who wins doesnt take nothing for win in their region

Higher seed plays the lower seeded team so that no bad teams make it to playoffs.
Imagine this very likely scenario.
They seed 1 Eu team in to each group.
They seed 1 NA team in separate groups.
You now have the #1 seed in EU with a free ride to the playoffs because they will not have any EU or NA team in their group and since they had the 1 seed from one of the strongest regions they will most likely dodge Most of the other 1 seeds.
sowe_wone [#27]I'm probably wrong, but I thing seeding will be like this:
Group Stage
Group 1: EMEA1 vs JP2 - NA3 vs LATAM
Group 2: EMEA2 vs BR1 - NA2 vs KR2
Group 3: EMEA4 vs SEA1 - KR1 vs JP1
Group 4: EMEA3 vs NA1 - SEA2 vs BR2Playoffs
Group 1 Winner vs Group 2 Winner - Group 3 Winner vs Group 4 Winner
seeding isnt gonna be that accurate tho, its proably 4 seeds

You can get 4th place in this tournament by beating 3 of 16 teams hahahahahaha
raka_gg [#30]What? Why only 1st from the group advance?
i dont know man, they shoudlve done a GSL with SE 8 team imo, wouldve been the same amount of matches
PrTsty [#2]also the format sucks, why not just have a 8 team single elim. if 2 insame teams get into the same group its very unfortunate
which will prob happen. NV with acend/gambit
PrTsty [#16]not even, its the same amount of maps and games
Well, only if you want to make quarters bo3 and semis bo5. But in this case I'd suppose you make the quarters bo5 as well
hekzy [#34]Well, only if you want to make quarters bo3 and semis bo5. But in this case I'd suppose you make the quarters bo5 as well
Only grand finals are Bo5 semis are Bo3
PrTsty [#36]Only grand finals are Bo5 semis are Bo3
really? i thought all the playoffs are gonna be bo5
