I can’t be the only one who likes the Berlin format
most people that dont like the format has their favorite team in berlin who arent acend sen and vs, since they know their team have little to no chance of making it in the semis
Noone12 [#5]I dont mind it, is the first year of Valorant, so we might see some changes.
might? nah we WILL see some changes
I mean instead of group grand finals, if they could have taken the top 2 and have had an 8 teams single elim, that would be much better!
Fire737 [#6]5 wins in row and you only play 4/5 teams and you win Berlin
tbf, sen won against 3 teams
I guess that's where the disadvantage of having Riot organise the tournament vs third-party doing it appears. Riot can keep offering shitty tournament bracket sand get away with it, because they don't have compete with other TOs.
ArgieGR8ArgieB8ArgieM8 [#3]Whether I like it or not depends on how it is seeded tbh.
True
We need seeding transparency, to make it clear it is good or bad.
If seeding not used and random placement with no same region each group. Then it is worst format.
Terrible format. At least make every match in the 4 team playoff a bo5 if they're not doing double elim there.

not everyone watches just to see their favourite team win!

I guess that’s an alternative but it would still be single elim I like how this format only but confirms the best teams will qual from each group

yeah but in most groups, the upper finals and grand finals would be b/w same teams, if we could have skipped the grand finals, we could have had more different matchups.

it is a b05 in for the final 4 teams

True hadn’t given that much thought but I’m personally don’t like the idea of the alternative of single elim 8 team bracket

Liquipedia says only Grand Finals is BO5
