this format

only good format from riot, no?

every match is important, every team helps each other with different scenarios

rare W i guess...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

W raise + employee of the month

ye i take back all my hate earlier this year. This format has been pretty fire

Only thing I dislike is the single elim part

NAVI, FUT and TH haven't lost to KC, FNC and TL yet one of them will be eliminated

the best teams aren't actually being send

Bro wants the riot buddy so badly

As mentioned above, remove single elim from playoffs and then this is an interesting format
Its harder to understand which is a bit of a problem, but its super interesting from a simulation standpoint

By having all teams in a group play against the exact same opponents you can implement the 2 win rule (which helps reduce the unfair group problem we always have in valo) - and is in general a more fair way to judge teams on paper (idk if it is in practice, this entire split has been wild in all 4 regions)
If only it was 12 teams not 11, but thats just gonna be a problem in any format ig (since that impacts the 2 win rule)

Its weird not having h2h matchups though ngl

I don't mind the format but the single elim on playoffs straight dogshit. The fact that TH or NAVI are out sucks
