what is this shit format

is it true that teams like Bleed, DFM, MIBR, Furia, have no chance for champs because they have only won one or two games?

like wtf? leo faria what are u on bro, gimme some of that shit

all of those teams can still make it to champs they have to place top 3 in split 2 in order to do so

not possible at this point, as other teams will also gain wins added to their current standing

yeah they can make it if they 2-0 all of their games and the entire bottom half of their group goes nuclear and diffs the top half

ain’t gonna happen tho

what are you talking about??? their current standing only matter for 4th seat split 2 is a qualifier for champs not a champ point farm and whoever has the most makes it. champ ponts are a replacement for lcq and reward the team who was most consistent throughout the year. 1st seat at champs is not indicative of how many points you have.

yea but how else are they gonna qualify to playoffs,

the format has always been unbelievably dogshit dont get it twisted. in Americas League last year, you could lose every single match and still have a chance to qualify through Champions through LCQ by being the better team there (KRU did just that btw). Now its 2024 and if you end up selling your 5/6 matches in Split 1 then you're pretty much fucked for the rest of the year most likely.

I'm 99.99999% sure they threw out LCQ and revamped a bunch of stuff because shit teams were apparently supposed to stay shit teams and that KRU shouldn't have beat big boy names like SEN in the LCQ after going 0-9 in Americas. I think it was Leo himself or the format explainer talker whatever for the Riot Valorant YT channel that straight up said that teams deserved to be punished more for playing badly for the 1st half of the year.

its extremely fucking dumb and a complete failure of a system, but the majority of the people in this community wont care unless dogshit teams in Split 1 start playing like champs EG in Split 2 but still fail to qualify

i dont think playoffs will be same format cuz they play lesser games in split 2 so im assuming more playoff games so more playoffs spots im guessing

You're wrong. They can't qualify at all for playoffs in split 2. It's overall score not split score
Top 6 teams from Overall score of Stage 1 and Stage 2, regardless of groups, will advance to Playoffs
