What are the stakes for these Americas matches?

Im wondering what the benefit of winning is for Kru or C9 since they will still play each other in the first round of playoffs no matter what.

Seeding or just match fixing in general

Theres none

Maybe confidence boost

If C9 wins, one of these teams will have a good chance for champs. If KRU wins they are most likely both out since they would play 100T and Sen/G2.

Seeding
