Curse of the top seeds

So far this stage, only 1 of the 4 teams that got byes have won their first games. PRX lost to GEN, TH lost to VIT, and FUT lost to FNC. Only DRX was able to win, against TLN.

In stage 1 playoffs, EVERY TEAM (except China) lost. FUT got a bye (lost to TH), KC got a bye (lost to FNC), LEV got a bye (lost to 100T), KRU got a bye (lost to G2), GEN got a bye (lost to T1), DRX got a bye (lost to PRX)

This season, top seeds are 1-9 in their first match of playoffs.

no wonder why GEN.G were tanking in the regular season

AND NOW DOWN GOES FPX to TRACE. .. bro what is this format

Same with FPX right now

TH never won against VIT 💀

so if pattern holds, KRU (who btw are very streaky) will beat LEV and 100T will beat G2 (and 100T owns them so im actually just confident on that one)

MEANING . . LEV vs G2 lowers and LEV get to essentially choose who goes to champs, SEN or G2. if LEV lose, it will be KRU, 100T, G2, LEV. If LEV win, KRU, 100T, LEV, SEN. Obviously need KRU to actually honor the curse and their streakiness
