NA challengers

What’s the format? It says Swiss but teams are playing 3 matches. Is it a higher number swiss or a straight up group stage?

It's a scuffed swiss, I think it's 7 matches

7!? At that point why not just do groups

I like Swiss much better. There’s a chance to play any team which makes it more exciting

idk, i been thinking the same thing, mickey format, group stage would be 10x better

they literally qualify 8 teams from 16

if you want to have them play 74 quattuordecillion matches at least do 2 8-team double elim brackets and promote the top 4 from each one

yeah but they could easily do a full 16 team swiss in 5 games not 7

after round 1:

8 (1-0)
8 (0-1)

after round 2:

4 (2-0)
8 (1-1)
4 (0-2)

after round 3:

2 (3-0)
6 (2-1)
6 (1-2)
2 (0-3)

after round 4:

1 (4-0) [qualified]
4 (3-1) [qualified]
6 (2-2)
4 (1-3) [eliminated]
1 (0-4) [eliminated]

after round 5

3 (3-2) [qualified]
3 (2-3) [eliminated]

5 rounds instead of 7
