Rito didnt show it all in one bracket for some reason but four seed starts in lowers

i guess it's like typical double elimination, except first seed automatically wins their matchup against fourth seed

It’s better because more teams have a chance of making it to Toronto while the better teams still get rewarded

thats the point, #4 seeds from each group is designed like that to start in lowers,

it gives teams who barely made playoffs a chance to make a run, but riot doesnt want it to heavily favor them

Simply don't be 4th place bum
