FPX only needs to win against liquid/G2 to qualify, possibly stealing a spot from guild/Fnatic or M3C without even having to compete against them for it.
This format is so broken

JustEnjoying [#4]wut? they would still have to go through the upper final, no?
edit: nevermind, there are 3 slots, I thought there were 2 😱😱
There are three spots

Teams in upper final qualify
YalohA [#3]true, I haven't thought about it. but they still beat Gambit tho
And lost to LDN, group matches from a month ago shouldn’t decide who goes to Iceland, only who qualifies for playoffs
Olofboost [#7]Group B is overrated, M3C and FPX are the best teams in EMEA
Also G2 is better than Guild and their recent head-to-head proves it
ok

LDN better than FPX then because of head to head? That’s not how it works
valulrantefanboy [#2]thats the prize for being 1st :))
Any format that allows you to qualify to Iceland by only beating one of the worse teams in the competition is unfair

no

They have played for weeks with 5 games now, you can't say only 1 , and they dont fight for 1st for no reason

There in this position because they beat gambit?
valulrantefanboy [#15]They have played for weeks with 5 games now, you can't say only 1 , and they dont fight for 1st for no reason
6 games to qualify for playoffs
Playoffs are a completely different thing because you’re putting teams that haven’t met before to compete
Tomstar124 [#16]There in this position because they beat gambit?
Yeah, even though gambit got almost +60 in round differential while FPX only 20
lorenzopajaroFC [#18]Yeah, even though gambit got almost +60 in round differential while FPX only 20
Wins a win. In 6 months time I will remember Fpx topped the group and beat gambit not that gambit farmed BiG and LDN

Why the hell would you be thinking about this six months from now? Besides, what you’ll remember is not the point at all

I was just saying people remember who wins not the individual map scores. Winning is what matters not round diff

"One of the worse" fucking BBL is better than all bronzil
Adri07_ [#23]"One of the worse" fucking BBL is better than all bronzil
Lol G2 fans, get me every time, didn’t even mention other regions bro chill
Tomstar124 [#22]I was just saying people remember who wins not the individual map scores. Winning is what matters not round diff
And that’s the issue I have with it, it’s unfair that FPX gets to qualify without even having to compete with other teams that might not qualify because they didn’t get that chance
lorenzopajaroFC [#27]And that’s the issue I have with it, it’s unfair that FPX gets to qualify without even having to compete with other teams that might not qualify because they didn’t get that chance
I don’t understand how you can have an issue with league play? The team that topped the group should gain an advantage Fpx topped the group because they beat a top 3 team in the world and now have benefitted from that. Anyway they still need to beat G2 or liquid and if they do that no one can question if they deserve it or not
lorenzopajaroFC [#17]6 games to qualify for playoffs

Maybe you dont know sports very well and how they work but thats exactly why seeding is so important. If you fight and win good seeding these are the ways that you are rewarded. You are boiling it down to winning 1 game but its not that simple. They had to win a ton of games just to be invited to groups. Then they had to win a bunch of hard groups games to get 1st seed. NOW They only need to win 1 MORE game to seal the deal. And if they win that game they will have earned it. Its that simple. You are giving a 1 head take tbh
lorenzopajaroFC [#10]And lost to LDN, group matches from a month ago shouldn’t decide who goes to Iceland, only who qualifies for playoffs
Lost to LDN without their IGL
lorenzopajaroFC [#32]They’re not getting him back mate
Still, they won against Gambit fair and Square with their whole team, and wheter they qualify or not they deserve it
OzyMeister [#37]ohh but m3c round advantage is much more right?
when there is a 2 teams tie, the tiebraker is the match between them result
nikoko07 [#34]They went 4-1 in the groups stage, they deserved the first place. All the teams knew the format before the tournament starts. Everyone knew if they make a good group stage they could secure a spot easily. This is how meritocracy works dude wtf
Hmm? What? FPX did not go 5-0
juno_VLR [#38]whatever team u support has a 3/6 chance to make masters
any NA team we support has a 2/8 chance to make masters
don't complain about "fairness"
true na should only have 1 spot, give your second spot to korea
juno_VLR [#38]whatever team u support has a 3/6 chance to make masters
any NA team we support has a 2/8 chance to make masters
don't complain about "fairness"
??????
I’m from Brazil mate, there’s literally a flag by my name
And how did you make NA be a victim of injustice in this situation

tend to benefit by playing a worse opponent not playing less opponents
nikoko07 [#42]4-1* mb
I’m not saying riot just imposed this out of nowhere, and I know nothing’s gonna change if I complain
I’m just stating my opinion that this format is unfair and much more less entertaining cause not every team is gonna go against eachother and it risks the actual third best team not qualifying
lorenzopajaroFC [#28]And when has copying Brazil ever been a good idea?
but brazil only have one slots to masters, the problem is that is the same style for such a discrepancy of slots
juno_VLR [#38]whatever team u support has a 3/6 chance to make masters
any NA team we support has a 2/8 chance to make masters
don't complain about "fairness"
Ask NA teams to be better so they get more slots lol. Also where did NA even come from here wtf
miniature [#44]tend to benefit by playing a worse opponent not playing less opponents
Both are advantages of finishing top of the group EMEA gave top the of group a bye na gave worse oppo. I’m not saying which I prefer but I disagree saying it’s ‘unfair’ that FPX only play one game to qual

it is less fair
miniature [#54]it is less fair
I mean they played a 5 week long league play and have now benefitted with a bye because they won but Agree to disagree I guess
nikoko07 [#39]when there is a 2 teams tie, the tiebraker is the match between them result
ohh okayy
miniature [#53]nah fuck me. i wont reply to anyone again vlr. mybad. am i just that retarded or does this happen to other ppl
happens to all
miniature [#53]nah fuck me. i wont reply to anyone again vlr. mybad. am i just that retarded or does this happen to other ppl
What happened?
miniature [#60]i try to reply to someone and it just posts as a normal post
Happens when you reply too quickly and the timer appears I think

Happened to me sometimes too, sometimes it just bugs.
If a message appears saying you can’t make so many posts that quickly just refresh the page, you’ll see that your reply was already posted

well im not really trying to comment on whether they earned the bye vs worse oppo, moreso im tryna say that it is technically more fair to have worse oppo vs the bye. Bye is literally a pass. it is a 1up: free win to "easier win"
