poggo , today match will be bangerrr

Yeah its important, but not for top regions tbh. Team like Fnatic will have no problems playing 1 extra game against some minor region 2nd/3rd seed.

Please , I would have agreed if any relevant and GOOD valorant professional esports player would have said that
I give same value to mixwell as I give to any random vlr user.

That's true, but you secure winning more points for champions

Reminder that last year, Paper Rex was denied an automatic qualification to Champions because they lost their Circuit Points tiebreaker with Bren Esports (now Team Secret) due to them losing the Stage 3 SEA Playoffs to... Bren Esports. They went to LCQ and lost accordingly. Seeding matches matter.

For team like fnatic who rely so much on "unique" tactics, the bye straight to round 2 matters much more than to g2. Fact of the matter is that fnatic showed their entire tactical repertoire during group stage and they simply got figured out by the time late stages of playoffs came around.

Still pretty bummed out because of that mann.. It sucked too considering Bren had visa issues.

It can be true but listen to me, if g2 wins today, they will be 1 round deeper in masters, so Fnatic have to play 1 more BO3 in masters than them, so g2 have an advantage bc they can see other teams playing before they play among them

Seeding matches do matter but you don't get extra circuit points for placing higher if you already qualified for another event. You get the circuit points in that other event.

so they not doing a group stage this time?

I don't know, I only know that they avoid the first round, maybe groups, maybe quarter-final. Idk
