Translation: top seed start in semi finals
So if they win 1 match they are qualified to Copenhagen but since we know seeding matters, it’ll mean fnatic/guild go for top seed again.
EMEA Format: Have to work hard to get to TOP 3 of the grp and make it to playoffs. In playoffs 1 to 2 wins you are in Masters because selecting 3 out of 6 playoff teams is easier.
NA Format: Easier to get to Playoffs as 4 teams from each group go to playoffs but it will be a war to go to Masters because only 2 out of 8 teams make it to Masters
Honestly it's the opposite in both but I feel EMEA is kinda bad because 1 to 2 wins and you are in masters like it doesn't add the playoff feel NA adds that feel quite well imo
Yeah that's true because EMEA playoffs are providing a way easier route to Masters especially for 1st seeds they just need to win one and Lo and behold they have booked their flights to Copenhagen. NA Format is correct as you said it atleast make playoffs look like playoffs EMEA playoffs looks like you win this game we give you a free flight ticket to Copenhagen.
