Sadly won't get to watch the games but I'll pop in for some score updates but don't create multiple threads after 1 map calling M3C or FPX fraud etc...Let the series end then make the threads. Ggs see you in 6 hours.
1) not everyone bitched about seeding not mattering and 2) teams being automatically in playoffs can drastically change events, like if laviatan won against nip then kru wouldve been in playoffs instead of being out in 12th place, the guard maybe couldve been eliminated in group stage too or optic couldve been less prepared if they were in the playoffs, fnatic couldve had derke to play with them if they were in playoffs, etc
when did i say anything about coping....? im just saying i dislike how riot is changing their format every tournament, iceland 2021 had no group stage, both berlin tournaments had group stages but no double elim playoffs, and now iceland 2022 we had group stage + double elim playoffs but with teams being already in playoffs from regional play
