ok first, how tf are you gonna publish a group stage where only 4 teams make it to playoffs and think it will be received well be the community? they changed that though, so there’s some hope in their thinking. but then they come out with this bracket. how tf do you look at your screen, see SMB, ACE and VS in the same group and still publish it. how do you see that F4Q, after getting 3-1’d by VS, have to go against the lower EMEA seed. how do you look at Envy’s group and say, “oh yeah this group is just as strong as Group A!” i understand there can be many statistical and seeding factors that go into it, but clearly a brain was not one of those factors
