just thought this would be funny to share
if the following happens:
Week 7:
100T beats FUR
MIBR beats EG
SEN beats KRU
LOUD beats NRG
C9 beats LEV
Week 8:
SEN beats FUR
EG beats NRG
C9 beats KRU
LOUD beats LEV
MIBR beats 100T
the final standings would look like this:
LOUD 9-0
C9 8-1
NRG 4-5
FUR 4-5
LEV 4-5
100T 4-5
EG 4-5
SEN 4-5
MIBR 4-5
KRU 0-9
this would be a 7-way tie for the last 4 playoff spots, tiebreaks would be a nightmare but i'll try to work it out in a comment
edit: nvm, tiebreaks would literally just be map differential, then round differential, then apparently a tiebreaker bo1 match to break any further ties, since all 7 teams would have a 3-3 H2H record against each other
also before you say this is impossible, consider that C9 and LOUD are probably favored to win their last 2 games, and KRU is favored to lose their last 2 games, which only leaves 4 more results needed for this to happen (100T over FUR, MIBR over EG, SEN over FUR, EG over NRG), i'm not saying this is likely to happen but it realistically could
