they have literally done all the previous draws live in front of the orgs/managers, and they later release the video. can you wait you fucking donuts?

that’s cool they record a video of when they “draw” them but that isn’t doing it on stream live so their audience can see. It shows nothing and it’s only for them to validate it. Majority would much rather a draw after groups end it’s not that hard

definitely, but i was saying that for people questioning the fairness of the draw.

also it requires availability. not all org people will be free at the same time, they might be available at an awkward time like 9 pm jst, you cant just live stream randomly.

I mean it’s def possible to set it up

Just put a set time before groups even start which would literally be after groups ends. If a ORG for some reason can’t make it they can either watch after or have a representative. Easy fix for something that should of already been implemented at least then some of the complaining would stop

yep, i agree, i prefer it to be livestream. it could be better managed, but it wasnt. and again, even without that, it still doesnt justify people questioning the fairness of draw

just 1 master they did not went face to face, master berlin, master reykjavík, and now they had to go face to face at the start of the playoffs. Tell me is there any other team that had this issue?

LOL,it not like they were arrange to fight against each other at the start, you high or what? all of them happened because they were winning and they met at the semis and final, and you are taking americas regional as an example?? you are just stupid. We are talking about facing each other at the start of the playoffs/groups which is decided by riot. Not facing each other after winning.

i get that part but y do we have matches between same regions in the 1st round. it kind of ruins the point of an international

i agree. but its the strategy riot works with. all i want to say is that its not "rigged", whether its the best way to do things or not is subjective

bro we always had to see na vs na on first match and now that we have americas instead of na we got americas vs americas this shit cant be random if it always happens

1st it happened only twice
2nd the playoffs are seeded such that a #1 seed(already qual team) plays a qualified team
we had 50% of the qualified teams in americas region
we had 25% of the teams as # 1 seed already in playoffs

the chances of one of the match ups being americas vs americas was thus quite high

Lowkey funny as fuck that we get a Pacific v Pacific and a AM vs AM, but EMEA (the 1 and 4 seed) were made sure to be spread to different sides of the bracket.

Would much rather the ethical

Fnatic v NRG
Liquid v EDG

Loud v DRX
PRX v EG

Bro the only matchup I wanted was EG vs PRX. That would have been SO insane.

But instead AM vs AM for the quadrillion time. More AM teams have taken out AM teams than EMEA or Pacific has, combined. It's insane.

Yeah it's crazy how the region with the most teams in playoffs has same region matchups more than the regions with fewer teams in the playoffs

There's literally only 8 teams, most of which have made deep runs at international tournaments, and with the way the seeding works there's just not a lot of different possibilities.

Since Loud have already played EG and NRG in Americas, and DRX at LOCK//IN, there was a 75% chance that Loud would get a rematch of sorts.
