Most stacked top 8 ever?

#1

especially if prx get something, and drx are back to atleast a decent level, they have a few days off so its possible, this could be the most stacked playoffs bracket yet

All of the teams are playing better teams more often and the rosters generally have more talent

Easily. Every bracket before this one has had some teams that were good but not great. Champs 2022 was almost as stacked tho. It was ruined by having TL and LEV

how did LEV ruin the champs bracket last year? They were literally defining the Champs meta with their stinger buys and Haven gameplay, that’s why every team was stealing from them, especially and notoriously LOUD, who won the tournament

More stacked competitive-wise compared to pretty much all previous tournaments, though, that's because this is the first tournament since franchising started flourishing out the teams. Lock-in was too early for any franchised team to be readily developed and synchronized.

yea, imo i think edg will lose their gas in playoffs, this was their immediate peak. they'll have a much stronger chance in champions though

Yeah? Not seeing what the Americas teams are doing?
C9, LEV, SEN even 100t are better than some playoff teams like EDG, PRX and DRX.

For the time yeah, but we have to admit franchising has condensed the talent pool to make better teams.

LEV is only not in this masters bc they play in the STRONGEST league itw, XSET is only not in this masters bc they disbanded and also play in the STRONGEST league itw.

PRX is only in these playoffs bc they play in the WEAKEST league itw, EDG is only in this masters bc TENCENT owns Riot. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If PRX and EDG played in Americas league, they wouldnt even play in the regional playoffs.

Lev were good in the beginning, but like every tournament falloff because they refuse to change protocols and anti-strat. Xset while they were good with chamber leaving the meta and a team with Dephh on it they were bound to fall behind eventually. Prx are legitimately good and just because they play in the weakest league doesn't mean they aren't at least relative to other top seed. EDG are a top 3 team in terms of mechanical ability if you watch the games. Plus, if you watch the T1 game you would see that they can adapt and slow down the pace of their play if needed.

PRX has the SAME level as DRX, so much so that the final was 5 maps, and DRX was WASHED by EG, which is Americas seed 3, you understand that if PRX played in the Americas league, they would not even qualify for Tokyo ? The same goes for EDG.

DRX also played EG with Foxy9. How can you be so certain PRX wouldn't qual if they were in Americas. Yes, it would be tougher because they have to face tougher competition, but they themselves are the best coming out of their region. We haven't had a top 3 internationally without a Pacific team in the last year.
