horrible AMER LCQ format

Three teams will immediately be eliminated with no second chance. Two of those teams that have a chance to immediately be knocked out have a H2H win versus LEV who is guaranteed a second chance in lower
The sides of the bracket are region + (scuffed) seed based instead of purely seed based. All matchups (in upper bracket) until upper finals are NA vs NA or latam/br vs latam/br

This next one is the worst, IMO.
Despite FURIA winning against LATAM in Playoffs, and having the same finish (5-6th) as LEV, LEV is given the better seed.

mwzera against everything

Whoever is organising these is absolutely rarted

this is really confusing they could just fix the seeds to be purely based on playoff finish and then after based on league seed for the 7-10 seed. and why cant there just be two lowers semis lol

rito always rigs tournament brackets. why do u think they won't do live stream draws?

Hopefully 100T, FURIA, and MIBR all get eliminated instantly

Teams like Sentinels and Krü that got eliminated early in Lock-in and didn't make Playoffs have only played 10 matches. If they lose another first match in a single-elimination tournament they will end this year with only 11 matches played in total in a full season as a franchised team. Imagine if Krü ends the year with 0/11.

Bye sentrash

what the fuck is this goofy format

Why does furia have the easiest possible way ever

horrifying, thank you, I think other regions will have the same format too with a slight mod for emea since vit pulled out for a good reason
