g2 vs kru could quite possibly be the most boring matchup in playoff history. otherwise, 100t can really prove themselves by defeating both gambit and acend (assuming they beat smb ofc). but then they have to face 100T. the script rlly has it so a Vision Strikers vs Sentinels final could happen

How is that copium? Gambit could win against VS and they could even match up pretty well, and ACE could make it to finals if they play to their fullest. People are really underrating them after one bad game. Having to win against 100T and then SEN is really really hard, but its not impossible.

it's really not that crazy. it was guaranteed to be 2 NA teams on 1 side of the bracket (3 teams 2 brackets). The 3rd being there is because they came group runner up.

definitely not as crazy as 2 EMEA teams in 1 group.

yk what, I'm really happy with these matchups. I want to see the NA teams duke it out for their spot in their finals, as an NA fan. Only 1 will make it through this NA civil war gauntlet. It means more than seeing an NA vs NA final, or a potential EMEA vs EMEA final; there's way more variety in the finals like EMEA/NA vs JP/KR/EMEA/LATAM if fucking Crazy Raccoon or KRU make it for whatever reason. SEN, 100T and ENVY have the hope of NA on their shoulders and 1 can make it out.

I want to see some good games, none of this bracket slander saying Riot fucked over NA, because it was a random draw.
