First of all why are there still same region matchups in first matches and second of all the biggest one i think is why some teams have a 4 day gap between their elim matches while other's have 2, i get that they started playing later but it wasn't unfair to teams facing each other, on the other hand loud and team liquid had 4 days same with other teams, while giants nd kru have 2 days their group is the only one that has the least amount of time to prep for their elim game weird af bracket.
