Whoever came up with the format needs to be fired

As a league viewer I thought we had it bad, but this stage 1 format is so much worse

2 random ass groups, but they only play the teams in the OTHER group? That shit makes no sense at all, not to mention the groups aren't even because of the addition ascension team

Add in the fact that the groups aren't balanced whatsoever, and you can't possibly balance it

The worst thing is this shitty ass format is the same for all 4 regions, so you have to suffer 4x. At least for lol esport, the individual leagues (lpl/lck/lcs/lec) gets to decide their own format, there's variety and experimentation, like lck has the double round bo3 for regular, and lpl has the best playoff brackets

Last thing, what if you want to watch 2 teams in the same group face off? You just can't until playoff? where they may not even meet each other?

I don't care what anyone else says, this format is straight ASS, total turnoff if you're trying to get into val esports

Next stage it will be teams against the other teams in their own group. So you only have to wait a month before teams in the same group start playing each other.

They should have just made 2 round robin stages
so each team has 10 matchups and then top 6 move to playoffs
theres barely any games being played

Yep, that would be most logical and fair

And keeps the playoff bracket as is, I think its perfect, kinda of LPL-esque, gives concrete advantage to 1st and 2nd place finishes

riot somehow so allergic using round robin swiss format, they dont want to be seen to be similar as counter strike so bad

I would fucking love to see swiss format, although it may be weird for 11 teams, even number teams would work better so maybe next year
