locked if they win this game 2-1
I guess the format is a little weird but also you need to remember if 2 teams are going 5-0 or 6-0 in the same group, then most likely the teams in the other group don't have at least 3 teams with over 2 wins so more teams from one group make it. Riot tried to balance the groups but its tough when it's so unpredictable.
very possible to happen where the other group have 3 teams with more than 2 wins if the unbeatens are in the group with 5 teams, like literally if you give the ts vs prx game to prx, that's what happens, the format is just in shambles, though to be fair it is hard to make a format where it can truly be fair for such a schedule
no actually it can happen theoretically, the announcement didn't say the rule only applies for 3rd placed team - meaning if the 1st placed team didn't win 2 matches, the whole other group goes thru
