It's the shit format. I'm not convinced at all how every Seed 1 went out cold this time around, especially when they all won so convincingly their respective finals. 2-3 stage games' worth of warm-up against shitters would be invaluable.
Last year people excused it because FNC and PRX were on their unholy streak of form, so it wouldn't have mattered. But teams are so inconsistent this year that a slight dip can ruin the whole tournament.
Just give them 1 win's advantage in groups. No point keeping Swiss if teams play just 2-3 games like this year. Valorant always have the sparsest, most gimped format ever, because apparently Riot is so concerned of low viewcount that they wouldn't give us games in the first place.
