If Fnatic passes the knockout round, TH FUT and FNC will go straight to the champions without the need for another match, right? Because TH and FUT go directly to the semi-finals, they will have +1 champions points and the gap with other teams will not be closed, only Kcorp is close in points and if they pass the knockout round with FNC, all 4 of them will go to champions without the need for another match.

clueless?
the only chance nrg can even qualify for stage 2 playoffs is beating c9 in their upcoming match AND getting a + 17 round differential (which is basically impossible)
and assuming c9 doesnt get a positive round diff in their game against kru
if nrg do make playoffs they have to avoid getting knocked out by much stronger contenders etc. LEV and SEN
tl;dr nrg is cooked (as much as i love s0m and fenis)
I don't think so. In the scenario where 3 teams qualify for the semi-finals, 2 teams qualify champions in each scenario. Since these 3 teams are the 3 teams with the highest champions points, the other one automatically joins the champions with their points. In other words, no matter what, since these 3 qualify champions in every scenario, if Fnatic passes the knock out round, the rest doesn't matter.
ohhh my bad you're actually right. th and fut can both lose semis but either of them would lose to fnatic then. One of them winning lower then and the last one qualify with points. thats crazy. who do u think will most likely be the 4th team? wanna know ur opinion cause i can see any of them qual rn. probably KC has the best chance right? because theres a high chance Fnatic, TH and FUT qual through playoffs.
I'm not too sure either. Navi and KC's performance in stage 2 confused me a lot. But although KC seems to be the most likely one due to the points, we need to see the matches who will be 4th, 5th and 6th, and Vitality's playing style seems a bit challenging for FUT. If Vitality can somehow match with FUT, they can also qualify.
I agree with what u said. Yeah tiebreaker will decide whos making playoffs. theres gonna be a lot of teams 4-6 or 5-5. the last 2 spots are a gamble rn. I think vitality is the best representation for emea as a 4th team rn. they have the potential to upset big teams. KC, Navi and Liquid look ass rn tbh.
Yes, definitely, the teams other than these 3 seem average to me. Apart from these, I only trust coach Engh. Whenever I dream of something and say "hmm why don't teams do this?", Engh definitely makes his team do it in the future or he has done it in previous matches and I haven't seen it. That's why I have a lot of respect for him, but I don't trust his team at all. Also, GX has been attracting my attention lately, maybe they can surprise us somehow. Anyway, once the playoffs are confirmed, we can speak more clearly and have more rational ideas.
Yeah hes a good coach but idk what happened. they aren't shooting anymore like in kickoff. losing 13-2 on sunset or even at their own pick icebox 13-3 idk. GX looks way better with Famsii but i don't think they will make it. they would have to beat FUT for a possible tiebreak but maybe next year. I'm sad that Navi fell off. they looked so good stage 1 but were so unlucky facing heretics twice in the knockout match.
