I'm brazillian, so this could be kinda biased, but i think it's really unfair that stage 2 doesn't reset standings like in LoL. FURIA was dogshit in Stage 1 and deserverd the last place, but they made some changes to the roster and i think they are some mid tier team rn, and i would really like to see them atleast having a chance to try to go to playoffs, but that was almost impossible since beginning because of 0-5.
Not just that but closed circuit is really bad for an FPS game, i like the way Valve and CS do things.
