Playoffs Draw

I don't really know why people were so upset with the draw. I think its better to get the initial regional matchups out of the way and leave the international matchups for big elimination games. Now we get bangers like SEN vs EDG, G2 vs FNC, LEV vs TH and DRX vs Trace.

I think its also better for the initial match to be regional matchups because it lets newer teams who might be nervous play a familiar opponent. This can calm their nerves and help them get acclimated to the Champs scenery. Going forward all the international match ups will be giga bangers.

w take

Group stages already have a healthy amount of international matchups as it is.

I'm pretty sure it's been like this the past few champions, no?

Can't blame riot, better viewership with some diversity later in the bracket

I very much agree, but that 2nd bracket definitely a little unfair, either G2 or FNC now have to get eliminated, even tho both of them could make a top 4.

2-0 all intial match up
riot wwwwwwww

i mean the only bad thing abt the bracket and draw overall is that even if u lose u end up facing the same side of the bracket you would face anyway for example if sen were to lose now and drx win they would play again sen drx and to be honest its pretty lame cause honestly all the weaker teams are facing each other and all the strong teams facing each other honestly looks like a sentinels script cause they can get to semis without facing any top teams lmao

Agreed, except let's not pretend DRX vs Trace is a banger
