Riot say kickoff will be 12 team double elim

How the hell is this going to work
A vs b, c vs d, e vs f, g vs h, I vs j, k vs l
Upper bracket: a vs c, e vs g, I vs k
Lower bracket; b vs d, f vs h, j vs l
Upper bracket a vs e, I
This doesn’t work because team l would have no opponent in the upper semis

allat

Probably 2 best teams of last year get a bye or something. It specifically mentions seed when talking about it if I’m not mistaken

teams seeded 5 - 12 (aka teams that didnt make champs) will play the first round of upper bracket and the winners of those will face seeds 1 - 4 (champs teams). so essentially all the orgs that qualed for champs this year get a bye in kickoff next year

Will probably have byes for a few teams

If you watch the Riot games video you can see that 4 teams get a bye to the second round.

So the teams at champs for each region are getting a bye
