VCT PACIFIC KICK-OFF

is this correct?
Bracket Seeding (First Round):
Upper Bracket Round 1:
Match 1: Rex Regum Qeon (#5) vs. BOOM Esports (#12)
Match 2: TALON (#6) vs. Nongshim Redforce (#11)
Match 3: T1 (#7) vs. DetonatioN FocusMe (#10)
Match 4: ZETA DIVISION (#8) vs. Global Esports (#9)
Upper Bracket Round 2 (with Byes):
Winner of Match 1 vs. Paper Rex (#1)
Winner of Match 2 vs. DRX (#2)
Winner of Match 3 vs. Team Secret (#3)
Winner of Match 4 vs. Gen.G (#4)

edit: the first rounds are most likely these matchups
edit again: i think geng and paper rex are interchangeable cuz of their placings on last champs (basing on champs performance according to some comments)
Match 1: Team Secret (#5) vs. BOOM Esports (#12) → Winner meets Talon Esports (#4)
Match 2: Rex Regum Qeon (#6) vs. Nongshim Redforce (#11) → Winner meets Paper Rex (#2/#3)
Match 3: T1 (#7) vs. DetonatioN FocusMe (#10) → Winner meets Gen.G (#2/#3)
Match 4: ZETA DIVISION (#8) vs. Global Esports (#9) → Winner meets DRX (#1)

it was based on champs last year, since eg, edg, prx and fnatic were first seed

yeah, if they continue with making it based on champs, this would be it. Except DRX would be 1st seed

Im pretty sure with seeding conventions the first match order would go up against the byes in the opposite order (#4 seed vs expected #5 seed), (#1 seed vs expected #8 seed)

yeah if that's how the 5-12th seeds are done it should be like that, but I also think drx might be #1 bc of placing higher in champs than the other 3 but I could be wrong

if this is the case, wouldnt geng and prx be interchangeable? cuz they both placed 9th - 12th last champs, or are they gonna be placed based on their regular season performance

correct me if im wrong, but i think if they finish at in the same place at champs, then it goes to the higher rated team going into the tournament. so #2 would be gen.g and #3 is prx

Idk it was just from last season eg was 1st seed even though loud won Americas, I assume they would do drx 1st and then others based on split 2 placement or something like that

i think the one in my post is more correct(?), u got the match ups right but the winners of match 1-2-3-4 a bit mixed for their second games, i just connect the dots with the seeding format that was on the riot official page, and i based it of champs performance too

i don't think it's a live draws, they are just announcing the brackets, it's the same for all regions, people already know the brackets.
