Iceland Format

#1

FIreFistOM

This is how i believe the iceland format will be
10 Teams so 2 Groups of 5 teams - Group A and Group B
In Each group each team will fight once against all teams in that Group
So 10 Group A matches and !0 Group B matches

May 24-28 ( Group Stage ) :
2 Group A matches and 2 Group B Matches Each Day

May 29 (SemiFinals) :
Top 2 Teams from each Group will fight here
SF1 : First in Group A vs Second in Group B
SF2 : First in Group B vs Second in Group A

May 30 (Finals) :
Winners of Both SemiFinals fight for the title of VCT MASTERS 2 CHAMPION
Winner of SF1 vs Winner of SF2

Also they might add a breeze showmatch before final match on may 30 with players from remaining 8 teams
since only one match will be played on this day.

What do you guys think ... is there possibility of any another format... If you have have any other idea please do share below

nah they should progress top 4 from each group top 2 go to upper bracket and bottom 2 go to lower bracket, where they play against a team from the other group

10 matches just to eliminate a single team? Also the schedule doesn't work out for a DO bracket

you think thats bad, in dota they have 2 groups of 9 and 8 go thro the other team dont even play on lan. Also not having a lower bracket would be like the worst thing ever

lmao no i dont watch league, what esports do double elimination playoffs at lan????? it makes it boring af, single elimination playoffs makes it so fun and makes it more intense and gives us legendary matches unlike having another chance to make finals in case you lose at quarterfinals or semifinals

Lec and LCS both changed to do it in the last 2 year, I believe a lot of fighting games are double elim, basically every Dota Lan at T1 has been double elim, I believe a few of the ow lans pre owl were double elim. Lower bracket runs are just about the most hype thing in esports. To say no lans are double elim is factually untrue. Those are just the ones I can think off of the top of my head I'm sure there's more in scenes I don't follow

i dont care about those games, double elim for big lans is dogshit in tactical shooters, maybe it makes sense in those games but for tactical shooters double elim is only good for qualifiers imo

Not necessarily there might be upper and lower finals and the loser of the upper bracket finishes 3rd

Unless the whole tournament is a DO bracket, then the schedule doesn't work out for a DO Playoffs

This was exactly the format I was thinking and probably how the format is going to be, the possible problem is that would be 4 matches per day(20 BO3 in 5 days) in groups which is a lot. I was thinking in other format that would be double elim with 4 teams (the second seeds of NA, EU,BR + some first seed team) in the upper round 1 and the rest of the teams would be already in upper quarterfinals, that whole bracket would be 17 bo3 and one bo5 with average of 3 matches per day.

May 24-28 ( Group Stage ) :
2 Group A matches and 2 Group B Matches Each Day

Can they afford 4 Bo3s a day?

There is no way they do this... thats such a shitty bracket format... and this is first ever valorant lan tournament... no way in hell they choose that format... 4 teams in upper round 1 have such a disadvantage over other teams also 4 of teams in that format have gauranteed top 8 positions...

also i remember seeing that bracket when sea challengers finals was ongoing... it showed 16 team double elim bracket ... and 6 teams were not mentioned and in its position it was written "bye bye"... so it was by default win for team whose opponents were bye bye... and they later removed matched with bye bye as one of team and thats how the bracket we see there now was formed

There is a possibility they could the winners of the EMEA and NA challengers finals into the round-of-8 kinda like how LoL WC has a Play-In Stage, but the fact there are two BR teams muddies those waters.

Bracket would still be shit, I would prefer any other format... for the most part.

The format is up now we just don’t know which teams are where. I assume the group stage will give the standings but we don’t know the groups so it’s not there yet
