it is information still to be announced, but i think the PH seeding info was leaked somewhere
edit: confirmed #1 and #2 to groups in rulebook
maybe
Groups:
TH #1, #2
ID #1, #2
PH #1, #2
MYSG #1, #2
VN #1
HKTW #1
SA #1
OCE #1
Playin:
TH #3
ID #3
PH #3
MYSG #3
VN #2, #3
HKTW #2
SA #2
I think it could either be this^ or VN and MYSG slots gets swapped
link?
https://www.vlr.gg/event/840/valorant-conquerors-championship it says playoffs for both here
that's apac playoffs event , i saw somewhere here that top seeds from each region would play in group stage and last seed will have to play "playins"
no clear source but it would make sense if #1 seed goes to groups idk much just a speculation
Why we don't deserve to be seeded in groups both teams should be in play-in imo
Why is this fair ? SA teams are not better than t2 SEA it's better for them to go in play-in and give that slot to a deserving SEA team
I mean the so "called" T2 teams are right now T1 teams
Yall called Action PH T2? do u really think they are T2?
U guys called Fallen 5 T2? Do you really think Naos is T2 in SEA rtn?
Action PH went on to Beat TS BREN Oasis
Naos went on to Beat SBE and Zeal who were considered T1 or T1.5 in the SEA Scene
No. Imagine there is one team going champion and their strats, gameplays, communication, etc. were all exposed so any teams can do their homework to play against TS. for example, Bren won TS once but lost to OAS becase they dont have much infomation about OAS
Also APH lost to Full sense 0-2 no close
has played 3 VCT matches till date
won against 1 korean team and almost won against 2nd korean team too ( A region which even had first strike all the way back in Dec2020)
lost to prx badly but then again prx is the most OP team in 2nd most strongest region so all good
playins includes :
3rd seed for Thailand, Philippines, MYSG, indo, Viet and 2nd seed for Vietnam, South Asia, HKTW,
groups includes :
1st and 2nd seed Thailand, Philippines, MYSG, indo, Vietnam, 1st seed HKTW and 1st seed south Asia
Edit : also oce in groups
my guess
SG, ID, PH, TH, HK, VN 3rd seed to play in
SA 2nd seed play in & OCE to play in
4 teams proceed to group stage
then 16 team group stage
ID = 3 Representatives -> (UNCONFIRMED but probably 2 for group and 1 for play-in)
SG/MY = 3 Representatives -> (UNCONFIRMED but probably 2 for group and 1 for play-in)
TH = 3 Representatives -> (UNCONFIRMED but probably 2 for group and 1 for play-in)
PH = 3 Representatives -> (CONFIRMED?) 2 for group and 1 for play-in
HK/TW = 2 Representatives -> (UNCONFIRMED but probably 1 for group and 1 for play-in)
VN = 3 Representatives -> (UNCONFIRMED but probably 2 for group and 1 for play-in)
SA(VCC) = 2 Representatives -> (UNCONFIRMED but probably 1 for group and 1 for play-in)
OCE = 1 Representatives (CONFIRMED) -> Bonkers (POG)
This is my opinion of the APAC Playoffs. I also think that the 2 top teams in the play-in will later qualify for group.
Pretty sure it's gonna be last seed from every region in Playins, and rest of the teams and Oce's only team (THE GOD TEAM) go to Group Stage.
Don't have any source just the most sensible option imo.
Play-in (8) Single Elimination
ID (1), PH (1), SG (1), TH (1), VN (2), HK (1), SA (1)
Group (16) 4x4 Group
ID (2), PH (2), SG (2), TH (2), VN (1), HK (1), SA (1), OCE (1), Play-in (4)
Finals (8) Double Elimination
I guess play in is something like a Wildcard qualifier where the teams who couldn't qualify for main event by just one position from various regions will fight for a spot in the playoffs
