i dont think it matters? im not sure, it says there will be a group stage so i think groupstage seeding will matter more for playoffs. not 100% on this

it does,

easier matches -> less strats shown -> better time in playoffs

Yes bro, Gambit got the easiest group at champs thanks to their goated seeding, SEN realistically got an easy group,

It does to some doesn’t to others but at the end of the day you have to beat the best to be the best no matter what

money,circuit points and looking at the bracket in m2 rekyavik it kinda does matter

Seeding matters when your fav team wins and vice versa

You gotta win against everyone, so idk in that matter.
Money? yes

It matters enough to try but it doesn't matter enough to be upset if you lose

doesn’t matter for fnatic or FPX they prob destroy any other regions 1st seed

Copium

Yes, imagine being put out in a Death group

stop giving excuses

FPX were the better team

Master Iceland isnt group format, Its double-elim bracket so its important.
"This year we are updating the VCT Points structure to more heavily reward performances at international events. Additionally, the top seeds from North America, EMEA, APAC, and the top seed from the winner of the LATAM and Brazil playoff will get seeded deeper in the bracket, while the remaining teams will need to battle from earlier rounds of competition"
