previous iceland had 10 teams and this year they have 12 teams. So are the formats gonna be groups like 6-6 or just tournament style?

3 groups, 4 teams each

This is wrong. Playoffs will never happen according to this.

probably 4 groups of 3? Like g2 sentinels f4q group in berlin, 2 make it out for 8 team playoff

I don't really know. But I'd love to see EMEA format which has 2 groups and only 6 goes into playoffs. So we can get to see more regions play against other regions in the group stage.

That's why seeding matters. Who knows the format.

As far as I can see it is. If not 3 teams and 4 groups play double matches against eachother. Maybe RIOT has another format prioritizing the regions. Don't really know

I think group stage like League , each team play each team twice is best. MOre matches to play. Bracket format make a team can only play 2 matches

Maybe
NA - first seed
EMEA - first seed
APAC - first seed
BR - first seed

but that format looks wrong so I doubt

NA, EMEA, APAC, BR or LATAM depending on which one wins the final spot
