Based on the rules released by Riot Games EMEA competitive ops, here are the VCT Stage 2 Group Stage drawing procedures:
- For the purposes of the draw, teams will be seeded according to the final standings from the VCT Stage 1 Regular Season
- Teams will then be grouped by seed and a representative draw slip (i.e. draw slip with “#1 Seeds” written) will be placed into three pools as follows:
Pool 1:
● #1 Seeds (BME & RRQ)
● #2 Seeds (DRX & TLN)
Pool 2:
● #3 Seeds (GEN & T1)
● #4 Seeds (PRX & NS)
Pool 3:
● #5 Seeds (GE & ZETA)
● #6 Seeds (DFM & TS)
-
Starting with Pool 1, a single draw slip will be selected, with the chosen seeds swapping groups for Stage 2 (Per pool will draw 1 seed which will exchange groups in Stage 2)
-
This process will then be repeated for Pools 2 and 3, until all teams have been assigned to a group for Stage 2.
Thus, some teams have already got an overview of the groups in Stage 2 as below.
