Is there any chance that this format will be used in Champs 2024 instead of 4 groups format?

yes

1. Winner of current majors (SEN)
2. PACIFIC
3. the rest of the world

Are they non-binary then? I'm assuming riot want non-binary to showcase non-binary agent?

DEFINITELY NOT A BAIT

Umm prx fan here...

Sen definitely gonna have some countermeasure there, cuz the trend is to ban your worst map and opponent's best map

GEN bans Sunset (permaban)
GEN bans Split (Sen best map)
---------------------------------------------
GEN picks Icebox (force sen to pick lotus)
SEN picks Lotus (next best)
GEN picks Ascent (preferred over breeze)
SEN picks Bind (breeze is bad for sen)
Decider is Breeze

Sure

Tbh sen didn't send down prx tho, so no

Grandfather paradox type shit

Sentinels sent down heretics, karmine corp and loud for paper rex to eliminate them out

50/50... 50% they did, 50% they wont

If upper final is bo5, you need another match to be bo5 to have good match schedule... it's always been 2 bo3 or 1 bo5 on that day

It is entirely possible for the whole group to lose every game since they're gonna go against the other group and not their own

Imagine the whole group Alpha got 0-6 record and group Omega got 5-0 record

You spell replay system wrong

A bit of copium but imo GEN won kickoff because monyet was still warming up that time... seeing his performance now in Madrid, compared to kickoff, makes me believe PRX might win against GEN

interesting, given that monyet is an Indonesian word pronounced mo-nyet

it's mo-nyet, like the russian nyet

8 teams = 2 wins to qualify, 2 losses to go home
16 teams = 3 wins or 3 losses
So by extrapolation
32 teams = 4 wins or 4 losses
4 teams = 1 win or 1 lose (really it's just double elim)

Pearl
Haven
Fracture
Kasbah
Piazza
District
Drift

"Random" draw... it's either this or gen v loud rematch and sen v prx hype match

Wait how? Bsuz hypothetically it can be that sen wins until grand final, and then loud does a lower bracket run to grand final

Maximum of 9 maps over 3 matches

Do whatever you wanna do with this information

Because it's mo-nyet, not mon-yet

Cannot happen, sadly

It's 2-0 teams vs 2-1 teams

Hehehe im not wearing prx jersey rn so they should win this

Kekw

Playoffs should be, for inter-regional matchups:
SEN v PRX
GEN v LOUD

I've been saying this before

East Asia region (EA):
EDG, JDG, BLG
DRX, GEN, T1, DPLUS
ZETA, DFM, FL

Believe in Fennel

3 china, 4 korea, 3 japan...

Possible teams:
EDG, JDG, BLG
DRX, GEN, T1, DPLUS
ZETA, DFM, FL

Idk anymore...

Convert Pacific and China regions to East Asia (CN, KR, JP) and Asia Pacific (the rest of asia, possibly Oceania too)

12 teams Swiss stage format is, theoretically, impossible to work out because you're gonna have 3 teams with 2-0 records

One of the top flex out there for a reason

Some teams are bound to lose 2 matches, if it's not fpx, it'll be other teams

best case scenario imo is for the "win then lose" teams will go against the "lose then win" teams

or inter-region matchups so no two team from the same region will compete each other

not predicting, im saying its riot script that will, or must, put them together, giving us non inter-region matchup

i mean like they gonna put these two together and not separately for the first round of playoff

they will fight each other in the first round, riot script if you will

isn't lower final bo5?

based on their kickoff stats:
Icebox and Lotus look like their strong maps
Ascent and Bind are promising
No true permaban

I would say avoid hot and dry environment

LIVE DRAW!!!!

Any info?

I wore their jersey both times during kickoff grand final and just now... maybe i shouldn't wear it on their next game?

ahhh the professional misinformation broker...

damnnn bro made the account 7 minutes ago just to post this

Interesting take...

Perhaps, but what will happen if pacific finally gets a trophy? Will we be praised or looked down to with excuses like "fluke win" or "mickey mouse tournament"?
