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"?

Surely...

Lets goooo

Lots of you gonna claim either this is fluke or a mickey mouse tournament... and someone gonna say pacific will not gonna win this masters. So fuking predictable

Either flashy go-kill rounds or shits that make everyone questions why are they even here

Literally account made 3 minutes ago

I think it's kin

LOCK//IN revenge matches... from the same bracket 🤯

so the kickoff winners really are the kickoff winners for a reason

Wait, the schedule is in, it is basically what i wrote, just day 1 and 2 switched

Yeah but sen cant fight kc first round

For maximum different region matchups

Day 1:
EDG v PRX
SEN v TH

Day 2:
KC v FPX
GEN.G v LOUD

Day 3:
Winners Day 1
Winners Day 2

Day 4:
Losers Day 2
Losers Day 1

Day 5:
1-1 teams of different regions

EDIT: Schedule is in, basically the same match up

As if they actually scripted them to go against each other

My mistake, I'm just dumb and trying to make 4 stars

4 0-0 round stage
2 1-0 round stage
2 0-1 round stage
2 1-1 round stage

How, do you think, would the schedule work?

EDIT: My mistake, it is 5 days lol. Ignore this post please

Either:
KC v LOUD
EDG v TH
GEN.G v FPX

or:
EDG v LOUD
KC v FPX
GEN.G v TH

Which one is better for profit and viewership?

8 teams only so 2 wins or 2 losses, whichever comes first

Everyone starts with 0-0 win/loss, and kickoff winners will fight against runner ups from other region (e.g. SEN v PRX)

4 teams that win this first round will go to 1-0 round and fight amongst one of each other and vice versa for 0-1 teams. (So 4 teams with 1-0 record and 4 teams with 0-1 record)

Then:

• 2 Teams that win 1-0 round will have 2 wins and qualify to playoff
• 2 Teams that lose 0-1 round will have 2 losses and will be eliminated.
• 2 teams that win first round then lose the second, or 2 teams that lose then win (hence 4 teams with 1-1 record) will then fight one of each other. 2 teams that win this will have 2-1 record and qualify, while 2 teams that lose will have 1-2 record and eliminated.

I'll try explaining:
Everyone starts with 0-0 win/loss, and kickoff winners will fight against runner ups from other region (e.g. SEN v PRX)

4 teams that win this first round will go to 1-0 round and fight amongst one of themselves and vice versa for 0-1 teams.

Then:

2 Teams that win 1-0 round will have 2 wins and qualify to playoff
2 Teams that lose 0-1 round will be eliminated for 2 losses.
2 teams that win first round then lose the second, or 2 teams that lose then win (hence 4 teams with 1-1 win/loss) will then fight one of each other. 2 teams that win this will have 2-1 record and qualify, while 2 teams that lose will have 1-2 record and eliminated.

Im just about to ask that, hope they make a live draw

So SEN v PRX first match is possible?

Only CN region broke the script... but let's just say the region is still new sp it doesn't count

Phoenix holding angle with flash, died
Omen ult tped and not canceling, died
Three people behind a box and got grenaded, gg

Any more weird round like that?

SEN will be Americas' #1 seed, and potentially have SEN v PRX first match in masters

Buy me some keychain and fridge magnet pls

Probably the case but what's the harm with a little hoping?

Please?

Hoping that Americas wont fked it up

It feels very possible...................

For the "two teams from the same group qualify to Madrid" script. I know I have EDG winning this but now I want Trace to win

YALL DID?!? I dont know that

I just realized this but all EMEA extra spots due to FNATIC's win in LOCK//IN were grabbed by NAVI.

Just a thought that I just realized

It's either EG vs LOUD or EG vs SEN... can't really complain

Sed

Imma spread misinformation and say:

Riot doesn't have private establishments in South America. For a regional tournament, it's better to save money and do it at their own building than renting out stadiums

That's what worries me. G2 knowing that if SEN wins just 1 map, they won't qualify anymore so either we get troll comp that's fun to watch or an absolute disappointment
