in Pacific maybe not, but let's see others regions

semifinals BO5 is good in this format because iit's already a short tournament so why not make the teams put all in the server to qualify (in single elim)?

but double elim still most safe and "meta" format... i mean, every single others stage in 2024 are gonna use, so why not here already?

ZETA is like a fluke Tier A
But Acend is S+

i like SugarZ3ro's Astra... but yeah MaKo is insane
Marved's brim is goated, no?
i think Viper can be suygetsu for no repeat pros

Raze is jinggg 100%, put ScreaM on Phoenix

Sage.... omg, no one play good sage after 2021 i believe lmao

i mean, idk if really someone has a insane breach, i dont remember so much d4v41
Kay/O can be saadhak aswell, he created the meta

i dont care

i never believe this game was the problem... they just smashed a prime Liquid and won a close game against Gambit

but... what they did after?

the team have done the "flukest" run ever in VCT history and they went sh*t after

nothing special

edit: just a stupid english error that i did lmao

i hate "all aim no brain" players

so, i think scream is the number one in this type and i hate him so much (the player and gameplay, not the person)

i mean, LOUD did sort of this aswell

Tuyz wss a great duelist in TBK and goes to Controller in LOUD

DRX

they will finally change the right players and break the curse

for an indie company? i dont think so

Americas (BR > LATAM > NA) > Pacific (JP > APAC > KR) > EMEA

i dont have opinion about China until 2024

Champ 2022

it's crazy to believe that the first 2024 Masters will be in China?

this isn"t a fair draw aswell like i explain here:
https://www.vlr.gg/226720/most-fair-tokyo-bracket

i mean, Riot dont make a "regional strengh" yet this year, so i can't count this really

i was wondering if this is really the best matchups possible and i decided to think in the "logic way" of seeding and regional distribution. i started with 4 pois:

pool 1: LOUD (AME#1), TL (EMEA#1), PRX (PAC#1)
pool 2: FNC (EMEA#2) (just a "extension" from pool 1)
pool 3: NRG (AME#2, A#1), EG (AME#3, B#1)
pool 4: EDG (CN#2 but only alive, A#2), DRX (PAC#2, B#2)

i follow this logic sequence:

• teams from same group stay in the oppsite side (avoid same match twice at least until lower round 2)
• Pool 3 or Pool 4 teams can not stay in the same side (seeding things)
• 2 teams from Pool 1 take the 2 teams from Pool 4 (nothing new)
• the last Pool 1 team and the Pool 2 team take the Pool 3 teams (again, nothing special)
• teams from same regional league cannot stay in the same side or make a matchup unless if the only way possible (make regional matches most far away possible to happen)

this is the result:
TL or FNC x NRG
LOUD x DRX
FNC or TL x EG
PRX x EDG

the only real draw here is between FNC and TL and OF COURSE MAKE THIS IN LIVE

i can make most fair bracket from any global event if you want (only LOCK IN don't need, Riot actually made right)

TL:DR
Riot sucks in make "draws"

if you wanna see how i came with this, i can explain in another post here (and i can make of the past tournaments aswell)

so, i was wondering If this is really the best matchups possible and i decided to think in the "logic way" of seeding and regional distribution

in the end i came with this bracket:
TL x NRG
LOUD x DRX
FNC x EG
PRX x EDG

as you can see, this bracket respects all the "rules" of same group teams in the opposite side and make the most fair distribution possible with all regions

TL:DR
Riot sucks in make "draws"
