Yes definitely, this is how group stage should've gone in my opinion:

Q Guild 4-1 (h2h vs Liquid)
Q Liquid 4-1
Q NAVI 2-3 (h2h vs M3C+BIG)
M3C 2-3
BIG 2-3
BBL 1-4 (BBL better in stage 1 Sadge)

Tiebreakers
In the event that two or more Teams are tied in the standings at the conclusion of the Regular Season, the tie will be broken by the following criteria:

1. Head-to-head match score
2. Head-to-head map differential
3. Head-to-head round differential
4. Overall map differential
5. Overall round differential

This is wrong

BBL > BIG - M3C qualify from h2h against NAVI and BBL, won against both.
BIG > BBL - BIG qualify from h2h map differential against M3C and NAVI (+1)

No they don't

BIG +1 (2-0 M3C, 1-2 NAVI)
NAVI +-0 (2-1 BIG, 1-2 M3C)
M3C -1 (0-2 BIG, 2-1 NAVI)
BIG qualify on h2h map differential if BIG win against BBL. Impossible for NAVI to qualify.

If BIG lose to BBL, M3C qualify because of h2h score against BBL & NAVI = 2-0 and 2-1

Reviving this thread after NAVI - GLD match, so many questions about Navi possible qualification. Which is no

yes, this game was only for both teams mentality really, Guild mental into playoffs & NAVI mental for LCQ

no, Explanation

NAVI-GLD is pointless game, just for both teams mental

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK 11-13

ggs :(

no it's just further evidence that you need constant CPR as a guild fan

going undefeated would be a massive achievement :(

also revenge from stage 1, 3-0 to 3-2

FKS 2-1 OGLU

OGLU take first map and FKS win map 2 and 3

what is happening rn.

8-2 to 11-11

W thread

No, the first playoff round for both Guild and Fnatic is a potential qualification

UB Finals is guaranteed top 3

Bruh do you hate me, triple shit takes in replies in the past 24 hours or something

Nah Guild would never drop Sayf

-Russ +nAts would make GLD #1 EMEA

If he were to move teams, probably G2
Signing: Spirit (Astralis honorable mention, would be super cool)

W fps enjoyer
W friend

Good morning Guild, thanks for the heart attack wtf
I swear being a Guild fan needs constant copium

First lose map pick 7-13, then go 8-11 in map 2 and then win 13-11. And now 8-2

Possible Spirit signing?
Astralis valorant entry would be sick

?? how

ur take is ugly + ratio

W acend fan
W swede

Acend smooth lower bracket run after beating BIG in first round and going 1-2 in a really close series against GLD.

FNC, GLD, ACE go to Copenhagen

NAVI - GLD doesn't matter at all, the last qualification is either BIG or M3C.

BBL win tomorrow -> M3C qualify (h2h win against BBL OR h2h win against both BBL and NAVI, doesn't matter if NAVI is included)
BIG win tomorrow -> BIG qualify (h2h win against M3C OR h2h map diff against M3C & NAVI, doesn't matter if NAVI is included)

the copium is that both Fnatic and Guild will both get 6-0 to qualify. mainly concerned for Guild

if navi had trexx or m3c player instead of dinkzj.. probably t1 intl

navi has heavy LCQ potential

Same on liquipedia

thank u brotha <3

it could maybe be pre-planned to have each group decided on one day each? i like that system actually

i take everything back. that's weird though

?????

Fnatic 🤝 Guild

• going undefeated in groups
• qualifying to masters in first playoffs round
• willing to prove themselves internationally (after FNC M1 + Guild first LAN)

MASSIVE COPIUM LEVELS

Guild Haven looked great in stage 1, hoping that continues

NAVI 7-5 GLD at halftime, Guild win map 13-9

map 3 Haven now, predictions?

I definitely wouldn't say they're just playing for fun

Explanation

Explanation

No because head to head 2-1, Guild already won group no matter what

Explanation

This group stage should've gone something like this:

Guild 4-1 (h2h vs Liquid)
Liquid 4-1
NAVI 2-3 (h2h qualification)
M3C 2-3
BIG 2-3
BBL 1-4 (BBL better in stage 1 Sadge)

Never said Navi was worse than M3C did I? I only said that they deserved playoffs

Navi deserved to qualify from groups. All their games have been super close, always winning 2-1 or losing 1-2. People are heavily sleeping on them, I’m not surprised that they’re having this performance against Guild

Easy for C9A

Yes exactly. Some people were confused on how BBL/NAVI were out, this thread is mainly an explanation for that

As fun as this sounds it’ll likely never happen in groups of 6, there’s too many criterias to decide :(

M3C qualify if BIG lose to BBL tomorrow.
BIG qualify if BIG beat BBL tomorrow.

Basically:

If GLD > NAVI and BBL > BIG - M3C qualify from h2h against BBL.

If GLD > NAVI and BIG > BBL - BIG qualify from h2h against M3C.

If NAVI > GLD and BBL > BIG - M3C qualify from h2h against NAVI and BBL, won against both.

If NAVI > GLD and BIG > BBL - BIG qualify from h2h map differential against M3C and NAVI (+1)

yes
