no because you are. how are you saying its good that 2 teams out of PRX/C9/SEN/FNC go home instantly while teams like RRQ and FUT have a chance of placing higher?? makes no sense. double elim is so much better especially when who have the best teams in the world playing each other. also 4 team playoffs is so boring, i would rather watch an 8 team double elim bracket instead of 4. and don't go saying "oh its just locki in it isnt important" it definitely is if the prize is getting seeded straight to masters without having to fight for a spot, and having time to prep strats and vod review literally every other team in the world that you could go up against.
tldr: you stupid and bracket bad.

because i only care about who wins, u think those fluke teams will make it top 4 ur delusional, if ur the better team u will make it to top 4, what u don't understand is you will get ur safe assurance tournaments later in the seasons so let this high stakes on pass through bozo clown
also only the winner gets that prize right and the best team will win no matter the bracket right????

so you are saying that fnatic wouldnt have made it to playoffs if you switched their spot in the bracket with LOUD for example?? im pretty sure they would.

Compare CS Major format to this

Same time frame - 3 weeks (for CS in fact even slightly less)
Major has 2 Swiss systems and Knockout, in Swiss every team plays at least 3 games before possible elimination
This shit has only Knockout, where you might play only 1 game and go home immediately

the problem is that now we cant use any of the results except for who won to tell each other how each others teams/regions suck
32nd place might be better than second because 32nd also lost to the winner

The problem is having a team travel to Sao Paolo to lose first game and go back home. Plus having the possibility of the 2 best teams in the tournament to face each other first round

dats tuff but at least if the team that wins ends up going far, we can relatively tell where the losing team would place

Can we tho. Look at Masters 3 for example, GUILD beat OPTC, who placed 3rd, lost to PRX who placed 2nd and lost to FPX who won. Did anyone think GUILD was the 3rd best team that tournament? No, no one did that and I understand why and I understand that those things happening are unavoidable, but this is waaaaaay worse

ehh who cares they can prove themselves later, this is a high pressure go big or go home, this isn't the end all be all its entertaining but I guess I could be biased because I only care about region going in not a specific team
