EMEA finals

Does anybody know how seeding works and how teams will placed into the two groups?

i think teams with the highest seed won't be on the same group

Most likely FPX / Liquid on one group and Guild / Fnatic on another. Cuz FPX won 1st Chal. and Liquid lost 2nd Chal., meaning that FPX is 1st seed and Liquid is 4th seed.

my guess
Group A:
Guild Vs Gambit
Futbolist Vs Liquid

Group B:
FPX Vs BBL
Fnatic Vs Oxygen

Yes, but who determines what seed1 TR is compared to seed2/3 EU or seed1 CIS etc etc

Guild Vs Gambit
Futbolist Vs Liquid

Group B:
FPX Vs BBL
Fnatic Vs Oxygen

FPX and Fnatic in the same group? no way

Just change Guild for FPX on group A and that's it

yes but then seedwise the other group wouldnt make sense. It would have seed1 TR, seed1 EU and seed1 CIS.

fnatic and fpx won't be in the same group for sure

fnatic and fpx won't be in the same group for sure

its not impossible they are seed1 and seed3.

maybe i should swap fnatic with liquid?

I think is gonna be like this:

Group A:
FPX x BBL
Gambit x Team Liquid

Group B:
Fnatic x Oxygen
Futbolist x Guild

i guess it is going to be seed 1 v seed 4 and seed 2 v seed 3, wouldn't make sense otherwise

It'll depend on how they do it tbh. There'll probably be a group draw I'm guessing, considering there's no way to say how good one region is from the other. Or, if they do it EU > TR > CIS by the first seed, they would do 1. FPX, 2. FUT, 3. Gambit, 4. Guild, 5. OXY, 6. FNC, 7. BBL, 8. LQ.
Or, if they do it without seeding and just EU > TR > CIS it might be 1. FPX, 2. Guild, 3. FNC, 4. LQ, 5. FUT, 6. OXY, 7. BBL, 8. Gambit.
Or, if they do it based on relative strength it'll be a lot different and hard to say.
If someone knows where to find the rulebook that would be helpful!

but how would you add the other 4 seeds of CIS and TUR?

i think it will be

group A :
EU chall1
EU Chall 2
TR Chall1
CIS Chall

Group B
EU chall1
EU Chall 2
TR Chall1
TR Chall2
