Stop crying and complaining, Riot is doing everything possible to deliver us a first event of high quality and in LAN right after a global pandemic, we will appreciate the confrontations that are to come and thank you. Four months from now there will be another and bigger event in Berlin.

But the favored ones are always EU and NA and we never cry, when we got lucky once in a draw you guys are crying, to win you have to be the best team in the tournament

TL and SEN are already on round 2. Even if they lose their respective matches, they would go to the second round lower bracket. If that is not favored, tell me what it is.

Both VKS and SHK get to first round lower if they lose their matches. The unfairness go to FNC and V1 as the second seed BR has a game advantage if they win against Nuturn. But if they all lose their opening matches, they will face of againts each other on round 1 lower. I mean pls go and see the brackets before speaking.

Not Brazilian, but it's fine IMO with the circumstances. This isn't going to be the format going forward as we are going to 16 teams. It's a one time thing. It's a learning experience for everyone. Have fun, enjoy yourself no matter the results. We are getting an international LAN after 18+ months of a pandemic! This is a time for celebration, not to be negative about a format that while isn't the greatest, is the best we can expect with 10 teams and having a week to do it without massive player exhaustion. Would it be nice to have the event longer than a week? Absolutely, but with the pandemic still on, we don't get those pleasures. And we can't really compare to MSI, one of LoL's biggest events after not having one last year.

If this was the format going forward I would understand being a little upset. But for Master 3 we get 16 teams. Making a format like this uneeded.

I think it was pool 2 was rigged. They want to get NA vs EU as soon as possible.

i mean i think it’s kinda unfair that x10, sharks, VKS and nuturn automatically get 8th or better and at least 175 circuit points while everyone else could possibly get 150. nuturn could go out in 4 13-0 losses and still be 7th-8th, shouldn’t the worst team in the bracket be getting the least amount of points??

That's not right. The 2 teams that will end up 8th or higher no matter what are TL and SEN. NU, VKS, SHK and x10 go to first round lower bracket if they lose againts KRU/FNC and V1/CR

if the bracket works the same as the SEA one, then losers of SEN/FNC and TL/V1 go to R1 and losers of VK/X10 and SH/NU go to R2, but we haven't had official confirmation of which way it will work. I agree that the one u listed would be more fair

pppl say X is a major region y is a minor region, some say nothing can be judged till international comp, major/minor can be based off of the viewership and so... but ONLY the second seed from the major region need to actually play the extra game br got "lucky" somewhat but yeah it's pretty fair.

If seeding matters this much then it has to be disclosed before so teams can try in the Finals of Challengers for major regions.
