wtf is this bullshit, why tf is the most important tournament of the year for tier 2 APAC scene will be decided in a single elim playoff bracket???
we want the best team out of the VCLs to play in the Pacific League, like the single elim feels like teams can fluke out a win into the league man idk I don't really like this
im agree w you, maybe in Lock//In is all good, its the first event of the years and its like an introduction.
but on a bo1 everyone can win, maybe they have a better map and its unlucky for the other team, maybe bc they use to permaban that map. OR just lucky and 1 from the other team chokes and can't recover bc its only 1 game, idk i dont like the idea too much...

why tf do they use single elim in Pacific and EMEA, but not on Americas?
hanafuuji [#4]why tf do they use single elim in Pacific and EMEA, but not on Americas?
thats a really nice question i wish i knew it
hanafuuji [#14]it's most likely due to logistics reasons
Americas only has 4 VCLs, while EMEA and PACIFIC had a fuck ton of VCLs, that's why AMERICAS can afford of being fancy with their format
yeah thats the only problem of being EMEA and not only EU, we have 1 vcl for each country (spain, france, germany) and then you add the egipt vcl's thats a lot of tournaments
KssS [#12]wtf single elim playoffs rito L but, then again only 1 can qualify so does it really matter?
I mean guess it doesn't really matter even if the top 2 teams are facing in the quarters, because we only need one team after all, but the grand final will be best of five, I feel like teams can fluke out best of 3s as we see many times in the franchise leagues, amd the double elim will at least make sure that the top 1 and top 2 to duke it out in bo5 grand finals to decide which team will play inthe league
alice_ [#18]ig its for reducing costs
flying out 10 teams + hotel for more days might be too much for rito
No shot rito pacific cant afford that they have leg of legen
jackb2016 [#17]Single elim decides the best team tho
#16 but the more that I think about it, I guess it's not that bad? idk I'm still conflicted just hoping for a banger tournament
hanafuuji [#21]#16 but the more that I think about it, I guess it's not that bad? idk I'm still conflicted just hoping for a banger tournament
means theres still hope for indo team, if its double elim theyre fucked😭
Cresp [#20]No shot rito pacific cant afford that they have leg of legen
we are in recession, rito included
solsolid [#26]we are in recession, rito included
As in thailand or the entire pacific region? Because if only thailand then that would make it more affordable. Im not caught up with asia’s economy my classes mostly reference european american and dominican monetary policy.

i mean if it was to decide 2 best teams, then single elim is bad yeah, but just one team, it is good
Domination [#23]It means the risk is very high, no room for mistakes and no second chances🗿 may be fluke but sometimes double elim also gives fluke wins to a team that already lost🗿
actually based take 🗿

imagine GenG in single elim They will be in Tokyo already. If double elim GenG = 😅that why its bad
hanafuuji [#4]why tf do they use single elim in Pacific and EMEA, but not on Americas?
