You guys know that the results after the top 4 is determined don’t count right?
It’s a seeding match

both teams were trying. Xset won fair and square, see you at grand finals hopefully @xset
0_AwayFromKindness [#5]Any idea if there is a certain pattern that the seeding happens?
wdym by that?
PrTsty [#7]wdym by that?
The team which comes first is gonna face the team that comes last in the double elim something like that or is it completely random?

XSET and 100T owned the qualifier seeding games last time also
And flopped (XSET went out in groups, 100T just played worse smh) in the actual qualifier for Iceland
100 Thieves and XSET both normally try, even during seeding matches. Sentinels and Envy on the other hand...

just by places, you get seed 1,2,3,4 after that in the second qualifier winner gets 5 then 6,7,8
normal seed bracket
1v8
4v5
2v7
3v6
so the first in this qualifier meets the first of the next in the semi finals if both win
Seeding matters a ton. Idky in NA teams just don't try. Like ur gonna get like the best teams in ur first game if u just give up. It's not a good mentality. Of course you shouldn't reveal strats and shit. But there is an incentive to try. So it kinda does show at least a bit of how good a team is.

I really dont understand why teams like Sen dont try, like its money and seeding and they have a lot of prep time. I think this time they will try there is literally 5 weeks until challengers finals

next matches in 5 weeks so screw strats, also kayo will shake up the meta. i think this time around every one is trying, usually they dont

Who do you think will be the next 4 teams that will join in NA and EU?
0_AwayFromKindness [#15]Who do you think will be the next 4 teams that will join in NA and EU?
only 2 for EU btw

Here's a hot take. GENG and ABX are for sure. And there are 4 teams that I think can get the two next Soniqs(yes I actually believe they could), C9, V1, T1.
And for EU. The two next teams. I want to say will be BDS and Fnatic or Team Finest. But this is a shit take. It'll prob just be like Liquid and Fnatic unless Heretics pulls some random shit out of their ass.
100T tries in seeding matches. it worked out for them in stage 2 they ended up against ABX which was an easy W for them back then

t1 pros dont care about prize pool
Glycoroldas [#21]Seeding matters a lot more for EMEA than for NA to be honest
i think higher seeds in EMEA get a bye in challengers playoffs, not for NA
mattgg2015 [#20]t1 pros dont care about prize pool
well in that case riot could make champions be for 2000 dollars because all they care about is the win. right?
i feel like seeding doesn't matter for the first set of challengers cause like u don't know who ur gonna play. in the second set of challengers it matters cause u know what teams u would be playing against,.
mattgg2015 [#22]i think higher seeds in EMEA get a bye in challengers playoffs, not for NA
yeah my point exactly. Acend, G2, SMB(TR superteam) and Gambit got an automatic BYE for round 2 in upper brackets of EMEA tournament. In NA, however, no team is getting an automatic BYE.
