Why teams have to try in Americas playoff final

Most likely Madrid is gonna start off with a group stage (to maximize matches per team), prob 2 groups of 4 with top 2 of each group advancing to playoff.

With that said the top team of Americas is gonna be put in the same group with the second team in EMEA, and the second team in Americas will be grouped with the top team in EMEA, this was the case in previous international events with group stages.

With FNC being the team in EMEA any team wanna avoid, and EMEA playoff finals ahead of Americas playoff finals, depending on FNC losing in the finals (EMEA second seed) or winning (EMEA first seed) theoretically Americas teams that reach the finals can choose to either compete for a win or sell for a lose in order to avoid FNC.

Of course the entire projection can be completely messed up if Val decide to do a draw system for groups.

My fault.

Masters Madrid is the first global event of the 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour. In Madrid, we’ll see how the top 8 teams from the Kickoff Tournaments stack up against one another and determine front runners in the season. Masters will commence with a Swiss Stage, followed by a four-team double-elimination bracket.

Since its a Swiss stage, I think there are two options:

1. One Group of 8, Each team plays ~3 games, Top 4 make it to playoffs
2. Two Groups of 4, Each team plays each other?, Top 2 in each group make it playoffs

Imagine if they made one group of eight and made every team play each other, that would be fuked
