Nah that is a fucking banger, imagine loosing to the team you choose, the opportunities to trash talk are through the roof
How are they going to decide the order that the first seeds will pick?
Because picking first will be very advantageous.

As well as the oppotunities to make money
So like are they doing this just so people wouldn’t complain the playoffs matchup is not rigged or something?

People are gonna claim the swiss stage draw is rigged anyways
i wonder if there's gonna be same region lock or no. if i 3-0/2-0 the runner up/3rd team in my region id probably just pick them again. also china about to get hunted

The last one can’t even choose right?
i actually like this one. since people been saying the drawing lottery is rigged since its so inconsistent they try to fix it by doing this
orqn [#10]at this point they should hold elections
kkkk whoever gets most votes wins masters. best format since i don't have to watch any v*lorant.

round diff or map diff probably
USCK [#12]How is that going to work if two or more teams want the same team
maybe they're doing whoever gets the minimum win first and make it everybody playing against each others? (3 wins first seed)

im sad LOUD didnt make it, it seems to me that Masters Shanghai is going to be one of the best events so far.
that "pick your opponent" thing caught me off guard, cant wait to see it
The video implies 4 teams directly go to playoffs.
8man swiss is braindead

They're doing the draw live after the Americas final is over
okay but how are they picking the order the 4 teams go in picking though
if it's luck then that just feels more BS ngl

there wont be any china teams in playoffs apart from the first seed so nobody can pick them
Proof that Leo Faria reads VLR.. He took this idea from this thread https://www.vlr.gg/337633/vct-admins-and-organizers-come
Shanghai Masters will be fun, great idea!
