Empire :3 route to champs

Option #1: Qualify as 1st seed (most likely cuz we're the goats) :3
We will qualify this way under the "North America: Stage 2" seed by winning playoffs :3
will be a hard run starting in the lower bracket but we got itt!!!!! <333

Option #2: SRG take 1st seed, we qualify to LCQ
LCQ qualification is based on Circuit points (DO NOT TRUST https://www.vlr.gg/gc-2025/standings USE https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2025/Game_Changers/Circuit_Points/North_America INSTEAD)
For this to happen, we will need to do well enough to gain enough points to be at the top after SRG, and we need our competition to lose out on points. Points go like this:
1st: N/A
2nd: 8 points
3rd: 7 points
4th: 5 points
5th-6th: 3 points
7th-8th: 2 points.
We are currently 5th in points with 2 points from stage 1 and 2 points so far in stage 2, for a total of 4.
Above us are:
100T GC with 5
GHOST with 6
Wadadda with 7.
SRG with 9.
Assuming we place 2nd, we will end up with 10 points. I could not find how tiebreakers work, so I will be assuming h2h.
Wadadda beats us in h2h, so we need them to place 5th-6th, losing both of their following games, to make it in through LCQ.
We have not played ghost yet, but we would need them to place 5th-6th or 7th-8th. We need a team to lose in it's 5th-6th spot tho, so it can only make 7th-8th OR 4th, where we win the tiebreaker in someway.
100T GC beats us h2h, so we need them to place 5th-6th as well.
SO FOR THIS PATH:
EMPIRE :3 NEEDS TO WIN EVERY GAME EXCEPT THE GRAND FINAL
WADADDA NEEDS TO LOSE https://www.vlr.gg/545622/yfp-x-vs-wadadaa-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-ubsf and https://www.vlr.gg/545627/tbd-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-lr2
100T GC NEEDS TO LOSE https://www.vlr.gg/545621/shopify-rebellion-gold-vs-100-thieves-gc-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-ubsf and https://www.vlr.gg/545628/tbd-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-lr2
SRG NEEDS TO WIN THE GRAND FINAL
GHOST EITHER NEED TO LOSE https://www.vlr.gg/545625/blue-otter-gc-vs-ghost-gaming-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-lr1 or https://www.vlr.gg/545629/tbd-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-lr3 BUT CANNOT LOSE https://www.vlr.gg/545627/tbd-game-changers-2025-north-america-stage-2-lr2

so basically we gotta lock in :3

not reading all of that but yeah they got it

If there's a will there's a way. I believe.

UPDATE: Liquepedia is wrong about YFP X's points I believe, they have the same as us so far (but have a higher guaranteed minimum finish), but because #2 requires Empire :3 2nd and SRG 1st, we will be above YFP X in points regardless of where they place.

#:3WIN

MATCH RESULTS WE WANT TODAY FOR #2:
SRG BEAT 100T (required for #2)
YFP X BEAT WADADDA (required for #2)
BLUE OTTER BEAT GHOST (not required but makes #2 easier)
EMPIRE :3 BEAT KIRI MAGENTA (REQUIRED FOR EVERYTHING)

yea yall are cooked
