EMEA format vs NA format

Why does a more competitive region like EMEA get less slots for playoffs than NA

"flair checks out"

Because EMEA has regional leagues

KR format better

emea system is better because it means bad teams like g2 don't qualify to playoffs

so that group stages have higher stakes

EMEA better because you’ll barely have seeding games plus 3rd team goes to Lower bracket

its better because every game matters and seeding more important

so group stage actually means something instead of just who don't go to playoffs
