Is this whole final 8 bracket kinda useless since all of these top 8 teams are going to be playing each other again in a week in a "main tournament" or is there something else to it?

Seeding. Also why are you here I thought you got banned. I mean welcome back but please don't go back to trolling it's just annoying at this point.

I did nothing wrong in the first place

trolling is ingrained in esports culture. if it REALLY annoys you, dont engage on esports forums. You can't expect people to be banned for baiting you. Just 0/8 and move on.

1st off it doesn't annoy me that much it just isn't necessary and I would rather not have to deal with trolls, specifically having to explain to new people that he is just a troll since he pisses off a bunch of people and it's just annoying to a lot of people at this point. 2nd: he was banned because he said if a specific result didn't happen that the admins should ban him, which they did but now he has returned after multiple alt accounts.

I'd rather see two tier 2 teams and hope for a close match, than one tier 1 and one tier 2 team, you feel me
First_Man_On_Mars [#8]I'd rather see two tier 2 teams and hope for a close match, than one tier 1 and one tier 2 team, you feel me
Yeah, if this were just two Tier 1 teams, they literally would just throw because they know they'll play against each other (or a similar opponent) in the main event, which will be much more important than this silly seeding bracket NSG likes doing.

0/8
Why is Nerd St the only organiser that demands teams play for seeding? Every other region stops at qualifying (Ro.8). It's clear seeding doesn't matter given the outcome of First Strike. It's unfair to the players and audience, it's not worth using real tactics and showing your hand which isn't good viewership either given this is a TACTICAL FPS.

as if NSG decides that stuff lol - it's Riot Regions that decide the format of the tournaments, then the TO organize them

you have to explain to people that he is a troll what are you the website moderator if you think hes annoying then just ignore him

bruh it's not that he's a troll in fact that doesn't matter raka made a bet that lg wouldn't get to 10 against Sen, and lg won the match so he made an ass of himself and he said he was capping backing out on his bet like a pussy until he got banned. that's not being a troll that's being a clown, the fact that he made alt accounts is so pathetic tho

Totally useless. The teams are all very good, NA is stacked AF, seeding doesn't really matter much.

Agreed. Even more dumb when the top 8 are all very good teams like in NA, the most stacked Region. If it was Japan or Korea with only 2 good teams I would've understood that decision.
idk [#12]as if NSG decides that stuff lol - it's Riot Regions that decide the format of the tournaments, then the TO organize them
NSG is the one that decides it, first of all they were hired by riot as the tourney organizer, and on top of that they tweeted out that they will be fixing the format. So idk where you got the idea that Riot is the one that made the format for this Qualifier
arnav [#29]imt talent scout needs a raise ngl
