funny americas playoff scenario

just thought this would be funny to share

if the following happens:

Week 7:
100T beats FUR
MIBR beats EG
SEN beats KRU
LOUD beats NRG
C9 beats LEV

Week 8:
SEN beats FUR
EG beats NRG
C9 beats KRU
LOUD beats LEV
MIBR beats 100T

the final standings would look like this:
LOUD 9-0
C9 8-1
NRG 4-5
FUR 4-5
LEV 4-5
100T 4-5
EG 4-5
SEN 4-5
MIBR 4-5
KRU 0-9

this would be a 7-way tie for the last 4 playoff spots, tiebreaks would be a nightmare but i'll try to work it out in a comment

edit: nvm, tiebreaks would literally just be map differential, then round differential, then apparently a tiebreaker bo1 match to break any further ties, since all 7 teams would have a 3-3 H2H record against each other

also before you say this is impossible, consider that C9 and LOUD are probably favored to win their last 2 games, and KRU is favored to lose their last 2 games, which only leaves 4 more results needed for this to happen (100T over FUR, MIBR over EG, SEN over FUR, EG over NRG), i'm not saying this is likely to happen but it realistically could

actually looking at it now, the first tiebreak would be H2H record but all teams would have the exact same H2H record (they all lost to LOUD and C9 and all won vs. KRU, so their H2H record would just remove those games and all 7 teams would have a 3-3 H2H record)

so the next tiebreaker would then just be map differential

never said it would, but it's not implausible

LOUD and C9 are both favored to win their last 2 matches, KRU is favored to lose their last 2 matches

the only other results that would need to happen would be 100T beats FUR, MIBR beats EG, SEN beats FUR, EG beats NRG

These 4 got less than 10% chances of happening
And yes it's a crazy stats shows the equal competitive level among the teams

of course, it's definitely not likely but very possible

the one thing you're forgetting is there no tiebreakers, it'll just be based off of h2h matchup and round differential.

h2h matchup would be 3-3 for all 7 teams, tiebreakers would be map differential first and then round differential afterwards, with the possibility of a tiebreaker bo1 match if 2 teams were still tied for a final spot

but thats just it. I've been watching countless riot events and there is 0 chance for a bo1 tiebreaker I assure u

there is 0 chance that 2 teams tied for the last spot will have the exact same map and round differential? the reason it's never happened is because it's very unlikely to happen, but with how many teams are near the middle of the pack rn it is definitely possible, i definitely still doubt it will happen but there's a chance
