MADRID FORMAT EXPLAINED

Yearp

are they gonna draw it live

Im just about to ask that, hope they make a live draw

no, its a thing in pretty much all big esports

nah it’s not that hard to understand. It’s basically the teams who came first in kickoffs in each region faces the 2nd place team in kickoffs in each region , they can’t face the teams in the same region. The teams needs two wins to make it through to playoffs

tbh its just live seeding as the event goes on. you can search up the cs2 copenhagen major rmrs on hltv to see how it works if it doesn't make sense and you can do pickems to see how games change depending on who wins

wait are riot doing live seeding for the swiss format im not watching the video linked

I'll try explaining:
Everyone starts with 0-0 win/loss, and kickoff winners will fight against runner ups from other region (e.g. SEN v PRX)

4 teams that win this first round will go to 1-0 round and fight amongst one of themselves and vice versa for 0-1 teams.

Then:

2 Teams that win 1-0 round will have 2 wins and qualify to playoff
2 Teams that lose 0-1 round will be eliminated for 2 losses.
2 teams that win first round then lose the second, or 2 teams that lose then win (hence 4 teams with 1-1 win/loss) will then fight one of each other. 2 teams that win this will have 2-1 record and qualify, while 2 teams that lose will have 1-2 record and eliminated.

nah if they don't do live draw the tournament is actually rigged

The problem is they can't just go live to do a draw if they were gonna do it they would've done it last stream of Americas

teams go 0-2 in every event this is not new
