First and Second place having champs points is redundant right?
Seed 1: Stage 2 Playoffs Champion
Seed 2: Stage 2 Playoffs Runner-Up
Seed 3: Most Points earned by team who does NOT finish top 2 in Playoffs
Seed 4: 2nd Most points "" ""
Correct so in Stage 2 the Playoffs Champ and Playoffs Runner-Up getting 7 and 5 Champ points is redundant.
yeah pretty much useless at that point, dont know how they could address that tho
You could give 3rd and 4th, 7 and 5 points instead. But then it would make stage 2 way more important than stage 1 so not sure they would want that.
although liquipedia says they get points they also show they just auto qual https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2025/Championship_Points/Americas
they only matter for ascension teams
for example let’s say m8 are 8th in points and kc is right behind them
if kc wins stage 2, they get the 7 points and overtake m8, and m8 get relegated
Sorry I had to re read what you meant, coz ye being 8th matters to ascension teams I get it now.
That's exactly why G2 doesn't have to do anything. I'd afk irl if I was in that team.
