what is with these lopsided groups why did they not just invite 2 more teams 💀💀💀
MENA problems
basically MENA isnt part of the format normally (which is also a bad thing, since it now means 2 of their teams are auto qualified for ascension)
and they were just inserted in here now
The system as a whole is a tad rough since group draw literally makes or breaks your year
e.g. CGN is eliminated for the year, only losing to BCF... twice
I hope they iterate over it next year and see a swiss system, cause the horrible group stage has been a plague for the entire year
I just dont see the advantage of playing what is essentially a single elim stage when its impossible to properly seed
3 teams that already made the ascension tourney playing in the group quals, broken system lol
