everyones mad that they are allowing regional matchups when its always been this way, we just got crazy unlucky with 4 regional matchps

yes but people are saying why is it allowed like its new, its always been allowed
everyone knows it was always a thing... but riot has to do something against it
Nah, they have to be allowed in second round of swiss, otherwise there's literally no point to using swiss and they should just go back to 4 team double elim groups with regions separated.
why do they have to be allowed? There can still be different match ups without the regional one's
Like in lowers it could be either xlg ge and drg fs or xlg fs and drg ge, same in uppers
Why saying "why is it allowed" would imply we didnt knew it was always the case ?
I think people just want them to change the rules and it has nothing to do with any knowledge of previous events
One wasn't even possible, we had 2 americas and 2 emea teams in the 1-0 and then 2 chinese and 2 apac teams in the 0-1... that means 1 regional matchup either side would automatically result in 2
nobody has been upset before because the rule didn't matter we'd get 1/2 regionals max
4 is crazy and ruins the point of an international event
idk lwk its more the stakes of internationals that matters to me
i personally dont care as long as its mostly non regional matchups
idk if it’s just me but i’m actually quite happy with the draw… at least for the 1-0 games
underrated bright side is that we'll get one of every region in the 1-1 games (cn technically has upset potential ig)
or maybe they're trying their best to give apac and cn a chance to qualify for more viewership
everyones mad just like how people were mad when
there were regional match ups before. it just mattered less because it was only a game or two. disliking regional matchups for the swiss stage isnt new
Another point why this Swiss looks so ass is because all of these teams are so boring to neutrals that make these matchups underwhelming. I mean Toronto last year we used to get liquid, heretics, geng, prx in Swiss
