RRQ 2 - 1 GE

GE ban Fracture (perma ban against RRQ imo)
RRQ ban Breeze (this is a perma ban for RRQ too)
GE pick Split (GE still looking pretty good on Split)
RRQ pick Ascent (i think RRQ on ascent still pretty good even without Yoru)
GE ban Pearl (they good but we don't know yet if RRQ would recover on Pearl)
RRQ ban Lotus (cause they still trying to figure out their comps)
Decider Map Haven (RRQ and GE looking pretty good for both in this map, that's why i decide the score would be 2-1, but for me RRQ was betterm last day against DFM they lost only because Jemkin starting late, but Patmen mastered Haven very well too)

Map pool wise, GE win, cause RRQ map pool wasn't that good for now, only Fracture + maybe Haven and Lotus (Icebox, Sunset and Corrode wasn't in the map pool yet, also Bind goes out), Pearl doesn't looking good for them in this season because of the Yoru nerf, Split is doesn't look very good, Breeze would be a perma ban map i think, and Ascent still a question mark even tho they good on this map.

but looking at last game for both team, i'm pretty sure RRQ can go to next round.

but let's just see, it's just a prediction anyway.

and my top 4 team that goes to Vietnam would be PRX, RRQ, i would say T1 and KRX, 3 of this 4 team would qualified for Masters London, and the best of them Qualified to EWC.

thank u bro
but i think i prefer this one https://imgur.com/cRizml9 cause this bracket still give the upperbracket team the advantage to qualified for the Finals and Masters 1.

while this https://imgur.com/ynhqApa bracket doesn't give the upperbracket team the advantage of being in the upperbracket cause they have to face the lower bracket team to Qualify to the Finals and Masters 1. (also the game between the UB finals winner and LB finals winner make the bracket only give 2 chance for the UB finals winner team, so this match doesn't count as triple elimination cause it's only have double elimination match)

well it's looks like it was just the VCT25 Kickoff format with extra Last Chance Bracket.
well 12 team wasn't the best for using a bracket format, 8 or 16 teams was better to use this kind of format cause if they are divided by 2 again and again, the final result can be 1, while 12 if divided by 2 again and again then the final result will be an awkward result like 3 or 1.5 (i'm so bad at english but i hope u got the point) so it always need an UB system to make the 1st bracket start from 8 teams in UB and 4 teams waiting in the UB Quarter finals.

well, RRQ is my number 1 team, i'm a kingdom, and i still believe this team can do it.
while Fnatic is my number 1 non-Pacific team i that a like, and i still believe them too.
so it's gonna be a hard thing to choose, but RRQ number one, sooo...
VIVA RRQ.

-RRQ is a slow starter team, RRQ might lose their 1st match.
-FNC have no momentum from Stage 2, FNC might lose this game.

+RRQ got a better momentum, in a Revenge mission, and they improve so much.
+FNC have better Mentality, and have better International Experience.

but, this two team would still Qualify to Playoffs from Group B in my Prediction, and i put them as top 6 teams in VCT Champions this year (not in tier list, but in final result)
cause in my tierlist, performance wise, RRQ in 5th, FNC in 8th (after Stage 2 in VCT Champions Paris)

it's gonna be RRQ 2-1 FNC.
after the RRQ lower Bracket run, i think they're ready for a a bigger stage.
while FNC looks a bit Struggle in Stage 2 Playoffs.

my map prediction would be like this.
RRQ ban Bind
FNC ban Ascent
RRQ pick Sunset
FNC pick Haven
RRQ ban Lotus
FNC ban Abyss
Decider map Corrode

RRQ is doesn't have momentum to play in Bind (they're 0% winrate in Stage 2), so of course they will ban Bind, and also banning Ascent (cause they literally still finding the best Tejo replacement), while they got momentum for the other 4 maps like Sunset, Corrode, Haven, and Lotus. i don't know about the Abyss so i'll put it 50/50 maps for them.

while FNC doesn't have any momentum to play in Sunset (they only win 2 times, and it's in EWC against KC and TH, one with Overtime and one Dominant) and RRQ are strong in this map so they will ban Sunset, and also banning Abyss cause it's still 50/50 for them, but they still got Bind, Corrode, Haven, and Lotus. but now they 50/50 on Ascent.

these two team have a kinda similar map pools, like Icebox, Corrode, Haven, and Split. RRQ got a better Sunset, while FNC got a better Fracture.
(Icebox, Fracture, Pearl, Breeze, and Split was not in this VCT Champions maps rotation.)
