It really isn't, you get more prep time and more film to analyze on the competition. For this tournament, the hate should be less towards the format and more towards the first seeds, minus Fnatic, that got here.

Like how did FNC have a closer game when they had:

• Less prep time than the other #1 seeds
• Hardest matchup out of the four swiss teams

To me, it looks like the lights were too bright for the other #1 seeds.

How did every team this weekend manage to make the first seed look like a punishment?
