any team can... just need to beat them

yes, one of KRU/C9 will def eliminated and the other need to place 4th, which then they wont have enough points to qualify

for you

would it makes you happy if I do one for EMEA too?

yeahh same, i dont really want them in champs

sed :((
trying to not be a toxic vlr user, just trying to have fun and giving info

Scenario 1: SEN beats G2 (champs points in bracket)
KRU (7) vs C9 (6) ----------> LEV (12) vs ......
G2 (9) vs 100T (11) ------> SEN (14) vs ......

Scenario 2: G2 beats SEN
KRU (7) vs C9 (6) -----------> LEV (12) vs ......
SEN (12) vs 100T (11) ----> G2 (11) vs ......

LEV - already qualified to champs at least by points (only lost to C9 in stage 1)
SEN - only way to not qualify to champs if lost elimination in Scenario 2, and LEV lost twice (100T, G2, KRU/C9 qualify by top 3, LEV by points)
G2 - ways to not qualify
1) in Scenario 1, lost elimination and KRU/C9 get top 3
2) in Scenario 2, lost twice (LEV, KRU/C9, SEN/100T by top 3, 100T/SEN by points)
100T - ways to not qualify
1) in Scenario 1, 100T loses elimination and LEV/SEN qualify by points
2) in Scenario 2, 100T loses elimination and LEV/SEN qualify by points
3) in Scenario 2, 100T wins elimination and then loses twice (G2, KRU/C9, LEV by top 3, SEN by points)
KRU/C9 - either eliminated or need to qualify by top 3

i think so..... ;-;

100T (6th seed) against SEN/G2 (3rd seed)
KRU (4th seed) against C9 (5th seed)

SEN vs G2 is a match to determine 2nd and 3rd seed

Not everything is American based....

double elim guarantees better ranking... top 8, top 6, top 4, 3, 2, champion instead of single elims top 8, top 4, 2, 1 so better reward distribution

also, it's 8 teams only, why not prolong the tournament, istg you guys complain for too few matches and too many matches at the same time, PICK YOUR SIDES!

talon won h2h against ts during regular season (stage 1)

need someone for Malaysia... not me tho

me want

i believe if you want to suggest a country, might as well suggest the actual venue/stadium they will play in

you can only have so much....

1. too many tournaments will make it less special for winning them
2. there are 4 international leagues, every league deserves their screen time (if not, what the point)
3. and no, saying some leagues are not worthy or some are better to prioritize is also wrong

so PRX 1st, TS 2nd, DRX 3rd, GENG points.... seems accurate enough

we're complaining about regular season being bad for splitting into two stages and want more matches for teams...
but now we want less matches for CHAMPIONS??? THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS VCT EVENT OF THE YEAR???
very interesting......

yeah but tbf it's just one extra point, cuz if you win two matches in playoffs, you're basically in top 3 already (exception to the 1st and 2nd seed's bye, where they also got extra point, simulating a win in the single elim)

english or spanish?

because both EDG and FPX are 1st and 2nd seed, so one of them must qualify as top 3, and the other will at least have enough champs points to qualify also, since no team can catch up to their points

Now it's a game of stamina.. whoever can hold on wins

With the current champs points and playoffs seed, there will be at least 1 Korean team and 2 SEA teams, so cannot send all 4 SEA teams to champs unfortunately

PRX has more points, check liquipedia, vlr didn't update the points

FNC wins against TL
VIT wins against KC
GX wins against FUT
KOI wins against TH
M8 wins against NAVI

And we have 7 teams end with 4-6 record, gonna be a hell of a tiebreaker there XD imagine tho

it's their way of counterargue or being petty for losing... let them kids be

h2h is better format, wdym?????

bro asked for final score... why everyone gave the winner?

wait, which event? you do realize qualifying for playoffs doesn't guarantee a spot in masters/champs, right?

so final week of regular is only for seeding, right? cuz we have our teams already then

because the winner gets at least 5-5 and the loser gets at most 5-5... which tiebreaker rules favors the winner by h2h win

your optimism is just what we needed... in the asylum :)

ummm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there's EG vs 100T tomorrow... so one of them gonna have 1 extra win and at least 5-5 record

NRG officially out of playoffs

can never tied, cuz PRX has 16 while GENG's 15... if they tied at 16, meaning GENG wins against RRQ, facing PRX, which either team can win and qualify by top 3 or lose twice and qualify by points

since PRX is 1st seed going into playoffs, so they either top 3, or they stayed at 16 points by losing twice where GENG qualifies through top 3 or just eliminated entirely by RRQ amassing only 15 points

PRX has the most points right now at 16 against GENG's 15

Why? Because KRÜ won against 100T and EG from stage 1, and there's 100T vs EG match later so one of them can get maximum 5-5 against KRÜ minimum 5-5...

KRÜ wins the tiebreaker, so they qualify to playoffs... :((((

I think the team would really improve a superstar like yay

bro then they made a fcking perfect cover for match fixing allegation!

imagine this: PRX built themselves as this hyper aggressive, w-key pushing, all aim no brain team. so if they need to match fix, they can just w-key their way to lose a couple matches and tell the press that this is just their Wgaming style and they got antistratted.

Wouldn't that be a fcking giant coincidence?!?!?!?

and PRX can do the funniest thing ever... by not getting top 3 so they qualified by points and not letting GENG to champs

so they're the best team in NA >>>>>

i would argue they're smart to pick... control what you can, right?

Imagine the animation stays between rounds....

Diabolical

What if the weapon's finisher animation is the kill animation, as in the animation pops up on every kill?

I'm high rn. I think.

EDIT: what would be the worst kill animation? Since most animations dissipate, I'm thinking of some that still there, like champs animation

Bruhhh i just checked and no 4+ teams tiebreaker for CN?? That's bad... I guess Nova has to pay AG then so they play good

Even if they lose, there will be at least 4 teams with 4-6 record and tiebreaker rules for 4+ teams is first by map differential

JDG would have at worst -2 map diff while the rest had at best -3 and below... so JDG qualifies

Wondering why it didn't update yet

a deathmatch featuring the head coach

bro cooked, burnt to ashes even
if you want earlier grabbed, or lack thereof, championship points to actually affect the last season playoffs before champs, just make the point doubles in later stages...
OR, introduce bonus championship points such as +1 for 2-0 win, +1 for at least -10 round differential when lost, etc...

touche

someone pointed out this in vct chat just now, it's true?!?!?
edit: lmao it's fake... sheeshhh

1. 100T wins against EG
2. LOUD wins against 100T
3. Furia wins all matches from now
4. MIBR wins all matches except against Furia
5. NRG loses all matches

And MAYBE Furia will be in playoffs?????? Idk about the H2H tiebreaker rules

The performance coach is for psychological/player performance, not match performance...

Sorry for not clearing that out
