KC 2-1 SEN (2-0? not sure, need to see more from KC)
GENG 2-0 EDG (2-1 maybe?)
LOUD 2-0 FPX
TH 2-1 PRX (2-0 even, knowing the current state of PRX)

im sad for monyet but things aren't really working for him on PRX

His last season performance was superb at GE, I want him back on smokes tbh

Only 1 team for each of the 4 regions qualify trough points to Champions 2024 – ie. the one with the most of them (not counting teams already qualified through Stage 2 Playoffs)

The rest of the 3 teams of each region qualify through ending in top3 spots at Stage 2 Playoffs

16 teams total:

• 4x 1st spot (winners) Stage 2 Playoffs
• 4x 2nd spot Stage 2 Playoffs
• 4x 3rd spot Stage 2 Playoffs
• 4x Championship Points leaders (outside of the top3 spots for Stage 2 Playoffs)

Teams earn points the following ways:

• Winning Masters 1 Madrid (3 points straight)
• Winning Masters 2 Shanghai (3 points straight)
• Winning Stage 1 Playoffs x4 regions (3 points straight)
• Each victory during Masters/Stages matches (1 point/victory)
• Extra points (1 point for getting a bye at Stage Playoffs by finishing up top inside your group)

Last one is because some teams "miss" an opportunity to earn an extra point/victory for qualifying on a later stage at playoffs.

LEV with pancada for tex (mazino to initiator, C0M/kiNgg to sentinel/main anchor)

FURIA with pancada for liazzi

This is an honest take. You might take it or not. But I'm being serious here.

I do not think they would drop derke neither, that's why I said a good change would be putting him on a support role, there is nothing shameful with that. He has not the same impact on duelist anymore, FNC accepting this would be better for them. Mechanically gifted (and younger) entry duelist players constantly emerge for the T1 scene, there are tons of them.
I agree mini is needed, that's why I would like Boaster to coach with his help

nah, just baiting and messing around from time to time
makes me giggle a little bit

take it ligtly, nothing too serious

GENG with Zest for Lakia

explain your reasoning, please
100% serious

LOUD with Aspas for Qck (again)

FNC with Marteen/Miniboo for Derke (or for Boaster, Derke to support role, Chronicle IGLs and Boaster coaches alongside Mini)

love data, good stuff!

I'll keep an eye to it

excuses already prepared

you know whats coming

newer Leo in the making

1. KC
2. GENG
3. SEN
4. TH
5. LOUD
6. EDG
7. PRX
8. FPX

legends say he is mwzera himself

didn't complete my pickems but

KC 2-1 SEN (2-0? not sure, need to see more from KC)
GENG 2-0 EDG (2-1 maybe?)
LOUD 2-0 FPX
TH 2-1 PRX (2-0 even, knowing the current state of PRX)

seems the most reasonable predicts for me

I know bro
half spanish

just messing around xd

agree
people are going to forget that players like miniboo, riens or benjy are pretty recent (and young) upcomings to the T1 valo scene

give them the credit they deserve, they did well

this
EDG v PRX too if you want to see how PRX is falling from grace, sadly

You are in Spain lads, enjoy your siesta

did you know that Leo is, in fact, indian?

INDIA DOMINATING AGAIN MFs

up

we got deep state matters right here 💀

deez nuts

no, just read again

its really not that deep

triggered NA kids apparently, sleep well tonight

this matter is going deep into your head

u care way too much about it

being honest, it just look so pathetic to even care ab

NA v EMEA boring shit, cringe

lmao this guy still going at it

bet you are going to dream about it tonight

bruh why are you so dense about it? no need to go this deep for such an irrelevant shit like this lmao
nobody cares

yeah I agree, it's not a rant against the swiss-system tho
I'm pretty familiar with it since I play chess and MTG from time to time, and I'm glad riot impremented it

It's just about the randomness after the initial criteria

bailando

Phaeknicks

...

LEVER tier

100. Barca

it's exactly the same as NA claiming a player who plays for a a team who got organized better like KC did

u both being pathetic, let's be honest here

dude you are so dense lol

My critical thinking and opinion are completely based on other's preople opinions!! See what he said?! Im right, you don't.

even more so in an official competition where randomness should always be minimized, no matter the small of the detail

call me meticulous but I think it always matters

smells like rigged here...

Edit: just joking, guys

bruh thats reaching
don't bring FBlood police in here lol

at the end of the day, KC won super comfortably and would have won 10 maps in a row agains FPX anyway

they are the team to beat rn

any explanation from riot for this specific format choice?

logical, but that's not enough for me, I think
I don't like the randomness after the first criteria, should go into deeper criteria, not just the score

see #4

hmm if that's the case I don't quite like the randomness of it.

I though seedings (edit: pairings, not seedings) would be:
Score (1-0 v 1-0 and 0-1 v 0-1)
INTO
%MapsWon (higher v lower)
INTO
%RoundsWon (higher v lower)

thank mr delulu

agree, games been fun

(1)KC v SEN(4) makes sense
(2)GENG v EDG(3) makes sense

(5)TH v PRX(6) doesn't make sense (!)
(7)LOUD v FPX(8) doesn't make sense (!)

Shouldn't have been (5)TH v FPX(8) and (6)PRX v LOUD(7) instead??

how the fuck didn't they look convincing against FPX? its is not like NRG who got hard bilibilied LMAO

i just click heads

that true but, we don't really think yet what wo0t could bring to the table, other than him being mechanically cracked and young

patitek overcame expectations on him, no doubt.
but it's not like th doesn't have a player with a similar profile as patitek, like boo, for example

ON PAPER, th would be improved if wo0t was here.

lets keep an eye on them in the future
