Going 0-2 vs CIS team is pretty bad indeed.

But good for this tournament stage. Makes things much more spicy.

Doesn't really change anything, just more lul NA and CIS being EU 4th seed jokes than usual.

Well Splyce just lost too lol, but they still have a chance at first seed. One loss isn't too bad I guess, these are supposed to be top teams in other regions after all.

Does UOL bot laner know how to play ADC?

I really feel like if Damonte was playing well Clutch would have 4-0 it’s hard to say if it’s nerves or just not playing vs na opponents but he played really bad 3 of 4 games and the one was on Lissandra duty into a counter match up


I also have mad questions about their draft strategy but it isn’t deciding factor in any of the games so I’ll drop it for now

Who the fuck came up with these ridiculous tie breaker rules? So UoL beats the higher seed team in "regular" play but clutch are the ones who get to sit out the first match? Mammoth is just out now despite the fact that two teams will be 2-3? What kind of shit is that? Where is mammoth's chance to beat clutch? Not to mention the super unfortunate scenario if UoL lose to clutch here and end up in second despite having a hypothetical 2-1 over them.

rules are fine imo, providing that their main goal is to prevent endless tiebreaks, but to be decided in the least amount of games. Also the rules are known in advance so every team can take them into consideration. They could've favored mammoth, but unluckily for them, they didnt

there's no way to take "oh fuck we're not a major region" into consideration. If you're going to have bo1s you need to accept that a flaw in your format is that you could potentially have endless tiebreakers to actually break your ties, and not just arbitrarily make matches count more. Now we have Clutch, whos in first despite being 1-2 with UoL, and UoL in second who was 1-2 with Mammoth.

Either go to boX>1 and tiebreak by score, or accept you have the potential to tie break 'forever'. Its absolutely ridiculous that Mammoth got eliminated solely because Clutch is a major region team so they got to sit out, despite Clutch having lost to the lower seeded team in regular play.

Riot has the resources to have them continue playing, casted/streamed or not, so the argument of having 'forever' tie breakers is absurd. Unless they seriously don't have 10 league capable spare PCs in their LEC studio, which would be hilariously incompetent

You keep tying in major region as if the rule was implemented at the last minute specifically to help Clutch

It's not a PC thing, it's a viewer thing, now I know you are going to say MORE PLAYOFF GAMES IS GOOD FOR THE FANS. But this just turns out not to be true, viewers will definately SAY that this is what they want, but reality is much different, time and time again it's been proven by the viewer stats there is such a thing as too many games in a day. And ultimately all Esports formats are tailored to maximize these stats.

A stupid rule made X years ago is still a stupid rule. And it shouldn't be a viewer thing. It should be a competitive integrity of the tournament thing. Hell you could fire up Riotgames2 and had commentary-less tiebreakers happening all throughout tomorrows broadcast. Or not stream them at all and just have the Riot account live tweet. Would take up marginally more resources than they're currently taking up, and actually playing threw tie breakers is better than this nonsense. Arbitrarily cutting this group short when the difference between 1st and 2nd is literally life and death in worlds just sucks. Obviously no team from this group is gonna win the whole thing, but Mammoth was done dirty and Clutch got a free pass

Also I'd like to point out that we've literally never had a 3 way tie in play ins since Worlds switched to this format

wait wait, the elimination had nothing to do with major regions, but with the length of the games each team won. Clutch's two wins were the shortest, thats why they were seeded as 1st and the other two had to play an elimination game and then the winner to play with Clutch for 1st and 2nd seed. If Mammoth had the lowest times in their wins, then clutch and uol would have played for elimination and mammoth in the final. The rule for tiebreaks is around the wins length, nothing to do with regions, unless I did not understand and you meant something else

As a reminder, we had the same tiebreaker scenario in Words 2017 with the 2-4 gridlock between IMT, FNC, and GAM in Group B.

M2 is right, the deciding factor was game time. Also, this is only play ins so it's in the interest of everyone to keep it short, thus rules are harsh. The tiebreaker means two teams play 3 games and one team 4 games in one day, that's quite a lot of games. Even more would be punishing those teams that make it to the main tournament.

why are the commentators praising akali's and vladimir plays in RYL vs DWG? No matter how hard akali is, the moment someone truly learns her, she cannot be outplayed, there are two scenarios, either she makes a mistake and you have a chance or she doesnt and she outplays any champion and/or player in the game, the enemies skill or champion picks has nothing to do with akali outplaying them when she is played correct and in that sense is it really impressive when a pro akali outplays anyone? Then we go to Vladimir whos strongest counter are the champions who dont lose hard to him, he cannot be countered, bullied out of lane, ganked or killed 1v1 or 1v2 and then he just aoe one shots your whole team. The only way to beat vladimir is another lane to snowbow so hard that he cannot solo hold it. There is a reason why vlad can afford medallion even when he is "hard countered" in lane, he can be 1-2 items behind everyone and still be the strongest thing in the game

Oh, neat. I assumed it was tie breakers based on seed, didn't realize it was game time. Doesn't change the rest of my complaint but it at least explains some of it.

All four series look hella interesting. I think all the not Damwon series could actually go either way, and if any one team could take on Damwon I'd put it on VCS doing stupid shit and tilting them off planet. Not that I think it'll happen
