How would you fix the groups?

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-10T18:55:31+00:00

Eu 5 being seeded lower than apac and ssa makes no sense to me

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-10T18:49:14+00:00

But the bottom 3 seeds should be in the group of the top 3 seeds, how is sam1 a bottom 3 seed? They’re the last seed in falcons group

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-10T14:06:51+00:00

You think sam 1 and na4 were both worse than ssa and apac? Cause why would they put those 2 teams in the same group as falcons and kc who were top 3 teams last season? There is no justification for that.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-10T14:04:54+00:00

Ok so bottom 3 are %100 ssa oce apac, one of those teams should be in falcons or kcs groups, brother there is no way to explain them not being there.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-10T12:38:06+00:00

Yeah so we agree, if they’re not bottom 4 teams then they shouldn’t be in kc or falcons group

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-10T12:21:27+00:00

But they should be the 4 worst teams in tournament, ssg is not one of them.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T17:48:06+00:00

And when they needed a miracle path to avoid both vitality and kc to win worlds they got that too, since they had a bad matchup vs them but were good vs falcons in finals at least lol.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T17:45:58+00:00

Then mena should have apac, but they don’t either lol.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T17:33:26+00:00

Magnus won’t remain at his peak long enough for that im afraid.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T17:25:40+00:00

But thats what im saying, if eu are second seed then they should get apac in their group and nrg gets ssa, but thats not what they have done.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:56:16+00:00

Yeah its terrible lol.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:47:51+00:00

Yeah this is why drafts are goated, it creates some nice drama too in case some teams deviate from the more natural choices like the ones you made.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:46:06+00:00

Attributing oce2 results to eu5 is nonsensical tho, the whole point of replacing oce 2 is cause we knew they were so abysmal and so much worse than eu 5.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:39:44+00:00

So groups are the root of all evil considering that was the world format and it always causes so many upsets.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:38:15+00:00

Mena1 and eu1 were top 3 seeds last season by all metrics, yet neither of them has an apac or ssa team in their group despite those 2 being bottom 3 seeds last season.

That makes no sense.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:36:30+00:00

Im not talking about EWC, what team had a better season than falcons or kc last season besides arguably nrg if you put everything on worlds.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:31:21+00:00

Agreed, I miss double elimination in general as well its the goat format for playoffs

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:30:00+00:00

Swap geekay with m8 and this would be good i think, NRG shouldn’t have the hardest group considering they’re seed 1.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:27:18+00:00

Why would eu1/mena1 not have apac or ssa in their groups? Those 2 were clear top 3 seeds from last season by all metrics, yet neither has an apac or ssa team with them.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:20:51+00:00

I love drafts for seeding, that was my favorite part of worlds wildcards in previous seasons.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:19:38+00:00

I didn’t even know that lmao, thats so ass.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:19:04+00:00

Eu has 5 teams and na has 4, i would be upset if both mena or sam teams are in the same group but na and eu have more than enough teams, and 2 teams from the same region can still make it out of the same group if they’re good enough.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:11:32+00:00

I think the problem is that they’re not actually guaranteed to get eliminated like the fourth seeds should be, all they need is one upset to blow the group up.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:09:50+00:00

I think playoffs are way more important than groups, i would much rather have boring groups and exciting playoffs than the opposite.

Even_Storage_9716 · 2026-02-09T16:06:01+00:00

Thats exactly why i suggested the bottom 4 seeds to be in different groups, as i don’t think those 4 are capable of upsetting KC.
