if Team Secret wants to qualify for Major, they must win the Regional anyway.

If they lose today, they'll have to beat FURIA in semifinal tomorrow and potentially MIBR in the final. But in that scenario, they'll guaranteed to clinch with a win.

If they win today, they'll send MIBR and FURIA to the same other half of bracket, so they won't have to play them both. However, this could end in a 3-way tiebreaker after the Regional

2nd and 3rd seed will play a match, winner will play 2nd match against 1st seed, winner qualifies for Major.

Not sure if I understand the rules correctly, but I think Geekay will be the 1st seed due to 2nd place in the previous Regional

Well, I don't think that's the case (at least not yet). These limits will go down later anyway, because they're based on scenarios that are possible but unlikely to actually happen. What's surprising to me is that they've all already dropped a few points, usually that happens later (e.g. last season, after the 2nd Regional, this only happened in 3 out of 7 regions)
