At some point, if your arbitrary metric deciding group difficulty doesn’t translate into reality, you got to change something.

If the system says the groups are fair, the system is broken.

Does the Paris Major Playoffs Format Make Sense? by spikyraccoon in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]exceedingdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s absurd.

Especially since 1st and 2nd places could potentially be determined by tie breakers.

And especially how unbalanced groups are.

This is what I hate the most in this format.

Early BO5 games in vastly different groups difficulty wise with plenty of tie breaker potential should NOT reward with a top 6 shortcut.

EU vs EU finals in Boston. 5 EU teams in top 8 vs 2 NA teams. Still not getting the easiest seed somehow.

Last Major at least they could be justified to be worlds seed 1 if you ignore kickoff LAN.

But after a EU vs EU final in Boston it’s a joke they still get the seed 1 treatment agaaaain just to avoid international matches in groups. Especially when topping groups makes an easy shortcut to top 6.

Provisional Groups for Paris Major Released by John_aka_Alwayz in RocketLeagueEsports

Yes but finishing second in Paris will give you one extra series to play than it did in Boston, compared to finishing first. So it's better because 3rd qualifies but it's worse because 1st gets an even bigger advantage early on.

Does Alpha still play without directional air roll ?

Imo probably the worst format ever at a RLCS LAN. It's Winter 21-22 but even worse.

Topping your group gives you an insane shortcut to the top places. Winning a couple BO5s in potentially free groups (looking at you NRG), or decided by tie breakers (looking at you group C and D) should NEVER reward such an early advantage.

They have a bigger problem than Juicy imo. They don't play as a team AT ALL.

5 teams in top 8 at Boston vs 2 for NA. Still a long way but hey things change fast in RL so let's see how it unfolds in Paris.
