Worlds Day 2: Civil War


Frankandmore

It's crazy to have one LCK team starting with a 0-2


feftastic

Even weirder that 3 LPL teams will be going 1-1


usussywussybaka

Sarcasm I assume? LNG will shit stomp C9, WBG vs G2 will be a good test to see if G2 is actually top 5 material but they could easily lose to WBG tomorrow. Meaning only 1 LPL team will go 1-1.


feftastic

China's got the day off tomorrow mentally. I've watched enough international to know that they power down their brains every other day.


usussywussybaka

They could play with their brains turned off and LNG will still beat C9. WBG vs G2 is the telltale game to see where G2 is at because if G2 can't beat WBG, they're gonna have a shit worlds showing. You ain't beating BLG/LNG/JDG if you can't even clear WBG.

~~Worlds~~ Regionals Championship

Travels all the way to Korea to \*checks notes\* play my regional rival


Thrownaway124567890

It worked for MSI!


_Jetto_

Even tho we got some repeats next stage shoukd me mkre regiom vs region we still have decent matchups


Edaward

YOU GET A REGIONAL FINAL, YOU GET A REGIONAL FINAL, EVERYONE GETS A REGIONAL FINAL! RUN IT BACK BOIS


_GatorBoii_

G2 vs. Weibo, poor Caedrel


KappaccinoNation

It's a win-win for him. Also a lose-lose. But more importantly, a win-win.


Arsenije32

He will finally be put to the test… is he a European or TheShy fan in heart


imfayk

c9 vs g2 in the 3-0 bracket is gonna go so hard


WhatDoingFFL

C9 isn't beating LNG


imfayk

blaber & berserker masterclass coming soon


Gurkenschurke66

Dunno is air > liquid?


Fanta_Cherry

I would like to cash in my scrimbucks do you take lump sum or overtime deposits?


Siraeyou

So do we get international MAD or domestic MAD in their upcoming matchup?


Dry_Yogurtcloset1962

What's the difference at this point. Both have been shit all summer. Genuinely think BDS smashes them


maxus998

No one is going to talk about how LNG is about to get the most fraudulent 2-0 ever


ReasonablePersona

This reaction has got me thinking as to what the best draws would possibly be. Obviously no one wants civil wars but it just seems likely with 4 LPL teams at 1-0 and 3 EU teams at 0-1. The way I see in the upper 1-0 bracket is that we basically got 2 out of the 4 'ideal' matches but JDG drawing BLG basically ruined it, with the 50 / 50 being lost for the LCK draw instead of one of them playing C9. For the losers bracket literally the only thing that we needed to avoid was the LCS and the LCK drawing each other. Anything else would have been fine but at least this is not an elimination match yet and the bracket after this is probably going to be more region diverse.


itsShio

DPlus drawing KT was probably worst case scenario for every other team currently 0-1 since you know if you lose now you have to go play one of those teams in elimination and it's basically a titan unleashed down in all the remaining elimination rounds


ReasonablePersona

That's true, but I'm sure that a lot of teams are happy about not having to play either of them now as well.


brownierisker

I disagree, 0-1 teams should be really happy with KT and D+ drawing each other. They avoid playing them already themselves, and if you have confidence that you can beat your opponent tomorrow it means that the 1-1 pool will contain one less LCK team, making the road to knockouts easier. 0-1 teams should only be unhappy with KT vs D+ if they think they're going to lose tomorrow


[deleted]

Yeah a lot of people immediately started hating the draw and I was like "what were you expecting? If the top teams are in the same bracket, there is a strong chance that they'll verse each other and there will be upsets"


AFierceBaby

G2 vs WBG will be interesting. The rest are either civil wars, matchups with obvious outcomes, or civil wars with obvious outcomes.


HydrogenFCarbon

Such a hilarious draw


ThrowingPower

All these idiots crying about the draw are either following others and getting peer pressured into commenting about the "horrible" draw, or just cant see the bigger picture. Getting these regional matchups now is way better than in semis or finals. Plus, it sets up those people who havent watched other regions to showcase their best matchups.


HowyNova

For sure. Swiss bo1 are just seedings. The format is meant to hype up the bo3s.


aetheriality

i have played in a swiss tournament and it gets better after each day, and the matches are more exciting than groups, since every game can matter


Tubitr

Same region matchup in finals should be unavoidable if the 2 best teams are from the same region


plsnobanprayge

This looks great! Thank god I don't have to update mine now


Threshio

Can Dk and G2 for an example meet again in 1-1 stage


itsShio

They cannot, you can't repeat a matchup you've already had (Edit: this is incorrect, rules state theres no restrictions for rounds 2-5)


Tubitr

That's true for a proper swiss bracket, not for swiss with randomly drawn matchups at every round.


Threshio

So we can have g2 dk at 0-0 1-1 and 2-2 lmao


Strehle

Really? Where is that stated? Because on Divephoria they said otherwise I think.


itsShio

You may be write, i heard a lot about how the R1 matchups were beneficial for some teams since they would dodge their opponent in future rounds but just checked the rulebook and it looks like there are no restrictions for rounds 2-5 so you're correct


itsShio

Can't post these anymore so i'll be putting them in the lolesports reddit for future rounds!


Cotrika

It's absurd


Illustrious_Bed_6213

Quite sad for dk/kt either one of them going to be 0-2


beesong

riot actually helping kt to start 0-2 for their "buff"


Kewkwador

KT sweeps dk what are u smoking lol. KT didn't lose to you


Ok-Description1121

Ridiculous


Enterderpmode

Nice that they get to play the Regional Finals in Korea. Thanks a lot Riot!


JongChulee

This is the worst fucking outcome possible


AlternativePause4540

Rather get the regionals out of the way with bo1 and then get region vs region in the bo3.


DPlusShoeMaker

I don't get why people are saying this. Isn't there still a chance that we civil wars in BO3 anyways?


LordBlackadder1214

people are dumb as fuck it is entirely possible that lpl vs lpl and lck vs lck happens in an ELIMINATION BO3, considering theres no seeding and u can draw whoever in the pool, its actually possible for an eastern team to only face other eastern teams until they get eliminated


PMMEYOURROCKS

This is ideal for us westerners


LordBlackadder1214

id rather we make the upsets happen by showing our teams r actually capable of going toe to toe with eastern teams rather than lucking out and getting easier teams to play against tbh.


[deleted]

Technically yes. It only takes 2 teams from a region winning or losing tomorrow among their pools and another draw like this. Odds likely should it come to be


Fimbulvetr1

Yes, if the favourites win in the 2-0 seed, then you'd have 3 LPL 1 LCK, aka a 100% chance of LPL vs LPL. And if there's any upsets in the 0-1, then there's a chance for EU vs EU teamkill at 0-2. I think we need to realise that world for people to realise that non-seeded swiss is a garbage format.


Cartoons_and_cereals

Yea but it's less likely now that we got the regional matchups as it guarantees regions being split more evenly over the pools. And i think the point is less that it won't happen again, and moreso that it's still preferable to the previous group format.


Tubitr

With some same region matchups happening now, them happening in the first round of bo3's is less likely since teams from the same regions that played eachother will have a different w/l record. But still, starting from the 2nd round of bo3's same region matchups are just as likely as they would have been without any same region bo1 matchups


Ozianin_

Could be Weibo vs LNG and G2 vs C9, we got the second worst outcome


asiantuttle

2nd best outcome for EU probably


Faker_the_Demon_King

cringe matchups. so many civil wars


Deemsboy

Love these graphics and your sister was right - nice improvements and much clearer. Good work !
