so doesn't the winners bracket guarantee you get 9th-12th? aka $212,000 vs $53,000

Actually, yes, it would appear to. drat, makes clinching WB status even more important, and makes all the BO1s huge (a BO1 for 160k? holy poo poo)

Just got home. What are the relevant games today that have standing implication? Looks like VG needs to beat NB to get to upper bracket. EHOME and VP looks like a big deal. CDEC clinched first so they don't care but EG needs a win to stay 2nd. Anything else I've missed?

EG can still get 1st if they 2-0 CDEC and CDEC drops at least one game to EHOME.

I think if EG and EHOME both 2-0 CDEC, EG gets first. Or what the guy above me said.

The upcoming coL vs Fnatic game matters for Fnatic - if Fnatic goes 2-0, they get 5th place and the ability to choose their opponent for the first BO1.

Cool thanks. Seems like group B winner will pick coL over c9 no matter what, but I have no idea who LGD would pick even ignoring the fact that 5 teams could finish 3rd-4th.

A 2-0 gets them a tie with MVP for fifth. Same for iG. And it doesn't matter either way if Fnatic gets a 2-0. But there's still something at stake.

So if Fnatic win, they move up to 5th, MVP get 6th, and na'vi and iG are 7th/8th, which doesn't effectively matter since the 5th seed picks which team to play. If Fnatic draw or lose, iG or na'vi need to sweep the series to get to 6th. MVP are automatically 5th in either scenario because they swept iG and took a game off Secret (na'vi got swept by Secret)

i mean i dont think he ever won a 1v1 tournament or anything but its not like navi were making it to the finals every year while LD yelled "dendi is just getting destroyed mid!!!! the humanity!!!!!!!!" he just does his job, and unless ppy writes a big post about what went wrong with navi you cant really tell if dendi stopped giving a poo poo or if the noobs on his team are just holding him down.
