@VALO2ASIA These first seed teams are just coping.
Skipping swiss is such a huge advantage its not even funny.
They should give the option to the first seed if they want to play the Swiss stage and if they accept then the 2nd seed will get the bye. This will create even funnier storylines
@VALO2ASIA I think it's just a momentum thing. You play in groups, do well, and carry that momentum into playoffs. The first seeds probably get too comfortable with that first week off and the ego of being the best in your region messes with your head, which screws you in playoffs.
@VALO2ASIA 1st seed bombing out is no longer valid. Now is down to skill issue. NS got 1st seed and won Masters without losing any series. PRX and EDG got 1st seed and they in upper finals now.
