In the original tweetโs scenario, the higher seed between Wildcard and VP will play DarkZero. DZ will always get seed 6 outside of the above tweetโs scenario.
For now, we do not consider the simulatorโs playoffs accurate. We will update the simulator within an hour. (3/3)
CORRECTION: The playoffs bracket will be seeded differently from the traditional 8 team single elim that was last used in Montreal. The tiebreaker scenario still holds, but the playoffs will look different. Many thanks to @suprSeth for the correction (1/3)
THREAD: For the Salt Lake City Major, BLAST will take into account tiebreakers in case of a tied Buchholz, with the scenario below the only one possible tonight. It is important to know this before assuming the seeds are locked in like so (1/4)
The shakeup happens for seeds 3-6. According to this section of the rulebook, it will be 3 vs 4 and 5 vs 6. This brings one SR vs DZ tiebreaker into relevancy, as DZ would win the RD tiebreaker +10 to SRโs +9 in this scenario. In every other scenario, G2 will play SR (2/3)

What does it mean?
It means despite the simulator putting Wildcard as #6 because of their initial seeding, it is not guaranteed. Whoever gets the higher round diff at the end of tonight will be seed 6 and will face G2. If they tie in RD, VP will be seed 6 regardless.
(4/4)
What does it look like now?
Virtus pro RD: 34-36 (-2)
Wildcard RD: 29-32 (-3)
No H2H
VP map win %: 3-3 (50%)
Wildcard map win %: 2-4 (33%)
VP round win %: 48.6%
Wildcard round win %: 47.5%
A tiebreaker match is impossible as VP will always get the map win % tiebreak

For the first time since the Six Invitational 2023, ๐ง๐ทBrazil will only send one team to the top 8. Is the end of Brazilian dominance coming?
