Nah im saying open bracket teams have that chance to upset teams, and pool play allowed you to not only warm up and get in tournament mode but also dictate your bracket seeding. The way seeding is used in today's league format is dumb af.

and yea whether it was t7 or t3 it still aint a win, and people including you would still hold that loss over them and disregard their other wins. No champs winning team has ever won after being knocked down from WR1. And in both those years they atleast lost in WR1 to the team that actually won those events. These kinds of scenarios are non existent today because the format is set up with the same mentality as "keep the rich rich, and the poor poor." This format doesnt allow for a possible FaZe vs Ultra WR1. I hope you see what im trynna say.
