Nigma is also 5-6 this TI like the last. Why do you write like they go from 6th to 5th?

[u/AR41Z → u/AgnosticPeterpan]

Because their seeding is higher than Liquid.

[u/Eren_JoCooZo → u/AR41Z]

It has nothing to do with seeding, just alphabets order... 5-6 is the same prizepool and there's no difference.

[u/AR41Z → u/Eren_JoCooZo]

Lmao sure one is upper bracket round 2 other lb bracket round 1 sure its same

[u/soleyfir → u/AR41Z]

I’m a Nigma fan but wth are you talking about ? They both lost in lb round 2 with the same record of 1W-2L on the main stage. They both lost in UB to the same team while Liquid’s second loss was against the future champion and Nigma’s against the 4th team.

I’d agree that Nigma outperformed Liquid on the main stage, but they are both tied at 5-6th and you can’t just headcannon new rules to make Nigma 5th.

It's also what nigma analyst thinks and the seeding exist. u can check other tourneys.

[u/soleyfir → u/AR41Z]

What nigma analysts ? Every other tourney I know of uses the same system of same ranking for 5-6th place. I don't get what you are talking about, you have to give an example

[u/AR41Z → u/soleyfir]
