I know it's that bias where you only remember the bad times, because he's got a positive winrate this TI, but Alch always seems to just be a god drat anchor whenever I'm looking.

They needed to 2-0 twice to be in the running. They can maybe 1-1 here and 2-0 EG but VP and RNG both have the head to head advantage.

Commentators are saying they're still potentially alive if they win out and other things go right.

Infamous and Fnatic are now locked for the main event. RNG and VP are 3 pts clear and can tie with NIP if NIP wins 1 vs Infamous and 2-0 against EG. However, NIP got 0-2 by VP and RNG so they have tiebreaker secured.

Unless I'm missing something, NIP is out.

The only tiebreakers for actually-important things like upper/lower and lower/out are extra games.

VG clinches upper bracket with a win in game 2, though I feel like they'll probably take at least one off OG so I'm not sure how much it matters.

Getting to 8 points will be enormous for Na'Vi, though. I'm not sure 7 will be enough for a UB/LB tiebreak.

What would the tiebreakers look like if eg get 2-0'd and nip aren't eliminated?

EG can't be eliminated anymore so nip would have to hope someone else finishes at 5. If RNG or VP win the second game of their first set (the games that are live now) everyone will be at 6 or higher so nip would still be toast

They play another set. I assume it would actually be a Bo3.

Also: EG is still on the bubble for upper/lower. Inf will finish with 6-8 points, and EG will finish with 7-9 points, so there's a potential tiebreaker there too.

oh, yeah there are still tons of potential upper/lower tiebreakers so I just assumed he was only talking about nip's scenarios lol

Don't they usually do Bo2 among each tied team, see if anyone qualifies/is eliminated, repeat as necessary?

If there's more than two teams I think they do Bo1s but in a round robin type format. No real reason to do a Bo2 because it can still end up tied. If it's only two teams not sure if they'll do a Bo1 or Bo3.

Oh, for multiple-way ties I assume there is an arcane system worked out by the great and good that involves teams being hidden in sound proof Faraday cages so nobody knows what the result of the other series are.
