FaZe could realistically start in losers and may have to have a tie breaker vs Optic for the 8th seed. there could also be a 4 way tie of teams at a 2-3 series count and the same map count! – July 9, 2022 at 05:00AM

looking at current map counts and records FaZe could start in losers with some funky shit if Florida lose as well.

​

​

Heres the easiest outcome with no tie breakers

-ROKKR beat Paris – map count doesn’t matter as they’d be 3-2

-Ultra beat Boston and Optic making Ultra and Boston both 3-2

-Florida beat thieves making them 3-2

-Thieves beat NYSL making them 3-2 while NYSL are 4-1

-London lose or win vs LAG making them 5-0 or 4-1

​

this puts 7 teams at 3-2 or higher with Paris, LAG, and Optic confirmed losers at 1-4 or 0-5.

​

the 2 remaining teams would be Seattle and FaZe with a head to head that in any map count with Seattle winning puts them ahead of FaZe at either 10-9, 10-10, or 10-11 map count against FaZe 8-11, 9-11, or 10-11. a 3-2 win for Seattle would put them both at 2-3 with the same map count that I assume Seattle wins outright due to head to head.

​

​

​

There is also a possibility as an Optic fan that we make winners with FaZe STILL making losers, but its much harder, and I think requires us to win 3-0 or 3-1 and maybe 3-2 if we are lucky as hell.

​

-ROKKR beat Paris – map count doesn’t matter as they’d be 3-2

-Ultra lose to Boston, no map count will matter, Boston would be 4-1

-Florida beat thieves making them 3-2

-Thieves beat NYSL putting NYSL at 4-1 and Thieves at 3-2

-London beat LAG any map count, putting them at 5-0

​

this currently puts ROKKR, Boston, Florida, Thieves, NYSL, and London in winners leaving 2 spots open at 7th and 8th, with LAG and Paris confirmed 11th and 12th.

​

now we have 4 teams left Optic at 1-3 with a MC of 7-10, Ultra at 1-3 with a map count ranging from 6-11 to 4-11, Seattle at 1-3 with a map count of 7-9, and FaZe at 2-2 with a map count of 8-8.

​

now heres the hard part, and I think could make things interesting depending on map count. If Optic win this puts Ultra at 1-4. If Seattle win this puts Seattle, Optic, and FaZe at 2-3 and I dont know how seeding works if map counts differ. here are the scenarios

​

*Optic 3-0 Ultra MC of 10-10*

*Optic 3-1 Ultra MC of 10-11*

*Optic 3-2 Ultra MC of 10-12*

​

*Seattle 3-0 FaZe with a MC of 10-9*

*Seattle 3-1 FaZe with a MC of 10-10*

*Seattle 3-2 FaZe with a MC of 10-11*

​

*FaZe lose 0-3 with a MC of 8-11*

*FaZe lose 1-3 with a MC of 9-11*

*FaZe lose 2-3 with a MC of 10-11*

​

In the event of a 3-1 Optic win, and a 3-2 Seattle win that puts all 3 teams at a 10-11 MC with Seattle winning the H2H vs FaZe. This is where I don’t know if FaZe or Optic get the 8th seed or if another tie breaker match is in effect. a 3-0 Optic win secures Seattle and Optic the 7th and 8th seed with FaZe at 9th. If Optic win 3-2 and FaZe loses 2-3 I believe Optic get the 9th seed with FaZe at 8th.

​

Also, this is even crazier, if Florida lose to Thieves 2-3, Optic win 3-1 vs Ultra, and Seattle 3-2 FaZe all 4 teams would be 2-3 series count at a 10-11 map count. At this point I have honestly no clue who gets what seed since the only head to head is Seattle over FaZe.

​

If any info in wrong, please let me know I’ve been looking at map counts and records and predictions of 12 teams so I could be faded
