The loser here loses all chances of finishing in the top 4, the winner has to win this and his last match and hope for favorable tie breakers to possibly make it through.
A lot on the line for both, yet their fates aren't entirely in their hands anymore.
Edit:
- For Meta Bellum to go trough a few things need to happen:
- NC Foxes loses to LWR
- Victory here
- Victory vs NC Foxes (this will win them the head to head tie breaker)
Note that if NC Foxes wins their match against LWR, Meta is technically eliminated as the former will have secured their spot and the latter has already lost the head to head vs Rox Orcas
- As for AFR I'm not entirely sure since it's a lot more complicated and would require a three way tie possibly coming down to map score depending on how they apply the tie breaker:
- NC Foxes loses to LWR
- Victory here
- Victory vs GC Busan
- NC Foxes loses to Meta Bellum
- ROX Orcas loses to LRW
This is where I'm not sure about what happens next. The head to heads go as such:
NC Foxes > ROX Orcas
NC Foxes > AFR
ROX Orcas > AFR
The above is why they need that three way tie at the very least or else they just straight up lose the first tie breaker. Now, I don't know if they'll go to individual head to heads or just straight to map scores where they'd have to do very well in their last two matches while the opponents would nee to do poorly.
If anyone has a better idea of how the tie breaker would work here feel free to chime in!
