How the seeding process works (if a team is still tied with others, the next step is applied):

  • In the Challengers Stage
    1. Challenger teams are seeded higher than Contender teams
    2. Each seed is assigned to a RMR event based on the performance of teams from the same region at the previous Major
    3. Teams are ordered based on their final placement in the RMR event
  • In the Legends Stage
    1. Legend teams are seeded higher than teams from the Challengers Stage
    • For Legend teams
    1. Each seed is assigned to a RMR event based on the performance of teams from the same region at the previous Major
    2. Teams are ordered based on their final placement in the RMR event
    • For teams from the Challengers Stage
      1. Teams with a better record in the Challengers Stage are seeded higher (3-0 higher than 3-1)
      2. A team with a higher Buchholz score from the Challengers Stage is seeded higher
      3. A team with a higher seed from the Challengers Stage is seeded higher (Seed #1 from the Challengers Stage higher than Seed #2)
  • In the Champions Stage
    1. Teams with a better record in the Legends Stage are seeded higher (3-0 higher than 3-1)
    2. A team with a higher Buchholz score from the Legends Stage is seeded higher
    3. A team with a higher seed from the Legends Stage is seeded higher (Seed #1 from the Legends Stage higher than Seed #2)
