If Giants lose, but Elements, Roccat, and Gambit win today? Because in that case Roccat, Gambit, and Elements will be the only ones at 8-10 and Elements owns both head to head records against them, or does it just not matter because there's 3 teams tied?
TurquoiseYoshi1 votes7.3.2 Regular Season Tiebreaker. In the event that multiple teams are tied in the standings at the conclusion of either Regular Season split (as defined as having the same winning percentage), then any teams so tied will be seeded by head-to-head record. If said teams have identical head-to-head records (as defined as each team winning 50% of games between the two teams), said teams will play one tiebreaker game to determine the final standings. Tiebreaker games will be played following the final game of the Regular Season, but prior to the first day of the Playoffs. Tied teams will compete against each other until there is a winner. If three or more teams are tied, the head-to-head record of all teams against all other teams involved in the tiebreaker will be considered. If a single team owns a winning record (as defined as winning more than 50% of the games) against every other team in the tiebreaker, they are automatically granted the highest seed available in the tiebreaker, and a new tiebreaker is declared amongst the remaining teams.

Okay, cool. not that it matters now. Giants won damnit.
altrag21 votesIt does still matter. Elements and Gambit Gaming are tied at 7th/8th. Except 7th gets to stay in LCS while 8th goes back to promotion and has to win their seat again.
So.. why was there no tiebreaker between those two? Do they play a tiebreaker off-air? Or is there some other method to determine the result? Or do they both retain their LCS spot (and in that case, what happens to the promotion seeding?)
I'm curious how they'll resolve this situation. I'm sure they have some sort of plan but there doesn't seem to have been any (on air) discussion about it amongst all of the playoff bracket breakdowns.
EDIT: Read the rules closer and found my own answer. Head-to-head matches checked first and EL beat GMB both games, so I guess its GMB going to promotion.

Yeah, Elements owned the head to head. That's why I made the thread in the first place was there WAS a chance for a 3 way tie in the standing where Elements owned both head to heads. Now I really wonder if everyone won their game (Roccat, Gambit, Elements, and Giants) would Elements have to fight in tie-breakers, Because although they have 2 head to heads they're only tied with Giants in the head to head.
Obviously this is now purely hypothetical since it's not possible.
