Why did G2 not have to play the tiebreaker?

because they beat FW twice

FW and G2 work together to kick TSM out

FW agree that

FW - "Yeah we can beat TSM easily, you guys just take the 2 win against us and will take care of TSM OK"

G2 - "Nice thanks for the carry"

FW - "No problem but will just charge you guys like 10k USD"

G2 - "Aite"

Cause FW had the misfortune of managing to beat SKT, instead of trading games with G2.

SKT: Even when you win against them you lose.

Because it's based on their head-to-head records.

G2 beat the Flash Wolves twice, TSM once. Flash Wolves beat TSM once, lost one to TSM and lost two to G2 and TSM beat G2 once and Flash Wolves once.

So if you arrange it as if WE, GAM and SKT weren't in the tournament at all the record would be

1. G2 3W-1L
2. Flash Wolves 2W-2L
3. Team SoloMid 2W-2L

Now add SKT, GAM and WE back to that the MSI table looks like this:

1. SKT
2. WE
3. G2
4. FW
5. TSM
6. GAM

That's why Flash Wolves and Team SoloMid had to play a tie breaker.
