What if 3 way tie 'without tiebreaker'

Takito··1 votes·1,246 views

What would happen if CLG wins 2 time against ROX, ROX 2 vs ANX and ANX 2 vs CLG.

Normally you go to the head-to-head record before the tiebreaker and in that case it would mean

ANX>CLG>ROX>ANX>CLG>ROX (repeat)

Is there a tiebreaker even if technically each teams got head-to-head record over another one?

I know about this one and I've already read it but i don't think the situation is exactly this one.

Head-to-head record is the first thing to happen and the situation i wrote down could very well happen (If CLG beat ROX, ROX beat ANX and both ANX and CLG beat G2). The most unlikely event being CLG beating ROX but w/e.

In that case, each teams technically got head-to-head record over one of the others so tie-breaker would also feels weird...

I mean, 3 way ties are weird to begin with, so you can't make any kind of super clean tie breaker method, but what I linked is what answers your question of what happens if they tie and no head-to-head breaks the tie. If there was more time, they'd play a round robin with just those 3 teams and if they tied again, then it'd become a randomly seeded bracket.

CLG has to pray that Anx loses all their remaining games

Or they have to beat ROX and hope ROX beats ANX so that way head-to-head records can't break the 3 way tie. G2 is definitely playing spoiler now though.
