Thank god. Last time my team got placed against lowpander and they essentially just toyed with us for 30 minutes. We did get some good memes out of it though.

While that is true, our team and lowpander were the only teams to play in the first round, every other team got a bye to the 2nd round. The top teams should get byes to the first round so in the 1st round we should have faced a similar skilled team. In the first full round I agree weak teams should play strong teams.
irrelevant of our game the seeding was still incorrect as if i remember correctly Lowpander played AF very early on, when they shouldnt have met till semi finals

Idk how many times to explain to you but the seeding system uses faceit elo. If your saying getting so salty about losing to lowpander in the first game since if your team got a bye your would have had to play against a prem team the next game anyway. So if you want to play good games on faceit then play it alot so you have good elo.
Moist_Penguin so in the 1st round we should have faced a similar skilled team. In the first full round I agree weak teams should play strong teams.
Hmm according to faceit elo theses teams looks "similar skilled".

Also the teams with the highest elo "Artic Foxes" and "Loli Squad" played in the grand final so in terms of faceit elo this system actually works. And the problem why teams like Lowpander had to play against artic foxes is because they dont have an accurate elo representing their skill level.

nice post except literally no team has good representing elo in faceit since there's close to 0 tournaments ever played on that platform in regards to tf2. the seeding was a mess in the eyes of anyone who actually plays the game

This... is true, to a certain extent. Manual seeding was out of my head back when Weekly #1 happen, and we know the teams/players do ask for a better seeding system. FACEIT's auto-seeding is based on the teams' general FACEIT level. Manual seeding will be done by us and FACEIT, to hopefully better experience.

Nikolomarais it possible to queue with a friend? i want to play with a friend of mine but we dont want to create a team from scratch for this one cup
during the check-in period i believe you can queue as a party and the system will try to make you a mix team. you won't be guaranteed a team though if there aren't 6 people spare

I think moving these to Sundays would increase signups by quite a bit, could be used as scrims with rewards on a day where teams usually have 6
