I'm gonna do something I haven't done in a while. I'm just sharing a screenshot of Google Sheets. This is what I use to get an overview of the consequences of multiple matches. These are just for Groups A & C. I will try to do more for Groups B & D later.

Lastly, here are the regional matchups in Swiss. I don't think there is anything noteworthy here, but it's the last time we have these specific regions at a Major, so I couldn't leave it out. 13/13

But after the first round, the groups are locked and all Bo1s past that are part of the "group". I can even give you a whole bracket graphic. If Secret-Elevate and Chiefs-SCARZ weren't rematches (which made them swap opponents), all 20 Bo1s would have been group matches. 9/13

While Swiss feels very random in which team faces which, there is always a rule-based system underneath. You can see this if you try to find patterns in how matchups are determined. For example, if the first 2 rounds use the same matchup system, you'll always get "groups". 7/13

The thing with seeding is that it doesn't just determine the first round. Buchholz only starts to work after 2 rounds, so the first 2 rounds are basically entirely determined by seeding, and any ties after round 2 are broken by seeding as well. And there are always ties. 5/13

Here is the seeding order, which determined what the matchups would be in the first round. You can easily see who everyone faces with Dutch matchups: it's the team two spaces above or below them, like how BDS faced w7m in the first round. 4/13

In 2023, both Majors used the default matchup system for all their Swiss rounds. It means the best/highest seeded team faces the worst/lowest seeded team. There are other matchup systems though, and for Manchester they switched to the Dutch system for the first Swiss round. 2/13
