With Cloud9 Blue marking a win during the final of the Open Qualifiers against Envy and Team SoloMid taking revenge against Gen.G for the defeat at the League of Legends World Championship 2020, the final seedings for the Regional Finals have been decided.

The fans from the region have already started speculating as to what the groups for the North American Regional Qualifiers may look like.

According to RyanCentral, if the Groups for the Valorant First Strike Regional Finals for North America are decided according to the seedings from the Open Qualifiers, this is what the group structure ‘could’ look like based on a snake format tournament.

A Snake format tournament is a partial Round Robin played over fewer rounds than in a full round-robin tournament. This means that most teams in the group stages of the regional qualifiers will face off only once against the other teams.

With the official schedule and groups for the Regional Finals yet to be announced, all of the above remains to be a speculation . However, with the regional finals scheduled to kick off from 7th November, it is likely that the four groups will be revealed soon.
