The VCT Group Stage
PRACTICEDirections: Study the bracket data and the constraints provided below to reconstruct the entire tournament history before attempting the questions.
The Lore: The official VCT (Valorant Champions Tour) Group Stage data has been decrypted. Five elite esports organizations (Fnatic, Sentinels, PRX, Karmine, and LOUD) dropped into a single round-robin gauntlet. Every squad played each other exactly once. All matches were Best-of-3 (BO3) format, meaning a match ends immediately when a team wins 2 maps. No matches end in a draw.
The Scoring Meta:
* The Sweep (2-0): The winner secures Points. The loser gets Points.
* The Grind (2-1): The winner secures Points. The loser secures Point.
The Data Matrix:
| Team | Total Points | Total Maps Won | Total Maps Lost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fnatic | 8 | 6 | 3 |
| Sentinels | 6 | 5 | 5 |
| PRX | 6 | 5 | 5 |
| Karmine | 6 | 5 | 5 |
| LOUD | 4 | 4 | 7 |
The Tea (Constraints):
1. PRX absolutely cooked LOUD, sweeping them 2-0.
2. Fnatic was farming Elo, securing exactly two 2-0 sweeps in the tournament. These flawless victories were specifically against PRX and Karmine.
3. Karmine perfectly read Sentinels' playbook, sweeping them 2-0.
4. LOUD's only victory in the entire tournament was against Karmine.
