It is possible for C9 and G2 to make playoffs, with these 3 (if and only if) conditions:

  1. C9 beat G2 (any score, though G2 getting a map or not determines if G2 is 3rd and C9 4th or vice versa)

  2. MIBR beat Envy (any score)

  3. Lev beat Loud (any score)

I think only the 1st match is difficult/an upset so this is extremely doable imo.

---------------------------------------

Why this works:

Envy will be 1-4 and thus eliminated immediately. This is so they can't cause the 4-way tie that eliminates C9 no matter what.

The resulting 3 way tiebreaker between the 2-3 teams: (Loud G2 and C9) first begins with H2H, which they all score 1-1.

Then the H2H map differential will give C9+1/0, G2 +1/0 (both depending on their match score), and Loud -1.

This because G2-0'd Loud and C9 lost 1-2 to Loud.

That's all, I hope C9 vs G2 is a fun matchup for and between them, and they both make it.
