Heyhey. I haven't played for a long time but I really want to get back into it. Does anyone know of or play with any amateur football groups?
Hey guys. Recently moved to Riga. Looking for some groups in FB(or any other platforms) where I could find english/russian speaking community, who plays football on amateur level. Would like to join them. Thanks in advance

Disclaimer: I may have made some mistakes so take this with a grain of salt until the official groups are announced.
If the format follows NA (which I think it probably will) then the groups are split into the following seeding:
A: 1 - 8 - 10 - 15
B: 2 - 7 - 9 - 16
C: 3 - 6 - 12 - 13
D: 4 - 5 - 11 - 14
Where the rank is based on the last 3 RLCS events (fall regional 2 and 3 as well as the fall major, even for teams that didn't qualify). One thing I'm unsure of is how ties are handled. In this case there is a 3-way tie for 8-10. I'm guessing it's based on overall points (like the auto-qual spots). But in the case of 15-16, Singularity and Rix have not yet made a main event this year so they don't have any points. I'm guessing in this case it's based on closed qual results, where Singularity had a higher GD than rix, so they take 15th.
Which would make the groups for this upcoming weekend:
A: BDS - 00N - TEA - Singularity
B: DIG - Misfits - TQ - Rix
C: SMPR - EG - WR - KXM
D: Endpoint - VIT - KC - NaVI
Probably getting announced on twitter today anyway so this is most likely useless but fun to figure out. Have a good day everyone!
EDIT: THESE GROUPS ARE WRONG READ THE COMMENTS FUCCCCCCCK
I'm on a bit of a roll, so I thought I'd have a look at the groups we'll be seeing for EU Regional Event 1.
Psyonix will release it at some point this week, but they were algorithmically set once the Closed Qualifiers ended.
Here's the seeds:
- Team BDS (1001 points in the last three RLCS events)
- Dignitas (801)
- SMPR Esports (800)
- Endpoint (711)
- Team Vitality (540)
- Misfits Gaming (240)
- 00 Nation DNB (220; tiebreak over Queso due to placement in the Closed Qualifier)
- Team Queso (220; tiebreak over TEA due to cumulative RLCS points)
- TEA (220)
- Karmine Corp (190)
- Williams Resolve (180)
- Evil Geniuses (160)
- Kuxir's Minions (110)
- Natus Vincere (40)
- Team Singularity (0; tiebreak over Rix.GG due to placement in the Closed Qualifier; they were both 3-1 but Singularity had the better game differential. If that's not what breaks the tie, Singularity were in the Fall 3rd Closed Qualifier and Rix's roster wasn't, so that should do.)
- Rix.GG (0)
Looking over the transactions, it's kind of crazy to me how few roster changes of significance there were in EU. I guess the good results from EU at Sweden, combined with how volatile EU is, made everyone think they're up there with the best if they just keep doing what they're doing.
Group A: BDS, Queso, Karmine Corp, Singularity
If my SRS model from the Fall split (goal differential per game adjusting for opponent) is to be trusted, BDS got a raw deal with this group. Queso and KC are theoretically the 8th and 10th seeds in EU, but a closer look (goal differential adjusted for opponent in the three regionals, plus some closed quals) suggests that Karmine was the 9th best team in EU last split, and that Queso was actually the fifth best. I went over them a little when I power ranked the teams after the split, but they just generally performed pretty well in main events, and had some impressive Closed Qualifier results as well.
In fact, when I was looking for the seeds to be set in EU, I was looking for whether BDS would get unluckily matched up with someone like Queso, which is exactly what happened.
Group B: Dignitas, 00Nation, TEA, Rix.GG
Dignitas, on the other hand, appears to be a little luckier. Dig's dominance of Sweden's Swiss s

Are all local games broadcast on TV and how far do those regions stretch for? I watched Sunderland til I die on Netflix and they watched their games on TV but is is different for a city and a neighborhood club in London or Manchester?
