well, kind of a charity seed. Estonia won league D in the Nations League, which doesn’t get its own playoff track, but in order for league D to have something to play for, the winner gets a slot if the higher leagues have empty spots. League A playoff track had empty slots, so they got the slot.
how did Estonia qualify for the play offs? Their record in qualifying for this event is garbage. Is this some sort of charity seed?
Nope, they did well enough in Nations league to earn their place in the playoffs on that merit
I had no idea that was a thing, thank you for clearing up my confusion.
