NA Group A

Group A is a blood bath honestly atm any time can qualify. Looking at the schedule, here's what I think.

Guard (1-2) beat XSET (2-1) - Guard 2-2, XSET 2-2
TSM (1-2) beat Ghost (2-1) - TSM 2-2, Ghost 2-2 COPIUM TSM FAN
NRG (1-2) beat 100T (2-1) NRG 2-2, 100T 2-2

I honestly think realistically we could see all 6 2-2 teams going into last week, which would be insane

TSM beat XSET COPIUM
NRG beat Guard
Ghost beat 100T

Ghost 3-2
NRG 3-2
TSM 3-2
100T 2-3
Guard 2-3
XSET 2-3

Anything can happen, I feel bad for the 5/6 in this group

Ok, if I'm being honest, XSET 100T Ghost NRG qualify in whatever order. TSM is cooked, Guard has a chance if they can beat XSET

Honestly just having a much more competitive region overall in NA is good. And we arent the only region seeing that. Competition levels right now in tier 1 are pretty damn tight outside of maybe 1-2 top tier teams in each region (optic, fnatic, prx, loud).

Outside of Optic realistically any other the other 11 NA teams could qualify to M2 with how groups are going.
But it would be rlly funny to see everyone being 2-2 next week but I agree on the last point where whoever ends up being 5/6 in the group itll really suck for because every match has been pretty tight
