Imagine if NIP won against KRU

Loud would be in playoffs and the group of death wouldn't be that deadly. But the fact that giant powerhouses like OpTic and LOUD can be pushed out of the tournament so early is what makes it all fun.

Nah cuz they flukers.

No emea = wins for these noob teams

they would not make it to finals like last time cause last time they defeated a trash EMEA team G2 who are highly inconsistent
and liquid who are 4th seed of EMEA
this time only deserving and consistent teams like XSET guild are here

Last time EMEA was nerfed so yeah, like this time guild and optic was so close, I wonder how it would go in reykavik if EMEA had full teams instead of subs.

Putting all asian teams on side and all western teams on the other was kinda cringe

optic would beat NTH like last time
FPX with 1 sub defeated XIA GUILD would ofc defeat XIA
only DRX can win against Optic,guild and LLL

TBF both Optic and loud dropping first game is just really unlikely and poor that that became the situation.

dont act like it wasnt close, both games couldve gone either way. guild was just fortunate enough to close them both out

every match this masters going to overtime wdym

Even better, if optic had won against xset
Things would have been sorted

I mean, if M3C qualified it would be different, if Xerxia was first seed it would be different.

Your comment is the same as If my grandmother didnt eat a chainsaw, she wouldnt have died
