swaglord69 [#3]if yes then i would say these are advancing;
1 - gambit envy
2 - smb vs
3 - ace thieves
4 - g2 sen
We can expect surprises from the 2nd and 3rd group

KRÜ is very good, probably best South American team, they would have a decent shot at winning against G2
s4ber [#6]Group 3 no 1st seed ?
yes but there is the korean team. I balanced the 1st seed japanese team with the 2nd seed korean team
PrTsty [#9]KRÜ is very good, probably best South American team, they would have a decent shot at winning against G2
In Iceland they were only getting pistol rounds. I hope they don't drown again
rohanxyz [#15]Wait a minute. Didn't riot announce 8 team groups?
4 groups -> 2 from each groups -> 8 teams playoff
rohanxyz [#15]Wait a minute. Didn't riot announce 8 team groups?
Nah, 4 groups still. Just 2 teams now from each group make it out, where before it was only 1. 8 teams that make it out play in a Bo3 8 team single elimination bracket, BO5 grand finals.
DasiusWL [#18]so not a single #1 seed in group 2?
If 1st seed group is SEN 100T GMB VS then 100T is the first seed I guess
Never_Wrong [#22]Kinda out of the loop. How many games are played in total? Can't find the updated format

This is true against Fnatic - in their first match. They later beat Sharks in a convincing 2-0 and took several rounds off TL even being bested 2-0 in this series. They're certainly not a bad team and good easily make top 8 here beating the likes of 100T, G2, NV and plenty of teams from the other regions.
Having said that, I don't think they'll make it passed the top 8, should they make it this far. And they likely won't beat the top seeds from each region, they're sitting somewhere in the middle.
Mrityunjay [#5]All these groups are too predictable , need a VS EMEA NA group
I agree, I think Riot will seed the groups not necessarily to piss people off, but to give as many quality matches and "hype" matches as possible. A match like 100T vs Acend would do exactly this, especially if it's for a spot in playoffs.
cripsy [#11]yes but there is the korean team. I balanced the 1st seed japanese team with the 2nd seed korean team
Regional winners will be favoured over 2nd place finishers, or even lower (EMEA and NA case with 4 and 3 teams respectively), take Iceland for example, Fnatic, KRU, CR and V1 were the bottom 4 seeds going in, with both BR seeds, X10 and Nuturn being seeded above them, as well as TL and SEN with byes in the first round as the top 2 seeds of 10.
cripsy [#4]yes guess but according to rankings
i dont think envy will be in the same group as gambit since gambit has no1 seed flip bren and envy and i think that fits
