If VS qualify out of group A, is it an upset for either Acend or SMB or are they all on equal footing you'd say?

i think all 3 are equal unless eu has improved more than kr since iceland

all 3 of them have equal expectations

I personally believe that both Acend and SMB are "supposed" to be stronger than VS because of their region, as it was true in the case of SMB going into EMEA challenger playoffs (being underdogs) but after the tournament nobody is saying that it is an upset that they made it to Berlin so i wouldnt be surprised if they made it through.

I would say they are all equal. Obviously one big difference is that EMEA is more competitive region than KR, so teams are more battle hardened. And I have seen some people saying that VS may struggle against top NA and EMEA teams based on their playstyle.
