In what way is TS surprising except that they beat GENG once in a seeding match (and PRX once ig), as compared to GENG who went from being projected as mid-tier Pacific to the best team in the world?

No like they went undefeated stage 2 against a lot of mid-high tier teams

The only good team they beat was Gen.G tho? Pacific Group A was full of low tier teams

I always thought GENG was a slept on team since the start of the season, i thought everyone else was just underestimating them but I didnt. Ever since Kick-off and Madrid though (apart from some weird losses) they have looked pretty strong throughout the year. Secret on the other hand i feel like have been underestimated throughout every part of the year and keep breaking those expectations. I really do hope they make Seoul, they do deserve it

GenG was the biggest surprise. T3xture, lakia and a guy from ranked being apart of the best team in the world was pretty incredible to see.

Bleed is more an honorable mention. I just feel like their hype was really high and even disregarding yay, I thought this team had a decent amount of upset potential. Then they just fell apart.

I guess teams like GE and BLEED are considered "mid-high" now?

The biggest disappointment in APAC has to be zeta. Losing to dfm is just a symbolically new low 😭

I thought ZETA could've look decent, but after kick-off I set my bar low for them and I was right

PRX had never beaten Secret in their 2 most recent matches, ts had close matches with gen g before the madrid 13-15, it's not even a surprise. Gen G is far better, what I'm saying, it's not really a surprise at this point.

I think the surprise is RRQ rather than TS

Thx bro. Hoping that FPX also have a good showing in Champions.
