Genuinely speaking, I can see any of these teams make it out of this group. Gen G is an obvious pick and should be on your first seed if you're not a troll.

The rest are all toss-ups in my opinion. While the Chinese scene has been memed for a while, FPX looked pretty legit in Shanghai and I'm sure they've only improved since then.

People like to hype up TH due to their run in Shanghai but for the most part it was Wo0t's fantastic performance that hurled them over the fence.

Since then, they've regressed a little bit with MiniBoo still trying to regain his kickoff form. They took Gen G to map 5 but that series was never close if you actually watched it. They're still a very solid team but I predict that if they are going to make it out of groups, it'll have to be through a run in uppers. If they get to lowers, I think they get bounced out.

Probably going to be the best group to watch because every game will be fought tooth and nail.

FPX barely lost that map to Heretics to get eliminated in Shanghai, they definitely looked solid. In Stage 2 however their regional split performance leaves a lot to be desired. I do agree that this will be a very fun group to watch. I can definitely see FPX edging out a win over Heretics

I don't follow the Chinese scene so I wasn't even aware of a regression but honestly, I still see a world where they are contenders. I feel like TH are going to be slow to start and that could leave room for a strong start on the side of FPX.

fpx lost to heretics and geng, the 2 best teams in the tournament. Saying they were top 3 will be a bit delusional but the fact is that they can win any team in the world if they cook something like they did in shanghai

I unironically think this is probably the best group they could've gotten. They're already familiar with the foundations of each team since they've played against them already. Sure there'll be changes here and there but they'll have an idea of what the players tendencies are. It'd be cool if they made it out.
