Pool 1 - Berlin champ, EMEA #1, NA #1, KR (Gambit, Acend, Sentinels, Vision Strikers)
Pool 2 - BR #1, SEA #1, LATAM, EMEA #2 or NA #2 (Vikings, X10, KRU, Fnatic / Envy)
Pool 3 - NA #2 or EMEA #2, JP, BR #2, SEA #2 (Envy / Fnatic, Crazy Raccoon, Vivo Keyd, Secret)
Pool 4 - LCQ champs (Liquid, Cloud9, Furia, Full Sense)
I don't think Vikings / X10 deserve to be so high seeded but it's what Riot will do most likely
Weakest possible group:
Sentinels
X10
Crazy Raccoon
Furia

Bruh that Pool 1 shouldn't ever happen imo, it would just fuck the others up and bring attention only there, plus 2 of those teams would be eliminated and honestly nobody would want to see those teams out so early
Edit: mb didn't realize pools and groups aren't same thing

I don't think they're saying that that is a 'group'. A group and a pool are different. The pool is just a collection of all the teams at a particular skill level. Since all the teams in Pool 1 are the best of the best, they'll all be split into 4 different groups. Essentially a group will have 1 team from Pool 1, 2, 3 and 4.
