Group Stage predictions

Now that we know the last team and South America seedings, what are your predictions for the group stage?

My prediction is that the groups will be:

Group A
FNC
DRX
ZETA
NIP

Group B
TL
OPTC
KRU
XIA

Grp A - FNC, ZETA
Grp B - OPTC, KRU

What do you think?

the only condition for the group draw is probably there will be no 2 emea team on the same group right? or is there more condition?

I think that's the only condition.

lmao

feel like the groups should be more like zeta and nip as 4th seeds emea top 2 as first seeds or atleast just not allowed in the same group. Feel like the only way zeta are getting a win in groups is if xerxia turn out to be terrible or if they get matched with nip.
Hope both sa teams are not in the same group either. But it depends on who riot see as the lowest seed. Fnatic should have the highest seed in groups so should be in the group with the lowest seed. Wonder if they'd consider emea #3 as the second first seed or one of kru/optic

group a:
fnatic
optic
xerxia
zeta

group b:
Liquid
kru
Drx
nip

If they do pools ig it'll be like
pool1: Fnatic, Kru, Liquid, Optic
Pool2 : Xerxia, Drx, zeta, nip
just depends if they would seed drx over the 3rd emea or 2nd na seed.

Any combination could be cool but want to see xerxia bs optic, Kru against fnatic and drx agaisnt optic/liquid

group b fr bout to be a group of death with liquid, optic, drx and xerxia tbh tho.
fnatic and kru in group a where kru beats another br team and zeta beats the worst br team again dejavu
realistic groups with how the groups scripts seem to be written as.

group a:
fnatic
kru
zeta
nip

group b:
liquid/optic
optic /liquid
drx
xerxia

preds in order:
a: fnatic, kru, zeta, nip
b: drx, xerxia, optic, liquid

Totally a coincidence lol

I hope so, BR always meets way to early with KRU

zeta out of groups is giga cap imo but it would be cool

The last preds are about ranking? I don't think Xerxia qualifies over Optic. I know surf isn't a big downgrade to the team, but envy losing was mostly their underestimation of X10 and I don't see that happening again

This isn't ranking of teams in groups. I just predicted the groups before they were revealed.

BirdB0i [#24]

Group A
FNC
DRX
NIP
ZETA

NIP > zeta

Group B
TL
OPTC
KRU
XIA

But I still think they are in the right order of ranking
