G2 didn’t have a harder bracket tho, just because the records were closer doesn’t mean it was more difficult. M80 TGRD and TSM alone all easily make that group WAY harder
IMO M80 has looked a lot better consistently. It’s not unusual for single matches to not be held that highly fuckin EG shit on Optic last season but we ain’t gassing up EG for that.
Guard definitely is a great team but there’s a lot more that just their 1v1 going into these rankings
