is honestly Group C. Group D has two teams in a slump (NAVI, DRX) and another two who underperformed in Tokyo (TL, LOUD). Therefore, although you could have called it THE GROUP OF DEATH pre-Tokyo, it cannot be considered the toughest group. I think it is the second toughest group, though.
Group C’s has only one “weak” team (BLG, although they could pull of an upset for sure), with two favorites (FNC, NRG) and one revitalized team (ZETA). This group is the most competitive in my opinion, although FNC could just stomp their way through. The other two groups are honestly on the weaker side. There is one clear favorite to go through for Groups A and B (PRX, EG), as well as two teams who definitely have a good chance to make it through (EDG, KRÜ, T1, FUT).
TLDR: GROUP TOUGHNESS RANKING
- C
- D
- A
- B
