group a : prx and edg
i think that kru have a chance bc they showed a really high ceiling, but i think zmjjkk and something really gonna carry their teams
group b: eg and t1
eg have a red carpet into playoffs free group, and t1 showed high potential at japan
group c: fnatic and nrg
fnatic world champs, and nrg usually do things the hard way but always make far runs into playoffs
group d: loud and drx
i think this group is the most unpredictable, because all teams on awful form, but i think that loud just got unlucky at masters whereas drx had role crisis, but it should be fairly easy, TL overrated and NAVI have fallen off this year
- DRX (they have to win eventaully they too talented, and they only scrimmed half as much at tokyo bc of role issues, Wako gets mvp) hopium x 100
- Fnatic (i think fnatic have just as much of a chance to win, i just don't want them to win everything this year, they're too good)
- NRG (i don't think they have enough to win it all, yay is better than ardis and som is really good, but marved energizes the team more)
- LOUD (again, i think that the original iteration of loud was much more together, something feels off with loud without bald legend and soundcloud rapper)
- EG (i think that at this point, teams know that demon1 is their win condition and will find ways to play around him, demon1 still my goat tho)
- EDG (zmjjkk can't win a tourney by himself, he'll be playing a 1v9)
- PRX (they always do bad at champs, hope something will change that but other teams are also too strong)
- T1 (saya and carpe only acceptable players here, i hope they do well but lets be real)
