Upsets at 2023 Champs

Group D)
DRX goes underdog mode in this tournament. They will lose against LOUD and then will qualify for playoffs through lower bracket.
Group C)
BLG wins against NRG but get eliminated when it comes to their rematch in lower bracket.
Group B)
T1 goes on a hot run and wins against EG in upper bracket, making them qualify for playoffs. EG proceeds to win against FUT in a dominant fashion.
Group A)
No upsets here. Which is surprising, considering that the group is stacked.

P.S: I just realized that I started from group D and that all the upsets are from the Pacific teams. (I swear I'm not biased...)
Also let me know if some of these aren't considered upsets :)

DRX understandable, since they are always known to be group stage demon
It might happen but highly unlikely
No. EG grouped just because of 2nd place curse.
Giants and EDG will come out of Group A, PRX always did bad when they start at group stages

By always you mean once.
Also it's irrelevant since the team is completely different

Lock//IN (Far-fetched but yeah)

Also, I believe the word "always" is correct here since they have never qualify to playoffs through group stage

I mean could you even imagine the amount of hate "something" would get if they ends up getting grouped? that's literally the only reason why I'm happy to be proven wrong x_x

I thought about it. But that'd be too crazy. I think we should consider it an upset if FPX even win a map off of EG

i mean its not impossible for fpx to win a map off EG (if they ban fracture, which they should considering its fpx 2nd worse map)
i can see fpx winning on lotus...we will see

Group C
Fnc beat zeta

Nrg beat fnc
Zeta beat blg

That's the least likely scenario if you exclude BLG getting out of groups

Group C has the biggest upset potential if Zeta beat NRG in the lower bracket final. EG not qualifying in Group B is an even major upset, but less likely.
