tl:dr - Fnatic is your only hope and the rest of EU and EMEA as a whole suck
two 1 team regions although NA reigns supreme and here's why
Pure retrospect and on paper, Fnatic is easily the better team making EU a better "1 team region" but thats only on paper, looking at the rest of the region
FUT made it out of a group with FPX and T1.... going head to head with both, they aint winning shit in playoffs
oh and they are from turkey which isn't in EU
How does a region with 4 teams (TL, NAVI, FNC, Giants) only have fnatic dominate their group and everyone else eliminated for a 25% success rate
NA with 2 teams (EG, NRG) had EG make it out going 2-0 and NRG going 1-2 for a 50% success rate.
- EU just needed 1 more team to advance to tie things up it wouldnt have been hard considering EU had half of the teams in group D and none of them made it
Lets be real when I say EMEA as a whole including FUT is the weakest region, Fnatic gonna win a few games and maybe the tournament but the rest of the teams are not doing anything.
Pacific have a genuine chance to make it to the grand finals with PRX and top 4 with DRX picking up the pace.
China with EDG can easily make top 4 as well with BLG maybe picking up a win or two
Americas with LOUD and EG can easily make a statement with BOTH teams making it top 4
EMEA having fnatic roll over everyone and FUT go out in two games
