In what way is TS surprising except that they beat GENG once in a seeding match (and PRX once ig), as compared to GENG who went from being projected as mid-tier Pacific to the best team in the world?

No like they went undefeated stage 2 against a lot of mid-high tier teams

The only good team they beat was Gen.G tho? Pacific Group A was full of low tier teams

I guess teams like GE and BLEED are considered "mid-high" now?

I always thought GENG was a slept on team since the start of the season, i thought everyone else was just underestimating them but I didnt. Ever since Kick-off and Madrid though (apart from some weird losses) they have looked pretty strong throughout the year. Secret on the other hand i feel like have been underestimated throughout every part of the year and keep breaking those expectations. I really do hope they make Seoul, they do deserve it

PRX had never beaten Secret in their 2 most recent matches, ts had close matches with gen g before the madrid 13-15, it's not even a surprise. Gen G is far better, what I'm saying, it's not really a surprise at this point.

I think the surprise is RRQ rather than TS

Bleed is more an honorable mention. I just feel like their hype was really high and even disregarding yay, I thought this team had a decent amount of upset potential. Then they just fell apart.

GenG was the biggest surprise. T3xture, lakia and a guy from ranked being apart of the best team in the world was pretty incredible to see.

The biggest disappointment in APAC has to be zeta. Losing to dfm is just a symbolically new low 😭

I thought ZETA could've look decent, but after kick-off I set my bar low for them and I was right
