Team flair talking about form is funny

Realistically, I expect all of Bilibili, Trace, DRX, and Talon to be grouped 7/10 most of the time.
Fut barely beat the worst Leviathan has ever been to get out of Shanghai groups. Sen is experimenting with some odd shit that I don't like. 100T relies too much on a singular individual becoming a Demi-god to win just maps.
Fut, Sen, and 100T should also be grouped, unless they return to a great form or get in a bot group.
Vitality could falter if Sayf drops form, but Sayf is the only individual globally who drops 400 acs while not having fun, so I'll trust him. I could also see FPX dropping if they get a busted group.
Heretics should recover form, PRX should too. G2 and Lev look too good. Fnatic is grooving. EDG are on the up-and-up.
But in the end, it's Gen.G's tournament to lose, so what really does Groups matter for but for the kings first sacrifices.
