Good part: No more 2 european teams in 1 group
Bad part: Riot keeps giving Vision Strikers a dogshit seed cuz they expected korea to be bad at valorant and brazil to be good so they only gave them 1 slot and there will always be a group of death because of this
Predictions:
Group A: 1st Acend, 2nd Envy (x10 going home and vivo keyd might have a chance depending on how much of an impact mwzera makes but probaby still wont be able to beat these 2 monster teams ngl)
Group B: 1st Liquid 2nd Sentinels (Furia is the worst out of the 4 clearly and KRU could have a chance if Sentinels plays like they did in Masters 3 or if KRU looks incredible and finally lives up to the hype)
Group C(XD): 1st Gambit 2nd Vikings (This is a hard one but since Secret are playing bad and Crazy Racoonn are not so strong imo Vikings should make it to playoffs, either way whoever gets to play against 2nd seed of this group will get free semifinals so doesnt matter who goes through)
Group D: 1st Cloud9(xeta gonna show vision strikers who is boss) 2nd Vision Strikers (Fnatic could make it through since they had a lot of time to prep and its probably something mental (if not just saving strats or something like that) and start playing well on LAN, it has happened many times in csgo so could happen here I guess)
