OpTic - they were underhyped going into the tourney + the Chet interview only made people want them to lose even more. But they were clearly really strong to anyone without a bias, and delivered.
LOUD - Lived up to the hype. Even overdelivered.
ZETA - Underhyped by anyone who didn't pay super close attention to the JP scene, but still exceeded expectations GREATLY for everyone. I guarantee you no one realistically expected ZETA to go on that run.
DRX - Actual fans didn't rate them highly. I myself thought Top 8 would be the best they could go, so they performed above expectations. Could have gone further but they broke down after that first loss. I think they proved their worth though.
Liquid - Performed according to expectations.
G2, KRÜ, Guard - Extremely unfortunate performance according to hype, Guard moreso than G2 because people rated G2 as chokers.
Xerxia, NiP, Fnatic - Performed to expectations, maybe even better in XIA's case.
Paper Rex - Exceeded expectations, but not by much. A lot of people rated them as dark horses and they delivered.
