On one hand VGJ.S don't have their coach helping them draft, but on the other OG has their coach playing offlane.

Seriously tho, let's go OG!

svg is their drafter anyway

OG being ranked dead last was mostly my fault. But to be fair, it was between that and like, rank 16, as we knew about the same amount from them as we did serenity. Qualifier teams are hard to rank.

I generally feel meh to negative about OG, but I guess I'm alright with n0tail finally breaking out of his TI rut into the top 6 for the first time.

Not sure I would have put OG 18 due to the caliber of players they have but it's not really an indefensible ranking tbh, and I wouldn't have put them any higher than like 13-14 anyway. People fail to understand the point of a PR in general though. It's not really meant to be a prediction of the tournament but more of a power level snapshot coming in.

I mean I'm not the one to forgive since I didn't do it, I'm just saying I don't necessarily think OG being somewhere in the 14-18 range was a bad call

Yeah, the one to forgive would be me. And I doubt OG was bothered, as they said they liked being considered an underdog lol

i wouldve put iG 18th fwiw but i was like one of 2 EUs at the meeting and iG ended up 17th-18th anyway lul
still think VGJT wouldve been 17th if they werent in the same group as the 18th team in this scenario

Yeah, the groups wound up being weird. Pain were definitely better than ig, but group luck. (They were still prob gonna lose in 1st or second loser's though)

After watching them, IG definitely deserved 18th. Hadn't seen much of them, but they did somehow make it to TI. Maybe the china quals weren't as hard as people were making them out to be? Is my overall takeaway
