Hypothetically you could have 1 team at 4-0, 1 team at 3-1, and 3 teams at 1-3 which would result in tiebreakers of some variety meaning that TL isn't guaranteed out if they lose to OG, just basically guaranteed.

Also if they do win against OG 3 teams going 2-2 is possible as well (navi going 0-4)

Yes, in that case it depends on their tiebreaker scenarios. If they take head-to-head Liquid is in a good spot, since the beat OG and Na'vi.

Man, what an utterly disappointing day of games for Liquid. Not only did they lose the draft in every single game except the first, but they played so pathetically poorly that there was never any hope of overcoming the draft disadvantage. Attempting ganks that had no hope of success, taking teamfights they had no hope of winning, getting consecutively picked off under the same ward, stacking the few stuns they have when they really can't afford to, and above all the chain feed whenever there was the slightest glimmer of hope that they could turn the game around. I wouldn't have minded if they had lost after putting up a fight against an opponent that just played too well, but that wasn't the case. They beat themselves.

Hopefully tomorrow goes better. This tournament is too important to choke in. By playing as poorly as they are they're dismissing the argument for a direct TI invite that they made in Starladder.

All I know is that Liquid has recovered from multiple horrendous early group stage performances so I'm willing to bet Epicenter won't be the exception

So if Liquid beat OG and Navi they are through no matter what, even if OG beat secret they would be tied in score with Liquid but Liquid would have the head to head

Holy shit they always like to do it the hard way. What a game though. The best series in the past month were all Liquid. Liquid vs IG twice, Liquid Vs TNC and now vs OG! Awesome.
Now if we can assume they don't screw up against NaVi we should be through. Or at least make it a tiebreaker.

I swear this Liquid team knows how to make the group stages more butt clenching than the main stage

According to Noxville's Twitter, who knows the rules, Secret needs to win 2/3 of their series for Liquid to have a good chance or they can lose every single series.
