For Secret vs VG, wouldn't it actually be more advantageous for Secret to lose?

Given that VG lost to BG, if Secret beats VG, VG has a shot at ending up 4th.

2nd and 3rd are on the other end of the bracket from Secret. If VG ends up 4th, Secret would meet VG at the Winner bracket semis.

Doesn't RTZ hate staying in China, and Zai isn't that hot on it himself? Even were Secret to get sponsored by LGD, I think they stay in EU.

I don't think they care about that, they probably want to finish 15-0

I'm pretty sure that Puppey is smart enough to value hiding strats over glory in group stage.

Which is precisely my point.

They get to hide their strats, learn about VG, place VG on the other side of the bracket. Its too good of an opportunity here.

I'm pretty sure that Secret is very capable of going 15-0 without hiding a single strat. Mainly because they had like total 20 different heroes played in those 14 games (and much less i believe).
