Don't know who will take the third but there is no way C9 or AHQ advance. Group B 1. Longzhu 2.IMT 3. FNC. 4. Marines Fnatic can take second if IMT shits the bed or 4th if they shit the bed. Group C 1. SSG 2. RNG 3. G2 4. Turkey Rooting for G2 though. I think SSG and RNG are beatable. Group of Death /s 1. TSM 2. WE 3. FW 4. Misfits Taipeichingong's Revenge. I don't understand how group 4 is the group of death. In general, the team's are closest to each other in skill. If any team has a 3-0 day they should at worst be playing a win and in. Any of those four could get out of that group. IMO, group 1 is the group of death; you have 3 good teams that generally do well at worlds and have a history of being strong; and then you have C9. In group 1, one good team is not making semifinals; in group four, maybe one good team is making semifinals. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/FaYPDmY.png) A: Pretty standard* here, I think. Not much point in discussing. B: I'm not high on Fnatic at all, which is why I have them placed 4th. I think the prospect of them getting out of the group is laughable. C: Like group A, I think this is pretty standard*. D: This is going off of WE's play in the play-in stage and TSM getting to sit in Korea the whole bootcamp and scrim against any Korean team they can get a hold of. Maybe Misfits can make an upset and topple Flash Wolves. *barring China collapse trend. | ||

The smart bets are A - SKT EDG B - LZ IMT C - RNG SSG (coin flip) D - TSM WE But I will put C9 as 2nd on hope. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/VSAtgVU.png) Korean teams being first is a no-brainer for me as a Korean fanboy, but not too sure about the rest. I'll possibly change after watching some more games this weekend. Group B,C and D are toss ups for 2nd or third for me atm. Btw, is there a LL group, just like last time? | ||

I'd put (from most justifiable to wildest): G2 second, C9 second (above EDG), IMT last, FNC second Misfits second (tiebreakers due to some multi-way tie clusterfuck) , | ||

I don't think IMT last is actually that wild. Sure they're probably getting third, but the Marines are an odd bunch | ||

The only high pressure games they played they crumbled to TSM. The Marine's MSI performance and YG gives me enough confidence in GAM to say they could definitely get 3rd over IMT. Hell they just might be able to get out, but that's a pretty out there chance. SSG not advancing is 'as simple as' RNG showing up and 2-0ing them, and G2 splitting games with them, where G2 gets lucky and wins the tie breaker. Is that going to happen? Most likely not. Is G2 good enough to beat SSG in a best of 5? Probably not. Could they beat them in 2 separate games and advance because RNG put in the real work? I see it as possible | ||
