Hot take: This Fnatic roster is the best roster the west has sent to worlds since the Huni/RO Fnatic, and unless they get royally dicked on by a group of death drawing should put on a banger of a performance.
Speaking of group draw, what's the most group of death group you guys think exists? My choices are KT/iG/TL/G2, or RNG/TL/GenG(or Afreeca)/G2, or Fnatic/GenG(or Afreeca for that matter)/iG/C9
EDIT: Easiest group would definitely be FW/100T/PhongVu/WildCard or a Fnatic/PhongVu/MAD/WildCard

KT and TL can't be in the same group. Probably something like KT/iG/G2/C9

Why can't they? Aren't KT tier 1 and TL tier 2, and from separate regions, also G2 and C9 can't be in the same group.
Wait it IS One tier 1, Two tier 2, and one Tier 3 per group with no team playing a team from their own region right?

Oh right, forgot NA Seed 1 is tier 2 now. So yeah I guess that'd be the worst.

I probably don't recognise a third of these logos, or close to half including the play-ins... Fnatic got a free group. FW could have gotten worse. RIP VItality.

Updated it to not use Riot's trash visuals that wash out the entirety of the logos and make you have to squint to see them.
Oh I didn't meant it against you, it's partly that I've followed LoL a lot less in the last year and a half so aside from Gen G. and Hanwha there aren't many of the new teams (and none of the Chinese ones aside from RNG and iG) whose logos I simply know to begin with.

A lot of them are hard for even me to make out because of the way riot washes out the details and all the colours of the logos haha. This is just an easier image for everyone.
