I missed the first few matches, what are the odds that Vega (or anyone in group B) could beat FW in the bo5?

from watching them play today I don't think any of the teams in group B are very good, I haven't watched much Flash Wolves this year but I think they will pretty easily beat whoever wins in B

I'm still mad that the two best teams in play ins are in the same group AND play the stronger of the two major region teams.

yeah its really disappointing, either PVB or FB would wipe the floor with the teams in group B

Beyond that, I feel like FB or PVB could give FW a run for their money too, but now they won't get the chance

Just remember that group B is significantly weaker than the rest of the field

I don't watch LCS, but I expect TL to crush their series. Would be sad otherwise.

I want them to lose just because I would find it hilarious, but yeah realistically it just shouldn't happen

Makes a lot of sense. Don't have to spend all that money shipping people over and boarding them. Probably a lot easier to get work visas done bringing people to the USA for the company they work for than tossing them out to other countries.

Yeah, dragon fight looked good at start, ended very poorly because PVB are willing to go all in, TL did not expect the suicidal Kai'Sa to clean up their team.

True, the moment TL decided to play a bit more reactive and fully exploit PVB mispositioning, they cruised through the game. But when they tried to force PVB mistakes at the start, they were losing a lot of ground.

Pretty sure that 15 out of the 20 TL kills were PVB players being in a horrible position, not expecting or understanding that if they die, it will cost them a big objective. TL doesn't need to do anything except sit and wait, they're doing it clumsily but it doesn't matter because PVB looks like they play without a win condition. These games have been pretty boring so far, if PVB could somehow translate their early picks into something, they could stomp TL, but they can't even get turrets.

Second series turned out to be more of a stomp, but I enjoyed it more because VEG had some smart moments, PVB looked pretty brain dead in comparison. Really curious which of the two is better, I honestly place my bet on VEG if they don't fall to the PVB aggression. Group A looked more competitive, but VEG looks like a mini G2, willing to try more unorthodox strategies, even if it looked like cheese at times.
