I don't know if I'd be more disappointed if TL scrapes their way into playoffs almost exclusively because Chinabucks ruined FW, or if they don't make it there at all

Well, if things work out like expected in paper (SKT>TL, G2>PVB, iG>FW, G2>TL, FW>PVB) then there will be a tiebreaker. So, either TL beats a stronger opponent or earns their spot through the tiebreaker. The only way one could say TL didn't earn it is if PVB beats FW.

I'm not saying that they wouldn't earn it. I'd just be super disappointed if they only earn it because Chinabucks neutered the Flash Wolves. Like I think we can all agree that TL wouldn't be 4th with the same Hanabi/Jungler/Maple/Betty/SwordArt team in the mix.

Like it would be one thing if they 2-0, PVB, 2-0 FW, then upset one of G2/SKT/iG, but they're clearly only going to barely skate into playoffs off the back of worse competition than usual.

That'd be like saying TL shouldn't be there at all because they were able to sign CoreJJ with NAMuns.

I could just as easily counter them getting by from worse competition by saying the higher rated teams are also better at MSI. China replaced Korea, Korea is more consistent as a #2 than China is, and EU is stronger than it's ever been.

Thrift Rivals*, like a thrift store. Or at least that's what I assumed

That's fair, but it just feels disappointing. I guess its just that NA isn't really getting better, the only team in TW just got worse

I might have misheard. Thrift rivals makes more sense.

As for the state of NA, I don't think it's in a terrible position and is being held down by the 1 representative format of MSI. Like old TSMs and C9 have shown, what wins NA might not be what pays off in international play. Korea and China will be Korea and China, but outside of G2 I haven't been too impressed with EU. I'm eagerly looking forward to Rift Rivals.
