Hahaha Fnatic won't make it out of their group.

Group B and D look really boring.

A: Spicy, honestly the group I'm looking at closely, wonder if either C9 or GRF will flop, also GRF first real taste of the world stage is against a team that doesn't play like KR at all.

C9 should get destroyed even if they play their best but I'm worried about G2 dropping 2 or more games due to being too cocky.

You overestimate RNG, they are strong but they still have a tendency to play very bone headed 'all for Uzi' comps. They looked strongest when Xiaohu got to play carry champs, not Karma. They also play super standard like TL because they can't execute anything else, just watch the troll Uzi Quinn comp they ran, it had potential but they didn't know how to play it. If Fnatic plays their best, they can win, but it is a tough group.

Not commenting on Play-in groups, honestly should be pretty clear who is going to group stage.

Group A:
+ Show Spoiler +

hurr durr C9 and Griffin cuz C9 always makes it out of groups and LCK is legit again

When I look at this group, first thing I thought was '...ouch C9' until I realized that they almost always make it out of the groups.
G2 and Griffin stylistically should be pretty even, honestly they should both advance on paper, but Griffin were supposed to take the LCK title 3 times in a row, but didn't and G2 usually struggles in Worlds groups.
With that said, G2 and Griffin should advance!

Group B:
Not much to say about this group, if Clutch/DWG gets into this group then I'd say FPX and either one of Clutch/DWG/GAM. THe 3 of them all have similar styles (which is irregular plays and a very fast-paced early game.

Group C:
+ Show Spoiler +

Okay wtf if this? No way this wasn't rigged.....

SKT and RNG, I don't think there is a world where this FNC (and any play-in team) can topple SKT and RNG, all then to decide who wins the bo1 between the two.
SKT has lost the last bo1 against RNG (in RR last year when RNG was the best team coming into RR), but they won the bo5 before that (Worlds 2017)
i think SKT and RNG go 1-1, and 2-0 FNC and the play-in team, no problem.
which then leaves the Tie breaker, I still think SKT beats RNG, but not surprised if RNG takes it.
so yeah SKT then RNG

Group D:
TL advances easily, then depending on which IG shows up and if DWG goes into Group D, then either TL/DWG or TL/IG, don't think that TL will get eliminated even if DWG comes to their group.
so TL first, IG or DWG follows.

so G2, Griffin, FPX, GAM/DWG/Clutch, SKT, RNG, TL and IG/DWG will advance

My only crime is believing in all 3 to get here as first seeds
