Like, I don't "hate" him, but post-lung he just couldn't play at the level he needed to. He's still probably the best shotcaller the west has ever had, and among the best in the world.

Last part are the truest words ever spoken.

If there could be an official 6th spot for shotcallers, Hai would have that spot permanently.

Sure. But it's not like he didn't try to leave, and his presence enabled his team to make worlds.

What you're saying is both correct and not germane to my point that Balls and Hai being replaced makes this C9 stronger.

Idk, I can understand Group A, but Group C looks like it'd have some interesting games.

Who's got the MS pick'em set up yet?

PEDIT: I think that all four have a reason to watch, at least for NA/EU. G2 vs. CLG, can C9 come to be 2nd, will H2k make it to 2nd, and can Splyce do anything at all.

TSM lost 2 non conditional coinflips to get the worst 2 of the remaining 4 teams possible during their draws, and then lost a 60-40 unfavoured odds chance to draw a wildcard to get their worst draw in Pool 3.

TSM dodged SKT which was the only team that drawing would put their quarterfinal spot into jeopardy if they live up to their hype. Like... it's possible TSM gets second in this group, but if they get third they will have very much disappointed. Splyce is the hardest Group 3 draw they could have gotten, of course. But TSM's fate is very much in their own hands.

I mean, I agree this is not the best possible draw (what would that even be, anyways? TSM/Nox/H2K/AHQ?), but it's far better than, like, TSM/SKT/one of G2 or RNG/INTZ, which is probably the worst possible draw they could get or something.

This is definitely TSM's group to lose, whether by getting 2nd or not advancing at all, and it's Splyce's and Samsung's to win.

splyce sux. thats a 3 man race that tsm should be in control of though.

all the groups are interesting.

tsm beat skt in the leaked scrim set and all the games they lost were close, but skt always kicks up to like 29/10 during worlds so bleh.

Group A feels boring since its just a battle for that 2 seed. Incoming region>region spam should one team sweep the other.

B- Thisll be the most fun group for me. Realistically any team can advance tho I expect IMay to struggle the most.

C- This feels like the most boring group for me? idk. I guess the battle for second seemsgood, but H2K feels really solid for the spot imo.


picks-
A:ROX/G2
B:SKT/C9
C: EDG/H2K
D: TSM/SSG
