Id put FW and AHQ over C9 and H2K I think.
D I have no clue besides Splyce not making it

So let's say in an alternate world G2 didn't screw MSI up and was a Number 1 seed, replacing Flashwolves. G2 would be against SKT, IMAY and C9 rather than Rox, CLG and ANX. I think they can be pretty happy about that (I didn't look back to see which teams were bumped as that might have changed things).
I'm going with the shocking and daring strategy of assuming the korean players are the best and lms 1st seed being better than NA 3rd seed
I don't know if there's a really stinky FW game I haven't seen that's got everyone valuing C9 over them, but historically LMS 1st seed has been a good deal better than NA 1st seed, much less NA 3rd?

Cloud 9 should be NA 2nd seed, and can go head to head with TSM. CLG only got second because they won the spring split. They wouldn't have qualified without that.
NA as a region looks very strong this year, closer to 2015 EU rather than 2015 NA, and C9 tends to show up pretty well at big tournaments

This was only true in S2. The difference the past few years has been relatively small.
Also C9 is stronger right now than CLG, and you also have Impact in the form of his life right now. Group B is the one I'm having the hardest to call - any 2 of SKT/FW/C9 could advance in possibly any order, and I'm considering doing something wonky there to differentiate my bracket.
Fuck, in that group IMay is also a massive wildcard.
Like, Group D is the hardest group, but I think it's also the clearest what order the teams should be in (even if you accept there's a decent chance that those results won't happen).

Okay. So my wife is dressing up as Dino Gnar for World's. She knit some awesome looking ears, has a dino costume, has a boomerang, and will be bringing our plush gnar.
So here's my question: can you think of any sign slogans (particularly "Gnary" slogans) we could do to get her on the air? I think she'd enjoy that. We'll be there on the first Saturday, possibly the second saturday or sunday (though the saturday is super expensive right now given it's TSM day.)
