Berlin Upsets?

Everyone making tier lists with NA/EMEA/VS all top 8, not even considering the other regions, are you all just clouded by Iceland results, or just simply not watch these other regions play? Don't get me wrong, these 8 teams are indeed most probable to do very well, I don't think any of them get swept out of groups, but I also don't think that all 8 of them make playoffs.

Are these tier lists being made simply with the thought of "if this doesn't happen it's just an upset" ? I am genuinely curious.

I have watched almost all the qualifiers(except LATAM) and currently NA+EU+VS are far ahead of the other teams. Teams from other regions can definitely cause upsets and even reach the top 8, but I'm sure they won't win Berlin.

Zeta Division and Paper Rex/Bren might be able to do something. But Zeta would have to be the best they've ever been bc they don't use gimmicks like v1 did and PRX and Bren have to have their duelists pop off. They always pop off. But they need to pop off super hard. Which is just unlikely. Because there are super good duelists at Berlin anyways who can probably at least match the SEA duelist carries.

Also HL and VK look decent. I'd put HL over VK personally but that's just my opinion. I think HL should at least get top 8 though.
