even in worlds 2021, there were 3 korean teams and one chinese team in the semis. everyone expected one of the korean teams to win, but EDG won the tourney
literally the same scenario C9 was the only NA team and C9 was 3rd seed eliminated at the second bracket. in Champions C9 can be considered as 3rd NA seed, was eliminated at the second bracket. like just trust me KRU is winning it all
