Group Draws balance

Imo:
CN: Alpha = Omega
AMER: Alpha <= Omega
EMEA: Alpha < Omega
APAC: Alpha > Omega

I think China has the most balanced group draws at least on paper they match with their counterparts nicely.

I think Americas is probably the next most balanced. Other than ENVY and LOUD who I think will just be worse than their counterparts, the rest seems pretty even.

EMEA's groups could be balanced but TH are still wildly inconsistent and as rosters M8 and FNC have less experience been together for less time compared to counterparts their in BBL/FNC.

APAC is the least balanced shit ever, like do you mean to tell me that one of DRX/GENG are missing playoffs meanwhile FS/DFM will sneak their way through. Or that T1/RRQ will start ahead of 1st/2nd at masters. Like obviously its on those teams for not doing better regionally but still makes me wish that draws and seeding were done afters masters.

EDG
xi lai
wolves
trace
DRG
NOva is not balanced at all. Group omega is fked.

Tyloo gonna win Alpha easily.

AG and BLG are better than literally every team in Omega. Tyloo are weaker than DRG, yes, but they aren't fodder, they literally went map 3 vs both DRG and EDG. FPX, TEC and JDG are actual teams too while Wolves, Trace and Nova are half a team at best

My hot take is Furia gets grouped in omega they don’t make it to playoffs

When will you guys stop underestimating FURIA?

What ever riot did to get Pacific Alpha group needs to be studied. Holy generational L for 5 of 6 teams to be good enough to qualify

eg sen and kru ain’t better than them

realistically they should only be concerned about nrg and 100t

3 teams with no int exp in group alpha..

Only nova is missing that in omega.

100T’s core peaked for one event and fell off and are manifesting the same thing to happen for furia

T1 getting free pass again.

Bro owning in kick off and owning in a stage is different. Your opponent has a whole week to prep for you.

Trace? Half a team? More like, goated.

I think Furia Kru Sen one of them gets grouped

FURIA has more time to rest and prepare for stage 1

Prase [#14]

I think Furia Kru Sen one of them gets grouped

No way you think EG is better than any of those 3 teams especially FURIA and SEN

Alpha is a far better group than omega imo. Wolves and trace have really fallen off (and edg and xlg have too). Nova is just dogshit

Oh no EG gets grouped fs

I am taking about the 2nd team who might get grouped

catNmouse [#15]

True. Let’s see!

Fpx & blg both are washed..

Prase [#19]

True. Let’s see!

I think they lose to NRG and maybe 100T since those teams barely use yoru if at all and they had good placements in kickoff but that’s about it

DEFINITELY NOT 6. 5 maybe but no way TS will ever be good enough to qualify

Nuh-uh, they are

5 of 6, did u not read bro?

Yeah fpx is trash but blg is still good, ag is reigning champions, i think jdg or tec can do something in playoffs (whichever of them makes it out of the group), and tyloo is very underrated, I think theyll make an international this year

geng is shit bro and dfm/fs arent

genuinely wouldnt be surprised if geng wins 1 match in alpha, and even if they were in omega they wouldnt beat dfm/fs

Prase [#18]

Oh no EG gets grouped fs

I am taking about the 2nd team who might get grouped

kru and eg fs

remember seeing that the pacific ones were rigged
but knowing riot they're all probably rigged except china

x_knowitall39_x [#28]

Gen.G are shit but I thought they'd be a lot worse but the fact they were almost able to beat global and put up a fight vs T1 has me thinking that maybe that team has potential. Either way from what I saw of FS in kickoff, I can say FS were and are overhyped garbage.
