G2, Guard, Paper Rex and KRÜ/LOUD will lose round 1

The other teams will get warmed up and momentum from the group stage and these teams will be cold... Also these teams aren't even for sure the best in the tournament or their region...

It can be argued Fnatic is better than G2, OpTic better than Guard, Xerxia better than Paper Rex... LOUD better than KRÜ...

they arent prep heavy teams, right? fnatic, optic and drx are the 3 most prep heavy teams in the tournament...

you are right tho, it still will help them... not sure if it will be enough
