when??
The only logical way is
Group 1
Guild
Loud
Xerxia
Northeption
Group 2
FPX
Optic
Drx
KRU
Otherwise they would be harming latam/br and kr/jp
nah i think if anything it'd be something like this but i'm only assuming i'm not the smartest but
Group A
Guild
Loud
Xerxia
Optic
Group B
FPX
DRX
KRU
Northeption
idk why but i think this one seems the most believable but like i said i'm just assuming
SEEDINGS:
SEED#1 LOUD
SEED#1 DRX
SEED#1 NTH
SEED#2 FPX
SEED#2 OPTIC
SEED#2 KRU
SEED#2 XERXIA
SEED#3 GUILD

SEED#3 GUILD
