Was gonna post this 5 hours ago but I had apush hw to do
Fnatic
RRQ
BLG
MIBR
Tbh this group is a much bigger question mark than the other groups so everything here is a shot in the dark
Fnatic did NOT have a successful stage 2 in the slightest, almost every game they won was down to the wire and the games they lost were relatively one-sided, but in my opinion, this is one of the biggest examples of burn-out this season. They look tired and for good reason, They made a deep run in Toronto, then they chose to try in the ewc two weeks later, and couldn't innovate anything for stage 2, five days after the ewc. I think now with ample time to rest and strengthen the stratbook for champs, they will come back swinging.
RRQ looked pretty decent in pacific, and Jemkin has the ceiling to farm everyone, but this team will drop if the others can't stay consistent
BLG should on paper be higher due to being China's stage 2 winners, and I might not have the best read on China, but they absolutely choked playoffs at Toronto, and now they have to play in the same group as Fnatic for the third time in a row. Who knows Rushia might prove me wrong but I don't think this team makes playoffs
MIBR have had so much time to prep but unless someone else besides Cortezia can bring the vibes of this team they are cooked
