So make your bets guys

The redraw is bcs:

1 - They want some team to have an easier path

OR

2 - They want a specific match in order to have better audience

the redraw is because they made a mistake

2

G2 T1 elim match
M8 TL regional matchup
XLG EDG to guarantee one CN team getting 9th-10th
NRG PRX the actually hype matchup

They saw the china teams playing g2 and t1 and pressed panic button

2

This is a big boy stage ( Leo) , Jake Sin has no say to help T1 get easier path. its about ratings

they got prx vs m8 which is $$$
nrg vs TL which is free engagement to farm
g2 vs edg which is even easier engagements to farm
and t1 vs a (supposedly) free pass like xlg (nobody gaf bout xlg)

If I was riot i would be gushing over these matchups

they fucked up the draw, i think the Chile announcer did some mindtrick on Nick from Americas
