Going into champs as a fourth seed has proven to work out for some teams, e.g. DRX 2025 3rd place, MIBR & TH 2025 5-6th, SEN 2024 4th place. Some mix of having time to prep and an underdog mentality seems to go far in a tourney like champs, in addition to having experienced players on each of these rosters.
Just don't be surprised when G2 makes a run (copium)
