loud 2-0 zeta
optic 2-1 boom
lev 2-1 prx

who said xset are favorites lol

he's not korean

saying 6 asian slots is like saying 7 american slots

i respect you sheahhhh

LMAO

group d is weaker than the other groups imo

you think that zeta will beat 2 of the teams out of loud, fnatic, and 100t?

drx also stomps kr too though

hopefully that would be so devastating if they got grouped lmao

rip prx

mada against sen

imo it would be jp. but you still have loud so don't worry.

yep but once the game gets released, they'll probably have the most priority tbh.

china last is inevitable though right? i agree with the list btw.

performance doesn't matter at all

yeah he was always decent but he's been so good these past games.

jonahp. he's so consistent and good

na: i like 100t but i don't think they'll do good on lan.
emea: g2
ea: i like nth as a team but i would prefer either a chinese or another korean team.

they already have the infrastructure and facilities in korea so why not

faze and guard

i want to see scream on lan but you're right. definitely m3c or maybe even oglu would be better lmao.

steel is part japanese? did not know that but i doubt he's getting dropped.

they started off so strong then got shit on

i think he meant how optic always gets 2nd place in na.

saying everyone expecting them to flunk out is a stretch but they exceeded expectations for me

nah it’s fine

group 2 would be a banger

keznit owns bronzil

reject 2-1

my guesses would be team secret, mith, and boom. there is also still a chance that riot makes it 12 slots for apac.

i don't even think edg is that good. they got lucky that ons had a roster change.

i mean even with yacine bottom frag, guild still looked quite decent against navi.

context?

riot wants orgs that will invest a lot and stay financially well like 8 years down the line and the korean orgs fit that criteria well compared to others. performance doesn't matter for franchising. geng didn't make the final stage of na franchising but did for apac/kr so its likely they move.

drx and damwon are basically guaranteed. the third slot is going to either geng or t1 if riot does decide to give another slot.

the forced lan environment also prevented many people from competing. i remember hearing from some pros that the cost of transportation and other things made it not worth it.

i wish lakia stayed with nuturn. that transfer destroyed nuturn and a lot of the competitiveness.

yeah i don't think 4 slots for south america is that bad. emea only getting 3 slots is what makes a lot of people mad.

i want to see scream on lan again but I wouldn’t mind navi winning either.

i really don't know

oh i forgot about that

tbh korea will definitely prosper under franchising especially when a lot of korean players from na/japan will come back with the asian league being rumored to be held in seoul idk why you would think that.

fusion probably won't win but they should at least get a map. nip did not impress me at all.

lmao

zeddy has so much impact

why is no one mentioning shao

they still can.

nuturn

nth 2-1
