After the draw my predictions are MAD and LGD top their groups and instantly get out, TL and UoL get second, so TL vs Talon and UoL vs Supermassive for the other two spots

Man, even China group draws are up tempo. Previous years felt like they took forever.

And with that NA's hope to advance out of groups is confirmed zero. Zero chance TSM makes it out over Fnatic/Gen.G and Fly is dead on arrival with Top and DRX.

Even with the assumption Liquid makes it out of Play Ins, they're forced into A or B, which isn't going to possible either

I also just realized this means that most likely the groups are

C: TSM/FNC/Gen.G/LGD
D: Top/DRX/FQ/MAD

Group A: Looks fairly easy for G2 and SN, because 4th spot will not be a KR, CN or EU team.
Group B: 2 of my top 3 teams in one group, but this isn't going to be a group of death so they shouldn't be worried. Poor RGE.
Group C: FNC and GenG probably prefer each other over the likes of TES/DWG/JDG. Since LGD is likely going to be in this group, it's actually the toughest group to get out of, most evenly matched group at Worlds.
Group D: TES gold lead @ 20 min vs DRX is good indicator for how likely they are going to win Worlds.

Top 2 teams EU got fairly easy draws, CN and KR likely to get 3 seeds through, NA only have one realistic chance to make it out of groups (Group C), since TL will end up in Group A (hard) or B (impossible).

Gotta say, having 4 China and 4 EU makes group structure really rigid and predictable, kinda takes some of the spectacle off of group draws.

I agree, but I understand why they had to do it this way given no MSI and no VCS teams. Next year should be back to normal from my understanding.

Poor Fly Quest

Looking forward to see someone crash and burn in TSM vs Fnatic. Dream scenario would be GenGarbage sneakily replacing Gen.G and both Western teams advancing, but it's hard to be that optimistic.

Talon is having a hard time with Visas and quarantine, so they've gotten Unified and Kongyue from ahq and dee from machi as a substitute. From the looks of it Dee will have to play for Unified for a match or two as well, then the roster gets back together for the main event should they qualify.

Sucks for Talon in general, and sucks for the other teams in their group that LGD is also there so they're unlikely to get 1st and capitalize on the weakness. Also the message specifically thanks Flash Wolves, who I thought dissolved as an organization? Seems super weird they stuck around the scene but didnt even try to get into PCS

Why did Westerners choose to practice on the Chinese server knowing Koreans and Chinese play on the Korean server?

Good question, I wondered too. The macro is better on high mmr KR than the super server, and watching streams it becomes apparent there's an unholy number of otp players. Seeing Fiora and Kata every second game kind of blows. There are also a fair number of games I've seen where it really does feel like one person is either boosted or griefing.

Games are still fun to watch, there's a lot of crazy mechanics, and it's good lane practice. I'm personally surprised how Bjerg seems to win lane and even macro almost every game, nothing flashy he just plays so clean. Meanwhile Bwipo is go big or go home, he's trying the outplay even when it's dumb.

I heard it was because they were only given accounts to the Chinese server, not the Korean server? Kinda interesting as it's definitely been fun watching the superserver shenanigans like Pinoy and the Chinese streamers.

Yeah, they rely on accounts from Riot. If they wanted to play on KR they would've needed to rank up their account without the inflated MMR.

I thought it was because access to high MMR KR accounts was delayed, they would still have gotten them. After all, all the pros played on KR when it was there last time, I doubt Riot would only let them have one account in CN.

The super server is definitely fun to watch, but the macro quality is different to Challenger KR. Stomp games aren't restricted to either region though, it's funny seeing a DRX duo or Knight go 0/10.

What are we thinking pre games? I think Play in A could have any of MAD, TL and SuperMassive in any of the top 3 spots. Group B should have LGD in 1st pretty easy, with either UoL or chimera PSG in 2nd and the other in 3rd
