CLG could maybe actually get out of that group if they can beat g2 somehow but c9 is completely hosed so im looking forwards to that.

Were there some good reactions on the Sneaky stream?

Mostly making fun of the cringey reaction cams

Also Groups Rankings:
Group A: gonna be a Rox and G2 Pound Town. Giving even odds on CLG losing both of their games to Albus Nox
Group B: The absolute hardest group
Group C: The only chance a wildcard team has to make it out of groups this year
Group D: A toss up between TSM/SSG/RNG. Completely dependent on whether or not anyone throws to Splyce

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
tsm needs to be able to beat samsung/rng if they're a semi's calibre team so I don't really see a big deal here.

TSM is 100% better than RNG and samsung this year and I really can't see them doing worse than splitting with them.

I think RNG will smoke Group D but I think TSM will take 2nd in it.

My hope is that INTZ gets second in Group C.

It's not, they drew the worst second seed but Flash Wolves is by far the weakest #1 seed.

I think C9 actually has a chance of making it out even better than TSM. FW/IMAY are very weak early game and Impact is better than both MMD/Amazingj.

If H2K is using Freeze its a free pass for AHQ as 2nd. Freeze can be a player but hes injured and form has been awful.

And then Huhi outteamfights him anyway with a gold disadvantage.

yeah no i agree with this now to the point where I think C9 and TSM are both capable of getting out of their groups. Instant reactions are super bad.

verb the adjective noun

I'm kind of new to watching the Worlds Scene, but TSM would almost be a lock if they were the tier 1 in group A, B, or C wouldn't they?

EDIT: er, I guess the groups would be different, cause they can't be with CLG or C9, but hypothetically...
