Smart of the liquipedia guy to put hellraisers and infamous at the bottom so they won't have to move them later

Group A only has one really bad team, Group B has three, or five if you count OG and IG who I expect to seriously underperform this event.

I think HR should do decently well actually. They've been bootcamping in the Summit house for a while now so they've at least been scrimming the other teams in NA.

TI performance isn't so much about previous results versus who you actually bootcamped with and how well you can adapt in the tournament. TI5 EG and CDEC were definitely early scrim partners after CDEC won the wild card. Then TI6 DC and Wings were both bootcamping at the Summit house scrimming each other. I'm not saying HR TI7 winners but I don't think they'll be the wet fart 18th place that everybody has them pegged as either.

I want to see this. I want to see TI games on the most hilariously garish terrain. Throw in the custom weather effects on it too, gently caress it.

EG looks ok to make it through to the UB but who knows.

Group A looks like the fun games to watcj and Group B has a lot of grudgematches.

What time is it?
The groups looks surprisingly even to me, which feels like a first. Which team is going to unexpectedly bomb hard and barely squeak into the lower bracket? Can't say secret or og, those are too obvious.

Rubick has much more flavor than Pudge as well, the possibilities for his arcana are amazing. I don't know how you could vote for Pudge.
