So... my pick'ems are perfect for the Knock-out stage

Is it just me or has it been pretty obvious what will happen so far? To me, this is feeling comparable to how likely it is that NA and EU will become one, OFFICIALLY RECOGNISED region called WEST where all the collective teams face each other regularly throughout the year as they would within their separate regions. I am aware that something like this was jokingly passed around this worlds group stage, but it is not officially recognised as the joining of 2 regions into 1 for all future events.
