Pretty sure there was somebody who called China overrated... Who was it...?
Oh wait, that was me. Huh.
Looks like I was right.

Well to be honest both LGD and iG are known for being very inconsistent, they definitely played horrible so far but it has only been 2 games so don't draw your conclusions too early. Also alot of hype was justified with EDG winning MSI and they lost to both LGD and iG in their LPL, so people had a reason to rate them highly despite being aware of their weaknesses.
IG lost to an NA team. That is literally the worst thing that they could do in their group. LGD got steamrolled by KT, and they were supposed to be the dominator of Group D. Hell, even EDG looked meh against SKT.
LGD got outpicked hard, iG has known for being very v ery inconsistent, everyone expected them to drop a few games in their group, let's see how they do against AHQ and in their rematches vs FNC and C9...if you watched LPL you would know what they are capable of when things are going well. I totally agree that China has looked really really weak so far, but it is way too early to count them out.
Chinese problem is that their plans have been basically thrown out of the window, and they have been really bad on adapting on the fly And this thing make their players performed really poorly from and individual stand point so far
I also know what CW can do when they are at their best. Or TDK, or UoL. Are any of them in Worlds? Are any of them rated highly?
I predicted IG to come in 4th tbh, LGD however is really disappointing. I expected IG just to be a worse version of KT Arrows.
