Riot MUST BE CAREFUL when setting up the brackets at Worlds

Currently four of the regions have their top team much farther ahead of the 2nd place team.

For China it is EDG >> QG or LDG Korea SKT >> KOO or CJ EU FNC >> OG LMS AHQ >> HKE or YFW

Now for the sake of watching exciting matches, Riot Esports MUST make sure none of these four teams EDG SKT FNC AHQ will face each other BEFORE the semifinals.

If for some reason the bracket is accidentally set up wrong, and one of these top teams gets eliminated, it will not be fun for spectators to watch a second placed region team play against one of the big four.

Of course upsets can happen, but if you understand what I am trying to get at here, please plan the brackets carefully.

For NA it doesn't really matter because the three teams qualifying will be around the same level (and to be honest won't be much competition to the other regions, even though I am from NA).

Any way, it will definitely be the most exciting worlds thus far because for the first time Korea will not be so far ahead of everyone else.

It will be an amazing semifinals to watch EDG vs AHQ, and SKT vs FNC Finals EDG vs SKT

I like how NA is just shafted. They literally have no chance to win Season 5 Worlds, just because they have no obvious top team.

They can try. But if even one game goes wrong in group stage it will screw up everything. You can't control who will go where because you don't know they're records yet
