My predictions for groups :)

OK guys, those are my predictions - I'll give the first, and after that a brief explanations of my reasoning, and a paragraph of Room for error.

Group A:

1. CLG
2. KOO
3. YOE
4. PAIN

Group B:

1. FNC
2. AHQ
3. IG
4. C9

Group C:

1. SKT
2. EDG
3. H2K
4. BKT

Group D:

1. LGD
2. OG
3. KT
4. TSM

Group A: I would've easily given number 1 spot to CLG, but playing with the sub jungler will hold them back just about enough to get the second spot and not the first. I think KOO are clear favorites for a spot as well. Yoe 3rd and PAIN 4th.

EDIT - CLG are going to play with Xmithie in the group stage - so they are first now :)

Group B: I believe that FNC will get the first spot even if there is a tiebraker between them and the second place team. I was considering putting IG as a second spot, but in the end it seems that AHQ will be more dominant. Lets not forget that Taiwan helds the Season 2 Trophy with TPA after all. IG seems very inconsistent and tilt-prone team. FNC even if behind, can hold their own and return in the game at any point. They almost don't have team mistakes.

Group C: No discussion here - SKT and EDG will take the first 2 spots, and I believe SKT will be the one that comes out as first. H2K third, and BKT fourth.

Group D: LGD no doubt should be the first seed. Again, as a surprise to some of you, I did put OG as a second place, instead of KT. OG took FNC to 5 games on the finals, and sure does have veterans in the team. The team, is mechanically skilled and is somewhat resistant to tilting in single games, although that really shines in BO5s.

Room for error:

Group A: CLG might swap places with KOO, as it's known they have a lot of practice with HuHi through the regular season. Somewhat seems unlikely.

Group B: The group of death (for one of the 3 teams). Unlikely for C9 to finish anywhere else than 4th place. I do believe that FNC has very high chance of finishing first, and if not, of finishing second (let's make them 80% to 20%), but most definitely are going out of groups.

IG, though, might step up and discard AHQ, finishing second, or even a small chance of being first. There's quite a high chance of this to happen!

Group C: There is a slim chance of EDG finishing first, and SKT second, but it's quite clear that those two teams would be in the two qualifying seeds.

Group D: LGD is the clear first place - nothing to argue about here.

For TSM it seems impossible to finish higher than 4th (sorry).

The only room for change, is a swap between KT and OG. That's quite a likely event as well.

Well, those are my prediction - no hate, no nothing - have fun on the rift :)

P.S. Thanks to TurquoiseYoshi for spotting I've missed something. To be fair I was quite sure I've mentioned it, but oh well I'm quite hungry - it probably slipped out of my mind. Time to eat! :)

Oh, and please feel free to put down your hypotheses and why do you disagree with my list :P
