There's an NA team making it out of groups this year.........AND ITS NAME IS JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN C9
Two NA teams made it out last year...
Kappa Keepo Kippa
C9 still has insanly good chances to get out, but it´ll be just them. though as the games so far just showed that you can´t tell much about a teams powerlevel after week 1...so they still might fall down.
C9 just has to win ONE game. Don't get me wrong, it will be hard. Each team, IG, AHQ, and FNC are really tough. It's why they are called the group of death.
Even if C9 goes 0-3, one team has to go 3-0 and another 2-1 AND THEN LOSE A TIEBREAKER in order for C9 to not make knockout stage.
Sounds impossible but to be honest from the raw skill level it is possible. FNC could very well go 3-0 and than AHQ or iG 2-1. I personally don't think it is gonna happen, I think C9 should finish first but I don't think it is super impossible for them to still get knocked out in group stage.

It's possible, but I think C9 can pull one way. After all, we aren't talking about CLG here
Yeah I think they will finish 5-1 or 4-2.
For that to happen, C9 would have to tilt harder than CLG did today (so disappointed, I wanted both C9 and CLG to make finals for faith vs energy...)
Well, it is not like Cloud9 dominated in the first round, sure they stomped AHQ but that was due to them picking a comp that couldnt afford to fall behind, vs FNC and iG the games were close and small things decided them (aswell as Cloud9's superior shotcalling) but there certainly were windows where they could have lost both of those games. So yeah, Cloud9 should finish first but they can easily lose without "tilting" especially since we have only seen one strategy from them so far. Teams should give them more credit now and target ban Tristana and/or Azir maybe.
C9, nuff said.
