This was suppose to be the easiest group

It is still the easiest group, which says something about how outclassed CLG kind of is.

That said, it's a bit premature to say they're on the verge of not going through. They've only lost to KOO so far, and it's highly unlikely they'll lose to PAIN, so if they beat FW they'll be fine. If they lose to FW, then assuming FW doesn't beat KOO a second time (which seems to also be unlikely), then they'd go into tiebreakers and get another chance to beat FW to get out.

If they lose to Fw, they can't get out, no? That's what the casters said

I wasn't watching the caster session but I don't see how that could be the case? Both teams are 2-2, and both teams have one game left to go. Thing is, CLG is expected to win that game, whereas FW is expected to lose. So if FW beats CLG, they'll both be (presumably) 3-3 with 1 win against each other, so they should have a 7th game tiebreaker against each other to decide who goes on?

Of course, if FW beats CLG and then beats KOO a second time, then yeah, CLG would definitely be out.
