TL did a good job

For me personally, I saw it as TSM could get out depending on how things played out and the worst case scenario of this group played out of how I predicted this group would play out.

My pre-groups expectations was I thought on paper that the teams should be around the same tier of strengths and there isn't a large discrepancy in strength from one particular team, with me maybe being a little concerned about LGD but also giving the edge to FNC and GenG over TSM. I was just concerned that the teams would all have an edge over TSM, one that's not maybe as large as something like Top over FQ or something where it's seemingly insurmountable, but enough that while possible for TSM to win, none of the match ups are TSM favoured and so they're likely to go 0-6 or something with very low wins.

And it's looking like it's going to play out like that, where the possibility is there, however as groups played out, in part, TSM somewhat underperforming, but we also saw how strong the other teams were, including LGD who managed to ramp up and become really solid by group stages, all have an edge over TSM.
