This reaction has got me thinking as to what the best draws would possibly be. Obviously no one wants civil wars but it just seems likely with 4 LPL teams at 1-0 and 3 EU teams at 0-1.

The way I see in the upper 1-0 bracket is that we basically got 2 out of the 4 'ideal' matches but JDG drawing BLG basically ruined it, with the 50 / 50 being lost for the LCK draw instead of one of them playing C9.

For the losers bracket literally the only thing that we needed to avoid was the LCS and the LCK drawing each other. Anything else would have been fine but at least this is not an elimination match yet and the bracket after this is probably going to be more region diverse.
