Every team in the final 16 have an equal opportunity to be the final four. TSM on paper has the easiest group with relatively lesser-known teams in Valorant, which is not the case for the three other groups. Group A boasting C9, 100Thieves, and Luminosity Gaming, all juggernauts of the industry. Group B and C share the same story with potent teams all across the board.
