there's the slim chance now that Kungarna could lose to Hammers and then C9 would get in regardless of what happens against RNG, but yea, wouldn't bet on that
In my opinion NA has a larger pool of tier 2 teams so I feel like competition is tougher at that level. When I say tier two right now I mean any team not named EnvyUs of Rogue (yes I count them as NA because the teams consider themselves NA)
