Predictions
Group A
- MAD Lions
- Team Liquid
- Papara SuperMassive
- Legacy Esports
- INTZ
For Group A, there are two teams – Team Liquid and MAD Lions – that are clearly a cut above the rest of the teams in the group. The winner of their matchup will likely secure the #1 seed in the group stage and a guaranteed trip to the group stage.
After those two, SuperMassive and Legacy Esports are pretty neck-and-neck, so they should secure a trip to the knockout stage. Unfortunately, INTZ likely will not win a game at Worlds 2020 and will be sent home after the play-in stage.

Group B
- LGD Gaming
- Unicorns of Love
- PSG Talon
- V3 Esports
- Rainbow7
LGD is the cream of the crop in Group B, and I would be shocked if they lose a single game in the play-in stage. After them, it’s a close call between UoL and PSG Talon, but I give the edge to the Unicorns in this matchup. As for the last two teams, V3 is closer to Rainbow7 than PSG/UoL, but I think they have extremely good odds of being the last team to qualify for the knock-out stage.
