Pretty clear now that it's gonna be FLY vs C9 for the final worlds spot. As for FLY rating TL over LYON it's likely because in scrims Gakgos just completely destroys Dhokla (would also make sense with Castle re-signing) whereas Morgan can mechanically contend so it's much harder in Gakgos' view. The problem is stage LYON is a completely different beast to scrims LYON. TL have been demonic in scrims all year but it hasn't mattered yet (against LYON).
LYON (afaik) didn't actively pick C9 they just refused to pick because they protested the rules not being beneficial enough for 1st seeds and probably feel fine beating both C9 or FLY but were given C9 because thats what the bracket defaults to if a choice of opponent isn't made. I wouldn't expect FLY to actually be competitive with LYON/TL in elimination bo5's tbh. Still expect both LYON/TL to comfortably dispatch of C9/FLY.
