Basically, Matt's betting on CLG (or some other top rated team) to wipe out EG, or at the very least, have the least amount of brackets affected by this so-called game throwing collusion when they might face TSM. I'd say that's not a bad bet to wager. However, if EG does end up facing TSM, the visibility will be MUCH greater. Had the brackets been left as was, the game throwing thing would have a much higher chance of happening.
The move / change Riot did is very unprofessional and it actually makes matters worse. If they didn't touch the brackets, the "RUMORED" game-throwing would be minimal compared to how the brackets are set up now. Basically if EG and TSM win all their games to the finals, EG can still "throw" the game to TSM. The only problem this time around is all the rest of the teams have already been defeated, where as if the change didn't happen, there'd still be 3 other teams that would have a shot at the finals.
