Play-in: next matches and Pick'Em
Right now the tournament is live, and the Swiss stage is where the early damage gets done. Bilibili Gaming is the team to beat, with a 29% chance of finishing 3-0, and Hanwha Life Esports is next at 21%. Those are the likeliest perfect records.
The other end of the table is just as telling. Movistar KOI has a 17% chance of going 0-3 and LØS sits at 16%. That is roughly one run in six for each. Still, the Swiss stage is forgiving: 6 more teams are listed with at least a 49% chance to advance. One bad day will not end a good team's tournament, but a second one usually does.

Who reaches the playoffs
The Knockout Stage is where the numbers turn into a bracket. The likeliest final is Gen.G Esports against Bilibili Gaming, and it shows up in only 7% of runs. That is about one in 14. Even the most natural final is a rare outcome.
The match that decides the most is Bilibili Gaming against Movistar KOI on October 24. Bilibili Gaming comes in as the favourite at 29%, so that result matters for how the bracket opens up. Dplus KIA is the quiet name here. It ranks fifth in strength, so a deep run would be a result in line with its seed, not a miracle. At 3%, it still needs everything to break its way.

Title chances
Here is the honest summary. Bilibili Gaming is the favourite at 29%, about one Worlds in three or so, and still loses the other 71% of the time. Gen.G Esports at 17% and Hanwha Life Esports at 15% are real threats, not footnotes.
The field is wide. Anyone's Legend has 7%, Dplus KIA and T1 have 3% each, G2 Esports and Karmine Corp 2% each, and the rest share 22%.
