The thought was based on Cory pointing out how thin the Divisions would get. With division assignments being random, there's still an opportunity for a similar situation where a lot of quality tea\ms underperform due to a somewhat disadvantageous schedule. And yeah, Newton got kicked right out the gate, but those Division elims were so brutal on everyone involved that really wasn't a surprise
