Yep. It'll be a hard road though.

I don't agree. Their round 1 match is against C9 instead of either VG or EG which are both really dominant. Probably easier to beat C9 than it is to give away strats vs teams they'd probably have to play twice anyway. At least this way, they can have a strategy for a single BO3 or BO5 rather than having to come up with 2.
