It's possible to go 11-9 and pass but you must have a ridicolous run differential. Updated Thursday, July 24 2014 @ 12:35:54 am PDT

The placement is random, so you could get a relatively easy group, or you could be in a really tough group. A league V team making the cup final last season gives hope though that anyone can pull off a run with the right combination of talent on the team, and luck. It requires both though.

So if you're ranking is in the top-256 teams, you have a pretty decent shot. Group composition can help or hurt your chances though. Steve
