Groupings:
Group A: NU, CSB, Formosa, Phenom and Lakas California
Grouo B Adamson, FEU, San Beda, Mapua and DKI Jakarta
Round Robin, Top 4 in each group will advance to crossover semifinals.
Looks like Group A is the group of death, i feel like na taiwanese team is the top dog especially if the organizers allow their team to play all 5 imports. NU and CSB imo are evenly matched on paper but since their will be no liwag and ynot, while cometa is still recovering from his injury. NU might come as the top two, maybe even the best in the competition. While Phenom will apparently field a mix of pros and collegiate guys in their team, maybe comprised of those applying in the pba draft to showcase them and of course an import. And then the group still has pretty much unkown team from california.
For Group B, Indonesian team might me the best while both uaap teams might have a favorable matchup against ncaa teams if both beda and mapua do go all filipino.

1. NU

5. Lakas
Group B
