praying that sumail and yawar get back into the country worry free
5 hours and 20 minutes until my favourite time of the year, BRACKET TIME
i swear if youāre are cowards donāt post your brackets in this thread you will be in so much trouble
VP vs FUCKING LGD in the first round of the Upper bracket
EG vs Secret
Optic vs Liquid
good lord this is the dream
Does Lumi get worse at speaking English every year? Why donāt they let him cast in the Asian streams?
Damn that top bracket is a fuckin bloodbath
Also I canāt see any of the lower bracket people winning against whoever drops
i could see fnatic beating one of em, also newbee is pretty strong
Fnatic would have to beat optic or liquid, and optic is on right now
Newbee would have to beat storm or og, and neither of those are happening
This is all assuming no ones been saving strats
Never underestimate the power of EEās full autism strats
I could see fnatic beating og.
really agonised over some of these lowerbracket matchups. I feel this is the hardest TI to predict ever, so many teams are good enough when they play well to beat other teams when they don't play well that almost anybody could beat anybody depending on who plays well that day. very few CONSISTENT teams.
anyway, here's what I got. I could see myself being wrong about nearly every lower bracket match, there's just so much parity between the teams this year. I could easily see LGD, Fnatic, NewBee, or Serenity all going through the LB to the finals. I feel so confident about VP beating LGD in the first UB match I basically consider LGD a lower bracket team at this point. I feel confident about Liquid winning and confident about Liquid going through the upper bracket, that's about it.
you think fnatic is losing to serenity?
i wouldnt put money on it but yeah thatās what Iām going with
SCSF your predictions are almost exactly the same as mine.
I have Liquid beating LGD but other than that, our predictions are the same.
great minds something something
One thing we can be sure of: top 4 is gonna have 2 NA teams

VGJS winning it after taking that stomping from VP in groups doesnt sound right to me. And chances of optic beating VP in an elimination game are close to 0 I think. Pajkatt/CCnC both choke artists, peter canāt save them.
winning an upper bracket series guarantees you top6, not top4
vp āstompedā them when they already had guaranteed 1st place in groups. i doubt they put their best effort into the matches
