Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I think if any of those group is harder it's only by an inch. In my eyes it's pretty even. Tho there obviously are favorite in each group to place top4 / get into upper bracket.

3 ti2 navi players in there :>

also ill be hugely surprised if anyone other than dendi wins 1v1, unless its magnus vs magnus then s4 wins

also no notail, this is invalid
1v1 is not the same game as playing solo mid, if anything it doesn't favor Dendi's style at all.

mh, i heard nightmare stories about chinese sf 1v1 but i blindly fanboy dendi so fu

It's not so much that.

Tournament 1v1 is all about the mastery of the minutiae that go specifically into the tournament 1v1 format. Fundamentals go a long way, but at a level where fundamentals will be pretty close, it's all about mastery of those minutiae.

The CTY-Mushi 1v1 recently demonstrated this pretty clearly. Mushi was no lesser to CTY in fundamentals, but in terms of those things that you just do in 1v1s, Mushi came out behind (e.g. choosing Phase Boots instead of Tranquils when Tranquils are abusively strong in that format, not sending clarities as aggressively as CTY, finishing wand first to clean up slots rather than dropping a branch for later and getting just Stick+Wraith Band).

Dendi's fundamentals are very good, but seeing as there hasn't been any significant tournament 1v1 recently in the West, it's up in the air whether he will do well here.

Yeah looking at it again group B is probably harder regardless of which iG shows up.

Zenith and MUFC are pretty hard to say though. I mean neither have looked great, but how does that stack up against mouz/dignitas/fnatic? I'm still going to put MUFC above those 3 teams.

id put mufc on a lvl with dignitas and fnatic and mouz way above that
mouz played really well lately

Zenith is really hard to place right now - they are a team with great talent that performs really inconsistently. I could see them finishing around 8 though.

I don't rate Mouz's chances any better than the other non Alliance/Na'Vi western teams.

Well, Mouz could get lucky and face Alliance in the bracket stage, but they would have to be lucky.

This 1v1 format will be hilarious.

You can choose whatever you want and make them play a mirror match.
