Doesn't mean anything when the only two really good teams in the region are directly invited. But because I'm a foolish optimist I think they might do pretty well at Boston. | ||

Also tfw goody is posting with an EG flair dude i like rtz and there's no NP flair it's pretty ez decision xD On October 31 2016 15:57 TurboNash wrote: Oh wow they made it to Boston Major. I couldn't believe it. I thought EE+ friends gonna disappoint fans as usual. i wouldn't be surprised if they perform just averagely(honestly this is what i expect below or average performance but hey it's gonna be glorious if they exceed expectations ) though they look well-oiled as of the moment | ||

Single elim BO3 is an absolutely horrible format, and even a legit top 4 team can pretty much lose in the first round if they get an unfavorable seeding. For example if Team Faceless get seeded as 14 and EG is seeded as 3 due to their TI standing, then there is a very real chance that Faceless gets eliminated in the first round due to facing EG. Assuming NP gets seeded in the bottom 4 due to being NA qualifiers, there is a very real possibility that they could be eliminated in the first round by someone like Wings/EG. | ||

There will be a group stage. text from the official announcement: Seeding for the Main Event bracket will be determined by the results of Group Stage play on December 3 – 4. So it's not Valve choosing the seeds. | ||

Give them 2 months and they'll be competitive, I guarantee it. I think they're at a particularly low point now given they're out of practice but I also don't think they'll have another run as good as TI6. My guess is that they'll be around top 8 in the world and could potentially be outperformed by NP at some point. | ||

Nah dude i really don't have high faith in them right now it's like i expected them to win against random NA teams but not against the best ones or the best or EU/CN/SEA. Maybe later on after some more proven victories over tougher opponents. We'll see oh hey they won against DC just checked the results good stuff. i'd attribute it to NP being well-oiled by previous confidence boosting victories and scrimming/official while DC haven't played a single official and probably haven't practiced that much. | ||
