Let's go Cloud 9! I beliEEve in my boy EE-sama!

If I understand it correctly, MVP Phoenix chose to play vs. Newbee rather than MVP Hot6? What do you guys think about that. I find it kind of surprising. Sure it avoids organizational cannibalism but Hot6 went 2-12 in groups and seem to be the weaker opponent.

MVP.P has a poor head-to-head record with Hot6.
Hot6 was able to take a game off Newbee and they can probably bounce strategies off each other as to what to do in a bo1.

First they are always playing sooooooo poor when they play against Hot6. I don't have stats but the head to head has to be hugely in Hot6 favour. Add to that that they are playing under the same organisation and they've shown they CAN win vs chinese teams.

Let the hype begin? Damn, some part of me really wants CDEC to surprise hardcore.
|
Complexity already won $200k, and Vici Gaming has to win a BO1 vs the unpredictable Navi or they are eliminated already. Some shocking results!
|
My top 6 is still possible, but EG needs to win against COL and VG and IG needs to start playing dota
|
As long as VP play their usual game I feel like they have a good shot at beating Fnatic.
Hoping at least.
|
I can honestly see an EG vs Complexity upset. We'll see. EG obviously the more experience team, but Complexity has been playing amazing....but so has EG so i have no clue. I think it's safe to say people are already pissing their pants going against PPD's drafting.
|
Some of the lower bracket games are really hard to predict due to the bo1
|
eg respecting c9 enough to pick col was interesting, especially considering how well col played in groups. its good for c9 though dodging eg is their best chance at a deep run i feel

EG picking the team that's never beat them on LAN, pretty unsurprising

interesting how high quality team will play against techies
as currently techies is a niche unbeatable pick if played by high quality team (EG & Secret, not u CoLololol pfffttt)
so far techies loss only come from CoLololol (pfffttt) against secret
I wonder how EG, Secret, LGD, CDEC will react to techies
I'm not really into CDEC bandwagon
they have a quite easy day 1-2-3 bracket (Empire, underperforming VG & Newbee, MVP) all the "meh" teams
their trial comes in the last day, which is just now against EHOME and EG, and looked what happened...

This is your TI envy. CDEC are first.

I can if you teach me how to do it

So excited we finally have our bracket set for TI5. EG have a very tough path to the finals, but there isn't really an easy one. Somehow I wish were in C9's spot instead.. they have a great shot at WB finals if they can overcome LGD.
