I'm on my last train home after a day in Hannover looking for a place in a flatshare and what am I seeing, liquid will play in three hours. Will not be a able to watch. Damn it. Best of luck and I hope for a wake up present of liquid owning the lower bracket. Also excited for the OG match!
VG.R should win against DC. LGD should also win against empire MVP and OG might be close though it feels like MVP is gonna take it. Fnatic is weird but i think newbee is pretty much just stronger than them so they should win.

Wut? Liquid is not playing today mate... Unless you're on some sort of time travelling train that I've not heard of ;O
DC > VG.R Both of these teams seem pretty comparable and unless something crazy happens, neither of these teams are going to win the Major. VG.R only won their game against a pretty bad looking EG and that's it. DC looks even better than VG.R has.
LGD > Empire Empire should be able to put up a fight against LGD but I don't think they'll beat LGD. The thing is, I could barely see LGD winning the entire thing. It's in the realm of believability, LGD beats Empire and could very well beat MVP again as well as Newbee. I can't see Empire beating LGD just on the basis of me believing in LGD being a stronger team.
OG > MVP Both of these teams look strong. MVP looks to carry over their strong form like what they've shown in DotaPit and OG has been a step above their competition in both their groups and the playoffs against Na'Vi. This could actually go either way and it's the one that I'm struggling to predict. Can OG find a hole in MVP's drafts or playstyle? Can they dodge MVP's teamfighting long enough for them to overpower them? Everyone that watched MVP knows what MVP is going to do but the question is whether OG can do anything about it.
It's like TI3 Alliance, you know Alliance is going to rat but you don't know how to stop them. MVP is identical in the sense that you know MVP is going to group up and run at you to force teams to play MVP's game of teamfights. I've been one of MVP's biggest skeptics coming into this major and they've partially proven me wrong in dismantling Liquid but I still think OG is smart enough as a team to "figure" out MVP. Should be a good series either way though.
Fnatic > Newbee I've said it before but I do think this is Fnatic's best chance at winning a major. They've dominated their region online and they're starting to look as composed in their LAN games as they are online but Newbee is also on that same boat. Maybe I'm taking a leap of faith in thinking Fnatic is stronger than Newbee.
MVP and Newbee will cleanly 2-0 OG / Fnatic, but the first two matches could be very close. I can absolutely see DC 2-1 over VGR and Empire 2-1 over LGD. Unlikely, but still.
