hyyyyype

Eastern teams are surprisingly popular in the polls above. I'm expecting EG/Liquid to win today, but both iG and Newbee do have their chances. iG might have the slightly harder opponent, but they've also been playing better and better each day.

Also, time for some good old pointless arguing over groupstage MVPs:

5: ddc, easily.
4: Victoria, GH.
3: Inflame turned from a huge liability in lane into a monster, so I'll give it to him.
2: Miracle, Super.
1: Probably Ame. Matumba and Monet seem to have both been pretty flawless, but they've also mostly had easy games.

BO1 games going to be even more chaotic than before, there has been so many games already that an outdraft or playstyle or whatever can take teams by suprise to much. XCTN 1-1 OG; C9 1-1 VP; Infamous 1-1 Secret etcetc lots of this happened, EG also vs teams just got out draft and lost. So good luck all those teams in todays BO1, it's going to be very tense!
