The games yesterday went as expected, but for those i have no clue. I think anything can happen, as the matchups seem all pretty even.

I think it is only those 4 matches tomorrow because rest of the day is the 1v1 tournament. VP/EG vs Liquid/LGD will be Friday :D

Just watched the EG / LGD vods, LGD looked much scrappier than I thought they would, looks like a semi easy takedown for Liquid

And, hm, probably VG advance. Mineski did look strong though, but it feels they tend to falter deeper into tournaments

I'm really not a fan of this Bo1 elim style when there's only eight teams left

really not sure what to make of EG vs VP.
I'd guess (and that's all it is, a guess) that EG is one of the better teams to take on VP from a mindset point-of-view. Also, VP might be a little down from yesterday...
So I'd honestly put the series at much more of a coinflip than it should be. It being bo1 only makes that more extreme.

But yeah this bo1 business is weird. I can kind of get behind that for the r1 LB but bo1 for top6 games (a win to get top4) is silly. That should not be happening

Other than that I'm on TL to win, Vici to win, EG vs VP? hell who knows, TNC to win?

Upper bracket goes really interesting. 3 of the 4 teams really need those locked in DPC points, as the loser still faces a Bo1, which means a draft mistake and your tournament is over. Mineski puts themselves in prime position for a direct invite with at least 3rd. LGD needs 2nd.

There's a funny scenario where Mineski gets 4th, LGD gets 3rd and Na'Vi stays in the hunt for a TI invite by the barest of margins.

That's 100% not accurate, no idea who edited it to say that
