OpTic isn't the best squad in the world but uhhhhhhhhh I don't see them losing to either of these teams tbh.
tbh the only uncertain series left in this entire tournament is VP vs. PaiN which is hardly something I would have considered before these last two days but here we are. If VP beat PaiN I really can't see them losing against any of Optic, OG, or Fnatic.

If VP don't fool around i can't see them losing to Pain, no matter how much momentum they have at the moment.

Fnatic's strength and weakness is that they can lose against anyone (kinda) and win against anyone (kinda) but not VP. VP is their kryptonite.

i think VP and PaiN play really similar styles and that can lead to some really weird outcomes. it's almost like when Chinese teams that scrim constantly play each other and you wind up with weird results like LFY taking a series off LGD or something.

well they og was 3k ahead with envy at something like 3k where everyone was 5k so... at that point it was grim lol

now it's looking balanced, and slightly favoring fnatic

hard call for OG to still go for the fight. FNC seam in control for now.

the damage output with the elder titan aura is insane for DP and morph.
N0tail better gets off some clutch GA's in the upcoming fights. (and doesn't get silenced again)

EE and Fnatic going for great and interesting plays and Purge's insight is about whatever the losing team is doing wrong. Unfit for commentary and overrated.

Purge has always been a terrible commentator. As you point it, it's easy to point mistakes in hindsight and hard to analyse what forced the mistake because the other team actually did something good 30 seconds ago.

If PLD can farm up Aghs, Notail will become a walking Repel.
