Let's go Liquid.
I want Secret to beat EG and keep the RTZ curse.
Secret vs Liquid for the ultimate Kuroky vs Puppey draft wars.

LGD vs Liquid finals, please.

Liquid is currently stronger, but Secret does well against them historically, so we'll see.

You know that for Secret to beat EG they first have to eliminate Liquid, right?

Predicting Liquid/LGD/Liquid

That said, Secret did almost eliminate Liquid last year and Ace/Fata are much better than MP/Khezu so who knows

Secret vs Liquid is 40:60 chance for me

LGD vs OG however (similar to VP Optic series) would need an implosion from LGD for OG to win the series

Liquid and LGD will win easily. Even though EG lost to Liquid in groups, I think they'll take this series

OG probably got a huge confidence boost after that Comeback - maybe (and i hope for it) they can do it <3

Also hope for a Liquid win vs Secret - they are the Team i would like to win TI after OG If OG cant make it so a OG - Liquid Final would be my favorite matchup

Honestly if we could have an OG-EG finals, that would be the best storyline to see once and for all who was right and who was left

He is a proven drafter/analyst, and an experienced player, but well, that is how team compositions work(or not). You don't need the 5 best players in every position, but work well as a team.
