9 votes is still too early to draw any definite conclusions. Furthermore, I think most people have misread the poll as who they want to win rather who they think will win. Still, Vile has gained a lot of fans and supporters this tournament.

The thing is, I truly believe + Show Spoiler [yesterday's IPL winner] +

Liquid

could beat either of these teams, so while I'm rooting for Vile, I'll be happy either way for a good match in the next round.

Though I was hoping EG would put up more of a fight.

TSL won 5-3 vs reign and lost 5-0 to startale...Vile lost 5-3 to fxo and won 5-3 over dignitas.... For those reason i beleive vile mightt win this...

I think as long as Polt isn't allowed to go crazy, Vile has a chance. Still think TSL wins it, but I'm pulling hard for Vile. I'd really like to see PsY come out at least once, but I doubt that will happen any time soon.

Quick question: Inori's been playing for Reign in TAC (hell, he played AGAINST TSL in the first round). Reign's been eliminated (in multiple ways), but is he even eligible to come out for TSL?

Even if TSL is one of the weaker Korean teams, Vile is one of the weaker foreigner teams lol.

Don't know if TSL is going to put out a B-teamer first and second and third... but I can't see Vile winning this overall x.x

Hoping for some exciting games, though I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5-0 or 5-1 from TSL.

vile is seriously underrated, and considering the fact they are a NA team, has so much potential.

that being said, probably tsl wins, depends; if vile can snipe one of tsl's zergs + polt without using illusion, then they have a decent chance

Hmmmm

Vile is underrated and could take this. But TSL is the favorite here.

Yeah some people said that vs dignitas and fxo... Weird vile pulled insane games in both clan war... Maybe some day people like you will realize how bad is vile under rated...
Not saying that vile will win or not but that just make me laugh to see people like you say vile gonna lose 5-0 every clan war they do...

And stop thinking illusion is THE player of vile.... They have à fully strong line up...

Edit: yeah i agree with pos above...

The problem is, Vile won't necessarily have had time to prepare for Inori, because TSL have just signed him. It might catch them off guard if TSL plays Inori at the right time. Other than that, Vile have an outside chance at this.

I'm a agreeing and disagreeing with you at the same time. I don't see vile taking this either, however I can definitely see them taking the series to a 3-5. If any of the outcome of the team games of vile told me something, then it is that they don't go down without putting a good fight.

I'm going to hope for a Vile win here, otherwise the next match will have a lot of ZvZs.
