nAts (Chronicle/cNed)
Yay
Alfajer/Leo

They will definitely be one of the favorites
If they actually keep putting Wo0t on Jett for Jett maps they will have an extra layer added that will benefit them a lot

I mean if it was Heretics with full roster it would be a 80/20 game for them but with no practice it's fine to expect G2 to beat them

actually yeah he can probably 1v5 on split xd

But nah overall I believe Americas teams have been better on split and Bind is a really good map for G2

TH is not that insane on Bind and Split (still good tho)

If G2 gets 2-0'd tho it's not a good sign for the Americas teams

Would've said the same if they had gotten FPX

Only team that you wouldn't have said it about is Gen.G which is 1/7 possible options

Yo the odds changed overnight?
G2 was the favorites but not anymore

Don't forget about Heretics mate

we're talking about 2 years ago here

Those players are getting replaced in other regions except for the actual elite ones

xd
if FPX win another map and 100T gets to pick first

damn they might actually be unleashed after their first win

ROXI GOAT IS BACK WOW

LETS GO ROXI

Bro why is everyone going for male pros?

That being said, I choose Chronicle

of going winless (series) at the 2nd international event of the year?

They prioritized 3 regions over Americas

BIG W

T1 should've beaten G2 so they're on the same level imo

(so far)
Gen.G v FPX (best v worst)
G2 v TH (2nd v 3rd best)

EU got blessed
Fut v DRG
Lev v T1 (banger)

It should've been 2 EMEA 2 APAC tho

Gen.G will probably be a bit too good

Patitek is really good but against the best of the best he will go -20

Bro Heretics is gonna be so good at champs

They should actually play him on Jett on Jett maps since Miniboo is also just insane on kayo

it's gonna be Lev v Fut isn't it

Who wins?
Fut wins if they don't choke imo (but likely that they will tho) so I say Lev beats them if they get drawn

Gen.G win game 3
TH beats DRG

Good way to start the tournament

(T1 and Fut managed to choke harder than G2 and FPX)

I have these two teams on the same level
Top 4 candidates (PRX, 100T and Fnatic ahead of them)

I'm expecting the same from Fnatic (Masters form instead of Champs tho)

LEV/Gen.G -> NO

G2 -> yes (60/40 in favor of G2 tho)

TH/DRG -> yes

They're not in a bad spot to make it out

They did not win stage 1 but they did get their series win in Shangai!

their ecos have been way closer than their full buys

thrifty incoming

That's without Chinese numbers tho

This game probably doesn't even have 1 mil without Chinese viewership

this ain't the Fut we saw in EMEA

harsh truth

Looks like it's Fnatic v the world again but this Fnatic ain't the same as last year

(Heretics with full roster would be good as well tho)

what the two teams that will go 0-2 you need therapy son

yo these guys dominated China

they will make so many comebacks with how many chokers there are at this tournament.

THEY BACK OR WHAT?

T1 can only beat DRG at this tournament lets be real

Step 1 has been completed

Good

Would be so damn funny if Gen.G wins MSI and VCT Masters in China

That would such a massive W for them

Nah that's insane they've gone and done it

Only 2 finals left to have an invincible season across all competitions madness

They're not bad

The pressure was just too high and the team environment probably sucked after some of their losses

aka D00mbr0s
He will cook and make Champs over NAVI

BRUH HOW DID ERIK GET THE SACK BEFORE EMIL

IN WHAT WORLD

Is he gonna choke in grand finals or is he just too good now

jup just don't wanna see them lose games where they're in control

FUT
LEV
Gen.G
G2 (would've been TH)

FNC 3-1 PRX

I trust Boostio and Zikz + those guys on Lev live for these tournaments

I'm taking into consideration how I think these teams will perform internationally

S+ tier PRX
S tier FNC GEN.G 100T Lev (whoever of these teams makes grand finals wins the tournament v PRX unless it's Gen.G then it's a 50/50)
A tier EDG FUT G2 TH (with sub)
B tier T1 FPX
D (rg) tier
