I have no faith in Korean teams, they have the most tactical and strategic play style no doubt but their individual prowess I feel will leave them with a lot of holes. VS also was consistently stumped when they found their plays interrupted by coordinated utility combo usage, it will be exactly the same. V1 ( SADGE) will do poorly for multiple reasons 1 being that their a brand new team 2 being that their brand new team playing with a sub that is replacing one of their most integral players. I think either Fnatic/Sen can win in the finals but I know both will get there and Sen has a tendency to do lower bracket runs and also do decisively well in rematches thanks to Shahzams anti-stratting
