90/50/10

i remember there was such post made for lock///in, so i thought, why not bring it back for the upcoming masters tokyo!

here are my preds:
90% chamber revival(if they are playing on the new patch, if not, i'd go with fut dropping in groups, and going to the lcq)
50% emea team wins(maybe emea bias, but i think with liquid coming in hot form and fnatic being fnatic, it seems okayish?)
10% one chinese team finishes inside the top6

liquid wont win, but fnatic has a fair chance

no way chamber is revived

90% chamber has a higher than 30% pick rate on patch 6.11
50% teams play comps we have never seen in the regular season
10% Edward gaming makes Cinderella run to grand finals but loses 3x0

90% for NRG wins tokyo
50% chance for all americas teams make top 5
10% chance for both EMEA teams to make it out of groups

90%: An igl gets their second international trophy.
50%: An inter-region final.
10%: A Chinese team makes it out of groups.

90%: One of the four teams that had a bye (to the playoffs) bombs out
80%: We will have the first repeat winning core!
50%: a russian is the mvp of the tournament
10%: EG make it to top 4

90% EG gets top4
50% LOUD VS NRG Grand Finals
10% CHINA gets out of groups

the tournament is on patch 6.10 which is pre chamber buff. why? because of pearl changes probably and other pretty big things and not enough time to practice them pre-tourney

thanks for the clarification! well, i guess, i am gonna go with the other prediction i put in the brackets.

90% - Loud win the tournament
50% - viper has the 2nd lowest pick rate among controllers (Harbor I think will have the lowest)
10% - DRX loses in the group stage

#10, has just clarified, that the tournament will be played on the pre-viper nerf patch, so i think viper will still be extremely relevant, but, i guess, we will wait and see!

emea teams have preferred the astra/kayo comp, so this should be an interesting dynamic to keep an eye on.

I agree with the first one, fraudnatic will get exposed

tbf, on pearl only FUT has been seriously playing Astra, NAVI played their stupid solo Astra comps that they used to beat up on shitty teams, and TL and FNC don't even play it. I would think that harbor viper is purely better for the patch they're playing bc B long pushes can be stalled indefinitely with their wall cycling. There's a much larger window to play around with viper astra than there is with viper harbor, and astras need to use two stars to completely smoke the choke.

how is chamber better now? the biggest problem is the tp u can buff the others all u want but if the tp range is so small he is continuing to be shit

well, my whole point was that if they were to play on the newest patch, and with almost half of the maps leaning towards a raze, or a neon, a chamber on these maps would start to make sense again, i.e. bind, fracture, split maybe even lotus and pearl?
