Looked at quite a few pickems for the Kickoff and i'd love to hear some thought processes on these topics:
-
Starting with what really stood out to me- 100T being predicted to go 0-2 in most pickems. It's true they lost to Trust in Plug but I honestly didnt think it held that much significance and with Neon nerfs and more practice time with Zander, they should be a decent (if not one of the best) team for most of the year. I can see them making Kickoff even though their run will not be easy.
-
MiBR being expected to make waves just because they have aspas. He's definitely the GOAT but i just dont see him being able to carry them this hard, and least of all to any internationals. But i guess we'll see in the LATAM Invitational if aspas is really that guy.
-
Does the hopium on KRU actually have a basis? In all fairness they did make it to Champs (barely) and that was their only major accomplishment last year. They've made a few changes but will that actually make a big enough difference for them to play better in 2025?
-
NRG and SEN probably being the two teams that are expected to qualify for Masters 1. I see the vision but i can also see SEN not performing well in the start of the year.
Would love to read others' opinions on this.
P.S.- KRU and LEV might have the easiest runs to be able to get top 2 in this tourney and I dont like that.
