Playoffs preds

#1

LifeIsALie

Teams to qualify:
Liquid
Fnatic
Gambit
Above are already qualified
Who I think will qualify next:
Vikings
Sentinels
Vision Strikers
Envy
Keyd Stars ( They can still perform a lower bracket run)

Now who I think reach semis:
Liquid
Fnatic
Envy
and Vision Strikers

Now this may be some hopium , but I believe in vision strikers and I feel gambit lose out in quarters.
Sentinels definitely wont be able to reach semis unless they are placed against keyd or vikings

Finals will be :
Liquid vs Fnatic

The original teams to iceland face off 1 last time to close the year
Liquid 3-2 Fnatic

All good but i feel like if liq faces fnatic, it will be a 3-0 solid sweep by liquid.

I personally think sentinels won't go down this easily (THEY LITERALLY LOST TO TEAM LIQ by a thin margin) and can literally make a grand finals run (i obv could be wrong.) In case of fnatic, idk they are literal lanimals but something just feels off.

I feel like people have short term memory loss and only look at results and not what actually happened in the match, sen should absolutely be making semis.

Nah bruv it got close because scream was force out of his comfort pick on breeze and bind. He usually plays reyna on both these maps but that didnt happen . On the map he did play reyna, it was basically a one sided game even tho it became 13-10 due to some clutches from SEN

excuses, excuses, just accept that SEN got close to beating them and could've won had a very small amount of things gone differently, in the end of the day the result doesn't change but SEN shouldn't be underestimated.

EDIT: this is also proof you didn't pay attention to the game, it was 10-8 for SEN and if dapr doesn't whiff they go up 11-8 and liquid on eco.

Nah I feel they arent being underestimated. They even dropped a map to furia and almost lost the entire game. You are crazy overhyping them, like I mean the games of FNC against SEN in iceland were closer but dumbasses like you said that it doesnt matter cuz SEN beat them anyway. Same thing applies here, liquid beat them, furia woulda also beat em if it were not for that dumb timeout .

SEN will reach quarters im pretty sure but 100% wont make it to finals

nah I know it was 10-8 and it wasnt their problem he whiffed.
In lots of cases, especially on breeze they threw a lot of easy rounds else it would been 13-8 or something in favour of liquid

on breeze SEN literally threw a 5v3 and a 2v1 back to back rounds of OT

but you're also using liquid throwing rounds and liquids agent picks as if they are SEN's problems, you are contradicting your own statements.

13-2 bind which was their pick (very comfortable) and sentinels split comp looked weird to even the outside eye and the fact that the results were so close yet you are trying to deny it doesnt make sense.

nope , I meant the agent pick. He usually plays reyna.

I mean 13-2... even if he picked reyna on bind he is not carrying them that hard lol

Yea but saying scream isnt a good jett is denying how good he is as a duelist. Scream has more rounds as jett than reyna in the past 60 days but it doesn't seem like u care about facts. Could his and tenz performance be negatively affected due to the fact that they were playing sentinels and TL respectively? DEFINITELY YES. Scream was being denied by sentinels whereas Tenz by Team Liquid. Neither of them did amazing on all 3 maps.

But i do wanna say, gambit looks real shaky so far now this could be due to vikings and secret showing up hard but if they face an actual challenge before the finale, they might not even make it through.

Gambit i think saving strats, their breeze form against TS looked dangerous af.
I think teams reaching semis is
Liquid
Fnatic
Envy
Gambit

and i Agree with ur finals pred

Definitely agree gambit can reach semis but what I think is , since they placed 1st seed they will play either against Vision Strikers or Sentinels or Keyd Stars/ ACE
If it is ACE or VS I feel they choke but if its sentinels or keyd then they can def win

I think only VS is the threat from the teams u mentioned. the other teams they beat easily.
VS is also underperforming in champs so I think they can win

i dont think acend makes it despite the ruling results, ENVY and VIVO KEYD should be the favorites. Even if vk meets acend in the lower bracket, now that they have somewhat experience with mwzera, they should be big chilling against acend which is literally cned go kill despite having a whole year to get some actual strats

before the event, I was 100% sure VS make it to the semifinals
now, I'm not even sure if they will make it out of groups :/

one thing I know for sure though, if VS play FNC or GMB again, they will win

VS > GMB as of now i feel like, while FNC also > GMB so far but i dont agree with vs beating fnatic if they play again.

VS are very good at adapting to their opponent before the game and rely heavily on data and VODS (which Fnatic lacked), which is why I believe that a rematch would favor them

So here is what they could do:
1) VS Ban Fracture and play Ascent/Bind
2) They realize that flanks were what was hurting them on Haven and Icebox and decide to run KJ instead of Kayo on Icebox
3) They VOD review and realize that their passive playstyle is what lost them defensive sides and work on taking more space

BuzZ also hopefully doesn't underperform with the awp again, which cost them a few rounds on maps like Fracture

You are underestimating how much fnatic also rely on VODs and Strats. They have good players all around but only 1 heavy hitter which is derke.

Um no? they had almost no clips of VS after masters berlin.
And VS must have changed quite a few thngs as we saw with that KAY/O pick . It is just that Fnatic are adaptable

I didn't say they had in the previous match but now they have similar stuff as VS will from the games. You are literally repeating that both VS and Fnatic are adaptable one of which was mentioned by sprout and the other by me. Do you have ANY OF UR OWN THOUGHTS?
