Willing to give explanations for each matchup
They're not a bad team at all, but I think of the top 8 teams in Champions they are in the bottom half. If it does end up being Fnatic vs Lev in the lowers I would favor Fnatic. But Team Heretics just has another level at internationals that they are firing on and as long as they don't piss off Derke they should be fine. Lowkey, if it weren't for Derke idk if Fnatic even make it past KRU. I just see them getting anti-stratted heavy in both matchups.
I predict the two maps that Lev win are Icebox and Abyss. I think Lev leave it open and bring suspect they bring a different comp from the regional playoffs which sounds crazy but not out of the question.
Edit - "It" being abyss, they've been banning it second a lot of the time but I see it being the decider in this series unless G2 don't ban ascent

number one pickem rn, i understand trace over edg but lev beating g2? lev is looking crazy for sure but g2 just has them read so well, seems unlikely imo. it feels like nothing lev could do comp wise could fix their map pool against g2. that said my pickems are already fucked cause i'm fully on the reactionary sen hopium train so who knows, i'm ready to come back to this at -100 frags in a few days fr
