Hotness: 9/10

I just don't see it, they look so strong that I don't think they won't come at least 2nd
They'll def beat LEV, Sen vs G2 is very winnable for G2 and in fact I favor them in that series
If they do lose however I still think they'd be strong enough to go though lowers

g2 will lose out they play normally and try to control the pace of the game but if weird strat and idea are applied will throw them off bad plus they rely on leaf winning his 1v1 alot and sometimes leave him on a site himself

that's an interesting way to look at it, however I don't think any of the americas teams are the type to throw a random weird strat at G2
even if, I think their firepower will bail them out and they'll adapt in 2-4 rounds

It's definitely possible that DRX make Bangkok as they look like the best APAC team rn, cold take

RRQ on the other hand, I don't think they have it in them to make a run like that, especially if xffero is still sick
They'd have to beat NS, Talon/T1, PRX AND the loser of the upper final and I think it might be too hard for them.

If it does happen tho I'll become an RRQ fan on top of many other teams I support

Pacific is awful (top teams)

The average level of the region has been very impressive, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the region go 0-4 at Bangkok. Granted, the sample size is small, but all 3 of GENG, T1, PRX have left a ton to be desired imo and despite impressive, I don't see a team like RRQ hitting the level required to be a real threat internationally either. I'm not concerned long term, but I'm seriously pessimistic about the top end of Pacific going into Bangkok

Team Secret played 2 quite strong teams and whilst they dominated on map 1 in both games they ended up losing soundly
At this point you have to ask if it's unlucky or maybe a choking issue?
Anyway they didn't play a weaker team so we might not know, they played teams on their level or higher so in that sense you can say they were unlucky
