LFG! 👏

VIT 3-1 HRT

Maybe after getting gobsmacked earlier, FPX’ll wake up and ascend.

TE 3-1 FPX

They’d better be pulling out the playbooks or something because a 3-0 seems imminent.

PRX 3-2 DRX

100T 2-0, just let G2 give us a show instead of getting folded at least.

Everything seems primed for LEV to take down the rising, yet shaky KRU though looking back at the previous matches these past couple days, wouldn’t be surprising for KRU to suddenly 2-0 LEV since it’s looking like the giants of each region are just sleeping letting the competition roll them over by the most mundane of mistakes.

In the end, I’ll stick with the LEV 2-0 just cause EDG swept TE and why not run with a day of sweeps?

Apologies, I didn't mean to discredit him. Was just glad he wasn't the anchor though at least now we know JDG's gotta refine some strategies even with the better overall performance.

EDG 2-1 BLG

These giants despite sleeping on the top can benefit from the kick coming in from BLG with their sweep against JDG yesterday (Seeing JDG just get wiped again on Icebox was laughable, glad BLG pulled the upset and just swept them.). However, now that BLG came out with the W they got a sleeping bear to neutralize after getting mauled last time they met so I'll happily give them a game for yesterday's victory high but not the series if they're not ready to handle the better team once more since they got swept barely a couple weeks ago by said team.

FPX 2-1 TE

Expecting TE to strikeout with the early G1 victory shaking up FPX to their senses though...if TE's performance relies on them taking the early lead then FPX's capacity to comeback during a streak is greater than TE. Putting down 2-1 because I'm not too certain how FPX does after resting a set period in between regular/playoffs as earlier we just saw FUT and HRT get rocked by shaky, bloodthirsty teams.

If FPX are primed and ready with counters to TE running in then we got a nice sweep, otherwise a shaky start and perhaps a reverse sweep.

JDG 2-1 BLG

On paper JDG holds the edge alongside their momentum coming into this series, BLG trails behind though despite their track record seem a little shaky. However, if we observe their previous series you'll notice that BLG were well favored to win each map (Save for Icebox) if we account for WR%.

Now, if the ban phase goes better for JDG (i.e. Fracture/Pearl, to test BLG's adaptability this current season) they could stand to win this otherwise even if picking their preferred map(s) they'll just get dogged on by BLG forcing them to go "Ultra Instinct" (<insert whatever hype phrase here>) to secure the final neutral map (Probably Ascent...)

But even then, the other players in JDG aside from Viva should definitely step it up (especially since they replaced MarT1n who was playing weakside or at most inting that series in terms of KDA)

In the end, JDG "can" sweep with a 2-0 though my hope is that they bring their "A" game instead of getting folded. I will say at least quoting from @geospliced

"Z1yan's a good addition to the team."

Purely. Because. He. Ain't. Feeding. Hard.

TE seems to be holding well, though given their performance across maps shouldn't have an issue against AG even if AG snag a minor win streak in a game only to most likely get swept off their feet again by TE.

Casual 2-0, though beware if Breeze/Abyss are picked as they're probably the only maps AG might take a game from (somehow...)
