Alright the Yay acquisition is huge for NV. If you still can't beat TSM or more importantly qualify for masters then idk what to say (in the honeymoon period)

I'm assuming he's been practicing with team since ABX made their decision to drop players, if that's not the case then this is just a stupid decision to incorporate a player just a week before.

And yes I realise it takes time to jell with a new player.

You clearly missed the other points in my arguments. Why would they try to out veto a team which they believe is not as good as them.
They caught 100T off-guard cuz they respect them and believed can lose to them.
And then there's the anti strat dimension as well

TSM 3 - Sen 2 if TSM is from upper bracket
Sen 3 - 100T 2 otherwise

(I do have TSM losing in my upper final predictions but I made a prediction for other case as well :P)

Sen 2 - TSM 1
Honestly could go either way depending on which team wants it more

Sen 2 - Faze 1

They won't ban split. Sen has a good split and better team rarely tries to out-veto. Also rise has a good split so they won't work on it these 10 days and would be counter-strated easily through VODs

You're one of the "dumb sen" fan everyone talks about good stuff

2-1 Sen

might be some kinks in the system due new meta adoption but they'll make it through.

Dumb bait

Tf u mean "just 1" ofc it's 1, if they take 2 maps that means xset will win

Hopefully, Sen 2 - NV 1

Edit: prediction before NV yay announcement

Riot's system is stupid. Also they straight up deny watch parties for EU whereas for NA pretty much any pro or content creator can do them.

100T 2 - TSM 0

Both will want to prove something and will not be trolling. Also there's some history. But I believe 100T is just better ATM unless some catastrophe occurs

Edit: prediction was before NV yay announcement

Yea, both of these teams have a, for the lack of a better term, straightforward approach to the game.

I really liked the way we used to play a year ago but results are still there so I guess I can't really complain

TSM 2 - 1 SEN

Edit: prediction before NV yay announcement

TSM 3-1 TBD

Really? I don't know about fnatic but liquid definitely overperformed in the masters 2 qualifier (the honeymoon period)
Their performance to me is pretty justified.

Watching TSM's match vs DZ I knew that they'll bleed a lot but somehow stumble across the line and make it to qualifier finals.
TSM 2 - 1

Also there's so much animosity between Shahz and TSM. I get ure a competitor and there's history but atleast keep it to urself fam. Mans actually praying on their downfall.

It would be so fitting to see SEN win the tournament. They have been the most consistent and dominant team throughout the eSports scene in NA and also good doing in tournament.

However, EU overlords are just diff. It looks like they want it more and play so confidently. My prediction: 3-1 Fnatic

Idk if anybody saw the post match interview or not but solo and suggest talked about expecting match against SEN and being eager to play them.
I have a feeling they watch them closely and know them inside out. This, imo, will be a VERY unexpected 2-0 NU. Close but 2-0

3-1 v1. Sen about to get dominated.

Ikr

Actually if u take a look at sen final record, they rarely troll even if it doesn't matter. They try to make a point. Last finals C9 trolled but I doubt vanity would. So maybe we get a decent match not a high quality one but fun : )

OMEGALUL
But vanity was NOT washed at all. Vanity leaf and xeppa were in chaos and have come from CS GO. Their team grinded hard and made it to top 3 in NA only to be dropped by org due to covid and NA scene dying. All of them are performing : )

What am I getting down voted for, c9 honeymoon period? Lol

C9 vs NV C9 wins 3-1
I hope c9 does well in iceland. They're on their honeymoon period and it's probably not gonna last till iceland. Hope they figure something out to represent NA well ^^ NV on the other hand should do good. FNS has loads of experience and has represented NA multiple times in international LANs.

The way sentinels are playing right now, it seems like everytime they face something unexpected they lose. It's not a 50-50 or even a 40-60/30-70. 100t look a better unit and understand (as steel said) why they lost previous meetings.
I think this is 2-0 100T.
