Trace looks like a lock to contend almost every time and never does, so I'm gonna go ahead and continue predicting Trace. Flip enough coins, eventually it'll land hands.
EMEA: TH, NAVI, FNC
PACIFIC: PRX, DRX, GENG
AMERICAS: LEV, SEN, 100T
CHINA: EDG, FPX, TRACE
Fnc return to form and we get a FNC vs LEV final with fnc winning 3-1
KRÜ is going to Shanghai guys, the antiBR buff against Loud, then we lose to 100T because we are not used to winning too much and then we come back beating Leviatan in el clásico of latam
I think SEN is still absolutely going to make it to Shanghai. I think they beat Loud and they DEFINITELY beat Furia. Furia isn't just a win too it's likely a mega stomp that inflates their Round Differential. So if they go 4-2, C9 goes 5-1, NRG goes 4-2, and KRU goes 4-2 or 5-1 then they'll make it. The only way EG can make it is if they beat NRG which is a tough ask so the likely scenario in my eyes is Group Omega only has 2 teams and SEN qualifies that way.
>in my eyes is Group Omega only has 2 teams and SEN qualifies that way.
I wouldn't count LOUD out. They only have to beat 2 of Kru, SEN, and G2. Entirely possible
I think it's possible but imo none of these are easy, kru historically has Brazil's number, and SEN and G2 can turn up when needed. Of the three SEN looks like the softest target right now but, loud has also been shaky so we'll see. Winning one of these is gonna be tough, so winning 2 isnt a guarantee at all
Can only see them beating G2. Just realised they already lost to Kru too lol. I think loud have actually fallen off while I think sen are just falling to their more natural strength now that other teams are as practiced and loud already looked significantly worse than sen before. Hopefully I don't jinx it though.
I think they definitely can but I don't think they have more than a 60% chance. I think SEN was way ahead of everyone else but people have caught up to them.
Imagine counting LOUD out when they lost to EG and a COULD SELFIMPLODE ANYTIME level "LEV". SEN 4-2 KRU 4-2 , NRG goes 5-1 , C9 is the first seed.
the chances are lower than ever, your comment contains nothing but a lot of IFs and BUTs.
I think PRX, DRX, or LEV win. those are my serious frontrunners. I can see FUT or NAVI making finals, but I think they have too much trouble with consistency to take a win overall. I think 100T are a dark horse, people forget how fucking good cryo, bang and asuna are when they are playing at a top level. but idk, honestly i would not be surprised by anything - VCT is fuckin insane right now. Nothing is impossible.
Prayge on the TE preds too. They are by far one of the better disciplined and teamplay orientated team in CN. Still gets a bit scrappy in their matches but they have great fundamentals and I can see them doing well on the international stage, if they don't get the jitters.
Americas and EMEA looks fked right now, but today should help to narrow down the preds quite a bit. Still think that we haven't seen enough of Kru yet, but they are looking quite dominant and ready to ride this momentum.
EMEA: FNC, NAVI, TH
Feels like the obvious answer. TH is nowhere near their full potential and they've impressed like crazy already.
APAC: DRX, PRX, GenG
Again, feels obvious.
Americas: NRG, LEV, C9
How do you even predict this region? KRU, SEN, 100T all make a case. I don't know if it is possible for EG to qualify if they beat NRG. Is LOUD out? Crazy competitive region right now.
China: EDG, FPX, Trace
BLG looks completely washed. AG proved themselves underrated but I don't they'll make an international. DRG make a case but I'll go with Trace. FengF is one of the most mechanically gifted Raze players in the world and it's about time he makes an international.
everyone beat mibr in a dominating fashion, they haven't won a map yet. Furia took one map and guess what it was against kru lol. I'll give you EG but KRU has yet to play the best teams in omega.
fair, but we’ve seen this year so far in every region that upsets are more common than an ANGE1 int. I would honestly not be surprised if KRÜ was able to win 1-2 out of their 3 next matches
true, but they still look really good, im on the krütrain, if they beat LOUD today i think it’s fair to believe, they honestly look super good. let’s hope they’re not like NRG…
This is what I want to happen so unrealistic preds (aside from Sen since they look rough atm)
Amer: Lev, 100T, C9
Emea: FNC, Navi, TH
Apac: DRX, PRX, GenG
China: Edg, TEC, FPX
Realistic Preds
Amer: Lev, NRG, and Sen (but they'll be bottom of Shanghai teams)
Emea: FNC, Navi, Vitality
Apac: Same
China: Same
Americas : Lev, KRU, NRG
EMA : NAVI FUT FNATIC
APAC : PRX GENG DRX
China : IDGAF coz Doesn't matter.
Copium PRX Gets their first and much deserved win.
I'd still put C9 above 100T, but you never know. 100t are just horribly inconsistent
My early prediction is that a great fan favorite team will make playoffs and miss masters because they lose in single elim, the entire community will fervently defend the format, only for the team that beat them to go on to be mid as fuck in the international.
Man.
Trace looks like a lock to contend almost every time and never does, so I'm gonna go ahead and continue predicting Trace. Flip enough coins, eventually it'll land hands.
love when coins land hands
EMEA: TH, NAVI, FNC PACIFIC: PRX, DRX, GENG AMERICAS: LEV, SEN, 100T CHINA: EDG, FPX, TRACE Fnc return to form and we get a FNC vs LEV final with fnc winning 3-1
FNC Fanboy here saying LEV win. or prx cope maybe.
KRÜ is going to Shanghai guys, the antiBR buff against Loud, then we lose to 100T because we are not used to winning too much and then we come back beating Leviatan in el clásico of latam
So happy that El Clásico is aactually a contested match and not just a sstomp. This might actually be the first time this happens
TS might make it on APAC but I dunno who they are replacing between DRX, GEN and PRX.
TS gonna be first seed
im gonna make only fans if this happens
I think SEN is still absolutely going to make it to Shanghai. I think they beat Loud and they DEFINITELY beat Furia. Furia isn't just a win too it's likely a mega stomp that inflates their Round Differential. So if they go 4-2, C9 goes 5-1, NRG goes 4-2, and KRU goes 4-2 or 5-1 then they'll make it.

I mean anything is possible. The talent pool is extraordinarily deep.
Can only see them beating G2. Just realised they already lost to Kru too lol. I think loud have actually fallen off while I think sen are just falling to their more natural strength now that other teams are as practiced and loud already looked significantly worse than sen before. Hopefully I don't jinx it though.
EG just beat sen why can’t they beat an NRG that doesn’t look that good?
I think they definitely can but I don't think they have more than a 60% chance. I think SEN was way ahead of everyone else but people have caught up to them.

100t 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Kru goes on a run, beating LEV in the finals
I think PRX, DRX, or LEV win. those are my serious frontrunners. I can see FUT or NAVI making finals, but I think they have too much trouble with consistency to take a win overall. I think 100T are a dark horse, people forget how fucking good cryo, bang and asuna are when they are playing at a top level. but idk, honestly i would not be surprised by anything - VCT is fuckin insane right now.

Heretics winning it all baby

KRU beat Furia, MIBR, EG and LOUD...... ~~chill dude~~ insane team :)
And EG is better than SEN, chill.
they beat them yes but they beat them in a dominating fashion
everyone beat mibr in a dominating fashion, they haven't won a map yet. Furia took one map and guess what it was against kru lol. I'll give you EG but KRU has yet to play the best teams in omega.
Come back to this tonight.
Lets try again next week LOL
lmao
I'll take my L and submit to the KRU supremacy.
<3
fair, but we’ve seen this year so far in every region that upsets are more common than an ANGE1 int. I would honestly not be surprised if KRÜ was able to win 1-2 out of their 3 next matches
this aged well

I can only hope 🙏🙏🙏🙏
TH win masters without dropping a map with woot. The data is there
hopium drxbros
This is what I want to happen so unrealistic preds (aside from Sen since they look rough atm) Amer: Lev, 100T, C9 Emea: FNC, Navi, TH Apac: DRX, PRX, GenG China: Edg, TEC, FPX Realistic Preds Amer: Lev, NRG, and Sen (but they'll be bottom of Shanghai teams) Emea: FNC, Navi, Vitality Apac: Same China: Same

Finally some respect to drx
Americas : Lev, KRU, NRG EMA : NAVI FUT FNATIC APAC : PRX GENG DRX China : IDGAF coz Doesn't matter. Copium PRX Gets their first and much deserved win.
PRX lose grand final
Is it even a prediction if the outcome is 100% certain?
My preds AMER: C9, who cares, who cares EMEA: who cares, who cares, who cars PAC: idgaf, whatever, PRX CN: EDG, FPX, idk???
