Head-to-head
Past Matches
I hate to say this, but I think there is not a single drop of doubt in the ocean of possibilities that EDG doesn't win this series with a clean sheet. RNG has looked good and has great players such as Minimise, Swerl, and xiaonuo, but like the Trace Esports match against EDG last time, I just don't know if they have what it takes to beat a team on EDG's level. 2-0 EDG win.
Honestly, I think the most difficult outcomes to predict will be these potential matches: TE vs RNG in lowers, BLG vs TE rematch in lowers, FPX vs RA (they're both on similar level), and I guess you could argue that ASE vs TYLOO could be questionable but I think TYLOO is the weakest team in their group.
Overall, I don't think we'll see any big upsets this round of the tournament, but I do think we'll see BLG reclaim their top 4 status by knocking out TE. FPX should probably beat RA given that they pick the right maps, and chances are that RA could beat ASE to qualify for the next stage.
If y'all have any suggestions to modify my pick'em, please don't be shy to tell me, because I do want to try to make a perfect pick'em. Thank you!

I agree some of the matches will 100% be close, I originally wanted to put some copium and say rng beats blg in lowers but that isn't happening lmao it would be a crazy upset and then they would have to beat TE. I think BLG has been strong recently but I believe TE has been cooking and are gonna show an impressive performance. I def think that FPX and RA are basically the ones fighting for 2nd place lmao, and it sucks they are in the same group (for the other teams) Only time will tell to see these matches and yeah Tyloo is prob the worst team in groups

See, like... that TE vs BLG elimination match is so goddamn annoying to predict! Like, yes BLG have been playing alright recently, but TE stomped them 2-0 last time. Additionally, imo BLG isn't too strong of a team right now, I'd gladly say that RA or even FPX could beat them. But can BLG beat TE twice? The RA vs FPX series is also slightly more difficult to foresee a result imo because both games last act had different outcomes. But I do think that there are certain maps where FPX's strategies just can't be countered by RA (ex. Lotus). Overall, I think your pick'ems are pretty solid and you've clearly put thought into it. Cheers!
I think we should just explain xiaonuo's performance as a bad day tbh. We all have days where we don't perform well and when it's against one of the world's top teams, it's even harder to get the results you want. Watching RNG's previous games, I really thought that xiaonuo was one of their better players alongside Minimise and SWERL, and it really saddened me to see what happened today.
