The Most likely upset

#1

ZoldyK

VS - C9
(Even if VS looks better atm , but i feel the Kayo is a huge nerf to VS especially because they like to pop with a lot of utilities in the site)
FS - FNATIC
(FNC looking shaky since Iceland)
VK - ACEND
(Acend needs a game or two to perform at LAN at their best)
SEN - LIQUID
(idk but i feel Liquid will choke in the groups a little especially against a top tier team like SEN)

You asked 'by who', did you not? I simply gave an answer. Now whether or not you want to agree with those rankings is up to you. I'm simply answering your question.

Those ratings are based on the number of tournaments/pro matches being played right? I'm pretty sure other than vct fnatic played one or two tournaments the whole year

In Sen - Liquid, Liquid losing won't be called as an upset, yeah liquid is in better form, and Sen wasn't in their best form last tourney but still any team losing against Sen shouldn't be called upset.

i think given the current perception and general consensus, SEN beating Liquid would be a surprise and thus an upset for most people.

yeah i agree its an upset if sen beat liquid , considering how literally everyone , the community and plat chat people also , are rating liquid higher than sen , its an upset forsure

i mean if you forget the past of Sentinels , its like V1 vs Liquid in Iceland , because SEN is the 2nd best NA team and Liquid is potentially the favourites
So if you put SEN in V1's boots beating Liquid is an upset

how wouldnt it be an upset, most people told , it would be an achievement if SEN were top 8 , and for liquid - they are heavy favourites and have a HUGE chance to win the whole thing , so a "top 8 team" beating a favourites isnt an upset , especially on how ppl are rating sen after berlin

Liquid is easily better then Sen right now, but I still disagree respectfully, I still think people are crazy underestimating Sen based on their Berlin performance.

I mean it might not be an upset considering the history of both the teams but majority of people are rating Liquid as #1 contenders for the trophy and losing against SEN might change the entire orientation of the tourney and it will be all back to NA>EMEA
So its not just a win at the line in that match

Exactly. Wtf is this take ? An upset occurs in a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports, when the party popularly expected to win, either loses a game with an underdog whom the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom. In this case liquid vs Sen is 50/50 match. So clearly it is not an upset.

most likely upset is VKS vs CR , since no matter who wins it could be called an upset since we don't really know who's better. So 100% chance of upset. i kinda cheated here tho lol

They will win.
In their first series, they won 2 rounds.
In their second series, they won 20 rounds.
Therefore, in their third series they will win 200 rounds.
CR on top

Tbf dropping maps is completely normal like gambit lost to 100T and went on to win the tourney den losing to f4q doesn’t mean too much

Sen beating liquid wouldn't be an upset man, Sen might be on the same tier as Liquid and other top teams and we just haven't seen it yet

SentInLs beating Liquid isn't a upset. We don't know what SentInLs can provide and Liquid has only shined on online regional events.

vk is a potential upset team against both nv and acend.
furia could potentially do something agaisnt sen/tl
team secret could impress people and even qual as i feel not many people rate them highly
fs could certainly make it out of group d and pull off some upsets

acend may choke but not against vk. i only believe in heat but cned has him covered so even if his team underperforms i think acend has enough there to pull through with a team with relatively weaker mental like vk. acend doesnt have the strongest mental either, but theres enough pedigree there to believe in them.

How is liquid-sen an upset? A an upset is when a team wins against extremely hard/overwhelming odds, SEN vs liquid like maybe 55/45 at best in favor of liquid
