If it's XSET-FNATIC: the derke/cryo battle will determine who wins the series. zekken will be instrumental in helping set up cryo to win that battle which will lead XSET to a 2-1 win.

If it's XSET-100T: XSET's mental won't be able to handle to ginormous amount of bang/Derrek clutches as well as Asuna's entrying. I think this is where 100T starts really heating up (if they get here) and carry that momentum to at least the upper bracket finals. 2-1 100T, weeb diff.

If it's OpTic-TL: el diablo diff. 2-0 OpTic.

If it's OpTic-PRX: OpTic finally beat a great APAC team, because of team diff (it's actually not just yay and friends lol) PRX will still give OpTic trouble but OpTic still win 2-1.

If it's DRX-FPX: DRX will have the perfect combo of BuZz diff and team play to be able to beat FPX 2-1 (but in 3 OT).

If it's DRX-KRU: complete team diff, DRX 2-0.

If it's Leviatan-ZETA: super easy game for Leviatan, they win 2-0 Melser goes crazy

If it's Leviatan-LOUD: the Melser/Tacolilla combo will be too much for LOUD to handle but a close series anyways, 2-1 Leviatan. (Taco diff)

This is going to be the closest of the four remaining games before playoffs. FNATIC ban Pearl, 100T ban Bind and we get a completely different series, map wise, from the first FNC-100T match. Will goes absolutely nuts like he did in the first match and dominates Derke which helps 100T barely squeak out a 2-1 win.

NagZ will go crazy but suygetsu and ardiis will outshine him and FPX will team dif KRU, 2-0 FPX. (ANGE1 Yoru incoming!!)

Very close game but I think PRX's creativity will beat out TL's talent. AT LEAST 1 map will go to 3+ rounds of OT. 2-1 PRX

good run zeta, but loud are just too good right now, 2-1 loud
