I think he's taking next year off ... gotta put in the time to learn Chinese, after all.

FNC, and it won't be close. They ban Pearl, because they always ban it. They ban Fracture, because they aren't idiots. They pick Lotus first, to ruin EG's mental (they destroyed PRX on it, and EG lost to PRX on it ... so FNC will absolutely shit on EG on it.) The rest doesn't matter.

FNC 3-0 EG, unless they troll with their map bans. Then it's EG 3-2 FNC.

Yes, this. SEN beat 100T with a braindead IGL. Now that they have an IGL with more than two braincells to rub together, there's no way they lose ... to 100T, at least.

Let's be generous and say
C9 2-1 SEN
C9 2-0 100T

So, win or lose, Lev are in because they either beat LOUD, or their worst possible map differential is zero. FURIA are in, because their map differential is less negative than EGs or SENs are.

SEN 2-0 = NRG needs to 2-0 EG
SEN 2-1 = A couple of divine miracles need to occur for them to make playoffs (i.e. Good luck at LCQ.)
SEN 1-2 = Good luck at LCQ

That point comes in about two days, when Sentinels end their season, and have time to look for a new sub for LCQ.

FURIA had an easier time against KRU than SEN did. FURIA's duelist does duelist things better than SEN's duelist. It's gonna be FURIA 2-0.
