Fnatic definitely have a lot of work to do in their off-day before this game.

This matchup is overall going to come down to aproto's and thief's performances. If nitr0, asuna, and the rest of the gang shut them down, it'll be easy for them. However, aproto and thief are fairly consistent and I'd say that makes these games close. Statistically, Bind and Ascent are gonna be hard for any team to beat 100 Thieves on, but LG probably will put on a decent showing on Icebox, Split, or Haven. I'm guessing 100T is gonna win Ascent and Haven but LG will win Icebox. 2-1 100T

This gives a whole new meaning to that "Press 4 to Defuse" show or whatever. I guess some players actually need that guideline.

I think part of the reason Immortals is so successful is their aggressiveness, unpredictability, and set-up for fraggers. Shot up is one of the better aimers in NA with very aggressive habits to boot. A team with enough preparation can quench Immortals, which might be their downfall in this tournament. On the other side, GenG is definitely the underdog in this series, coming off of an intense victory over TSM. They're a much slower-paced team than immortals. This match will come down to who will control the pace of the game and cool-headedness from GenG. It's not going to be a close series either way imo. 2-0 IMT

I think XSET is a highly underrated team. Realistically, with their current squad with practice, they've only lost to Sentinels and Immortals. Envy seems better than they were in their previous matchup, but to me Envy doesn't have that high potential like XSET does. BcJ is a beast. Envy doesn't create enough upsets for them to triumph in this one imho. 2-0 XSET

Didn't FNATIC pick bind?
