So thats how i see this: PENTA vs Gatekepeers Potential for Gatekepeers to upset, would say 70/30 for PENTA Space Soldiers vs Imperial Imperial r pretty good, but they got worst enemy possible. 75/25 for SS Kinguin vs Outlaws 50/50 but if i would have to choose I would say Outlaws fnatic Academy vs Red Reserve Would say 60/40 for fnatic acd., but both will fight to the last kill. So semi-finals: PENTA vs Space Soldiers [with SS winning] Outlaws vs fnatic Academy [Outlaws taking it] And the final SS vs Outlaws with a 2:1 victory to SS

PENTA vs Gatekeepers 80/20 for PENTA i just dont see an upset would happen. Space Soldiers vs Imperial 60/40 SS. Balkan derby.Those 2 teams know eachother very well.Eventhough ss has been changed back then and improved a lot.Yet i cannot say it would be easy for them. Kinguin vs Outlaws Its really 50/50.Kinguin has been struggling but considering GeForce Cup will be in Poland and experiement difference i would give them 50% chance.On the other hand, Outlaws is playing really good lately.Especially cerQ incoming top talent.I feel like Outlaws will win. fnatic Academy vs Red Reserve 60/40 for Red Reserve.Such a risky match to bet.I really believe Red Reverse are better team but its fnatic academy tho always upsets so.

The main goal atm for Kinguin is minor, I think that they have a chance as its being played in Poland but rather they will save the strats. Big role for Outlaws will be cerQs form, but Outlaws should take it. Gatekepeers acutally got a good chance with upset, still 75/25 like for me. Well, in SS vs Imperial I still would say thats at least a 70/30 for SS. Red Reserve isnt better than fnatic acd, at the best theyre equal. Will stay with 60/40 for fnatic acd

2017-05-23 19:33

All right okey but kinguin 80-20

2017-05-23 19:26

Ur prediction is way to high u need to cut it cut it cut it none of this teams got such an high adventage. I mean that should end with Outlaws winning 2:1, losing one map somehow

2017-05-23 19:55

Red Reserve just beat Fnatic Academy in a beat of 3 so I would give them a bit of an edge but it will be close.

They should invite this new team "NiP", it won against Epsilon at the minor qualifier and looks like a solid T4 team for this event.
