In the 1-0 pool of teams, MOUZ will be hoping to halt TYLOO's momentum after the Chinese side beat Natus Vincere in the first round, while SK will lock horns with AVANGAR in a re-match of the recent Adrenaline Cyber League final, which the Brazilians won 3-1.

AGO, fresh off beating Virtus.pro, will be looking for their second victory in Kiev against Ninjas in Pyjamas, while Liquid will face GODSENT.

mousesports will go up against TyLoo

The clash between Na`Vi and VG.Flash headline the 0-1 pool, which will also feature a mouth-watering match between two former Major champions, Virtus.pro and Gambit.

NiP actually can do something. VP can't even beat tier 10 teams like Wind and Rain

True but Nip has been in a slump like forever. They won iem Oakland and then that’s it. No qualifying for events. No play offs. No major qualifying. They should just disband.

2018-05-28 21:05

NiP only wins IEM Oakland. It is their curse.

LUL get_out LUL axaxaxaxaxa

2018-05-29 00:06

„no playoffs“, they got to the playoffs in iem katowice and dreamhack masters. They wont win any tournaments soon but they are making playoffs

2018-05-28 23:40

No win = fail

2018-05-31 01:31

rip navi

Ez for sk

not bad

2018-05-28 19:37

ez for GMB

SK vs AVANGAR? LMAO

Avengers time to revenge

ez for top 1 na liquid

Navi almost always has easiest way and still manages to fail here and there

If they loose first map, they loose the game...

2018-05-28 19:44

True, on big events confidence falls so much even when they lose first 4 rounds. Funny how this is the same across amateur and pro teams from CIS

2018-05-29 10:24

What about SK? Easy route af. (I'm a SK fan tho)

2018-05-28 21:09

Ukraine tournament Navi two ukrainian players Navi easy matchups in both rounds Coincidence? I aren't think that

2018-05-28 19:39

rigged af

2018-05-28 19:57

Same at Star Ladder, for sure rigged for them but they are so bad it doesn't really matter either way.

2018-05-28 20:32

0/8 literally half the teams in the tourney are garbage (not an exaggerated number). So given that Na'Vi tanked their first match, there was a 90% chance they would face another garbage team.

-8/8, every other team in the loser bracket is worse than VG

2018-05-28 21:19

rofl, I dont think it matters if you play a tier5 team or a tier4 team when you're one of the best teams in the world. VP, NRG, or Renegades are all easy draws. Gambit and HR aren't that scary either. Not to mention you have Tyloo Avangar and AGO in winners. So stop baiting fatty

2018-05-28 21:42

Who's the one baiting? gyazo.com/5664032c144cf9a922dbcbcd84b702..

2018-05-28 21:44

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? lmao that an attempt of some sort of NA diss or what? Nvm "Signed up 2018-01-22" that explains it

2018-05-28 21:46

3 ua players*

2018-05-28 22:19

My post is "expected" here.

Based on teams performance I rly can see liquid winning this event. Good luck to them

2018-05-28 19:41

2018-05-29 04:02

SK got the team playing with a standin in quarters. Had the easiest lower bracket. Thanks for proving my point :)

2018-05-29 07:52

Wait? Your point was about bottom-tier teams, isn't it? Or u just change know? You just made no sense

2018-05-29 13:53

it's a quarterfinal matchup. ofc there aren't going to be any bottom teams in the quarters lmao. retarded?

2018-05-29 13:55

and in the same tournment, they get astralis too, I'm feeling i'm wasting time with an idiot idk

2018-05-29 04:05

When? I don’t remember SK being in a “championship” for the past 5+ months, and they never beat faze either.

2018-05-28 19:59

Just accept it, they always get the easiest opponents. TyLoo and then Avangar, just lol

2018-05-28 20:18

braindead, tyloo won agaisnt Navi

2018-05-28 20:40

And that means TyLoo is good? Once in a lifetime lucky game or NaVi played their worst game ever. And btw, i meant VG.Flash ... VG.Flash + Avangar to go 2-0 ... They just need one more lucky game after that and they’re through, lol

2018-05-28 21:11

Tyloo has been taking down big teams for two or three tournments. The only reason they're not respected by you is because they are not in your European bubble of teams or because they don't have the money of NA. They're playing just nice and deserve the spot of a tough opponent to face.

2018-05-28 21:35

VG.Flash

2018-05-28 22:24

+1 thats the respect tyloo deserves for their dedication in the past. They're not playing bad, just how you said "they are not as big as EU teams, dont have money like NA". Theyre always underdogs, even though theyre always a challenge for the teams from the bigger regions. IMO they deserve the spot on every single tournament they play, not just because theyre the best of CN, but serious contenders and challengers in every tournament.

2018-05-28 23:59

2-0 Navi inc

>a mouth-watering match between two former Major champions, Virtus.pro and Gambit. Reported MIRAA for bait attempt.

2018-05-28 19:48

mouth-watering as in when you're about to puke

2018-05-28 20:12

EZ FOR THE RIGHT SIDE

2018-05-28 19:47

2018-05-28 19:51

2018-05-28 19:52

sk strong? u sure?

No, SS are. (Sarcasm)

2018-05-28 22:06

Na'vi will probably have chinese restaurant syndrome by the end of this tournament.

Feels like they swapped 1-0 pool with 0-1 pool if you look at the teams lul

lul navi gonna be stunned by yet another chinese team

2018-05-28 19:58

Rip Avangar

GG Tyloo lose

2018-05-28 20:00

Ez 3-0 for liquid and SK lol

2018-05-28 20:03

2018-05-28 20:17

SK so lucky.

2018-05-28 20:20

like always AssK Gayming with the ez draw so they can accomplish an undeserved playoff placing for beating tier4 teams xD

2018-05-28 20:24

Goodbye Renegades, was nice knowing ya.

2018-05-28 20:28

Nice. Matchs losers > Matchs Winners

2018-05-28 20:46

Ago < NiP Mouz > Tyloo Sk > Avangar GOD < Liquid VP < Gambit NRG < North Navi > VG RNG < HR

2018-05-28 20:49

After Navi , Mousesport?? WTF, why tyloo always got tough opponent ? What a rigged draw by starSeeries.

2018-05-28 21:01

You have to win 3 matches anyway. You get a total of 5 attempts maximum to do so. Eventually they will play the bottom tier teams regardless. Even if they had 2 easy teams their first 2 games, they would end up playing 2 strong teams after they go 2-0. That is the whole point of this pool process, so all these complaints about match ups are stupid af.

2018-05-28 21:07

Its about momentum not just concept , smart man,,

2018-05-28 21:43

No it's not about momentum. They don't play all their games on the same day. You're either too stupid to understand the concept behind this format or you like to believe in blind luck. To go 3-0 facing shit teams the whole time is a probability of less than 1%

Really? Im not say that Tyloo have to got 3 ez team to win, but Still Mousesport > than other team that win 1-0, Look SK they have opponent like VG and Anvangar,i guest they are the 1% 😬 your probability is rigged too i guest , 2-0 will be different than 1-1 , especially to boost mentality for tyloo guys. At least give tyloo player some room to breath,, Is not "format" that the problem but the "DRAW" is not to good for tyloo,, I think you just overthinking what the main problem is, and just try soo hard to looking smart,,

2018-05-29 12:54

SK so lucky hahahahhaha

2018-05-28 21:08

Well, I wouldn’t say that. Considering the well played match by Tyloo against NaVi, and the fact that SK was eliminated in Sydney by Grey-smth, I see an easy 2-0 for the chinas.
