    Any thoughts on who will make the Upper Bracket next week in Group Stage? What 2 teams are most likely going to get knocked out?

      i still didnt mark anything ! any 5k+ post their ss si i can copy them ? cuz i m sure any5k+ wud be better at predticting than me :D

        My current Top 8 for the Upper Bracket is: EG, DC, Newbee, Fnatic, LGD, Virtus, Cloud9, Team Liquid.

        For the eliminations: Infamous and Hellraisers

        Anyone else care to speculate?

          You'd really put Fnatic over TNC? I hate to sound like a fanboy just because i'm filipino. Also, DC top 8 would be stretching it, they haven't done much in LANs. The rest I can see making top 8.
          For eliminations, maybe Execration will be knocked out instead of HR.

            Fnatic has seen 2 internationals to TNC's 1 - I think it gives them an edge there.

            If you are filipino you should like my Execration pick over Hellraisers! ;) I don't know why but I think Execration is going to be a dark horse this one.

            You may be right about DC - so it might be my own US bias there! ;)

                Its not n the Compendium - this is just predictions for the Group Stage in general - like if you were actually doing a sports bracket pool or something. Pick your top 8, your bottom 8 - then fill out the bracket. I haven't done my bracket yet - but I am looking at the Group Stage and wondering who might surprise this year and who will get knocked out before the Main Event.

                  Groups have been posted! Any further predictions? My Top 4 from Group A: EG, Liquid, LGD Gaming, Fnatic and my Top 4 from Group B: DC, Newbee, Virtus, Cloud9. Haven't really seen anyone else's predictions for the Group Stage? Is it just too soon to tell for people?

                    hr, execration and infamous are the underdogs, xctn slightly better than the other two
                    top8 from my perspective should be eg, og, liquid, vp, lgd, newbee, secret, ig.

                    Totentanz to The King: M ...

                      I think the LGD/Lfy/iG trio will fail miserably and only Newbee will be an ok contender. So I will go with group A: EG Liquid Fnatic Secret group B: OG Newbee VP C9

                        I agree on Execration surviving over HR and Infamous. SFP - why do you predict an LGD full collapse? I agree that Newbee will be a contender - but also think LGD Gaming will hold their own and perform well on the big stage - lots of International experience there.

                          SA team will get eliminated is all I know for sure.

                            I just don't think they were ever really that good, just some lucky streaks in tournaments. This is TI, everything can happen, but I don't think they are on par with the top teams.

                            superpoops

                              I guess LGD experience on the big stage counts for something for me - lucky streaks in the TI are still experience in the TI. Secret is doing awesome but has only seen one TI. Ultimately you are right though - its the TI - everything can happen!

                                Even when sg esports took out secret and a game off eg at keiv it felt more like the opposing teams not playing up to their level than sg really beating them.
