This time, star commentators and analysts presented their predictions: Mauisnake, Launders, Stýko, Hawka, TravCS, s1mple, Banks, MacMate, Vince, Flom, Ohnepixel, Nart and Chopper. Their predictions show which teams, in their opinion, will leave the first stage with a score of 3:0, 3:1, 3:2, and which will leave the tournament with a score of 0:3.
All the experts unanimously believe in HEROIC, putting them at 3-0. The opinions of others about the second team, which will advance to the next stage of the tournament with a 3-0 series, were divided among four organizations: BB Team, B8, Complexity, and NRG.
Opinions about outsiders who will leave the tournament after the first stage are also not unanimous. Experts are most confident that the tournament will be a quick one for the Major debutants from Mongolia, Chinggis Warriors. Also, many do not expect to see Brazilian team Fluxo in the second stage.
It’s interesting to note that four people bet that the American organization NRG will leave the tournament with three consecutive 0-3 defeats. At the same time, the legendary pro player S1mple is confident that they will win all three matches of the starting stage. Is this a mistake from the legendary player or does he know more?
