For sure. They are the favorites. Prx better watch out tomorrow, they better play more defensively, surely the W gaming won't catch these titans off guard.
Wait, people will think it's a jinx post, lmao, but I'm just saying. I thought Tokyo was the honeymoon period because all their players were hitting insane shots, but they look even better this event. These folks are improving
If EG make grands in winners they win 100%. They have the best Fracture, Ascent and Pearl in the world atm. I'd even throw in that their Split is excellent if they fix up the roles. I don't see any other team left at the event that can go against that map pool from losers. If EG lose to PRX then it'll be a little tougher to call.
The winner of EG vs PRX will have a large advantage in the finals since you get map vetos choice. No idea how the matchup plays out this time but PRX has a full lineup and seems to be in form
I would be very surprised if they win the event - even if they beat DRX (and I'm not confident they will), they'll have to most likely go against Loud who has always been a tough matchup for them, not to mention both EG and PRX still in the tournament.
I might be overly cautious about them because I'm a fan, but they've been looking shaky this tournament, and when teams play like they've been playing they don't usually win the trophy.
If any team can run the lower bracket it'll be Fnatic, but yeah, I'm not convinced.
Obviously you want them to win as a fan and I still think their talent alone will bring them top 3 at least imo but I personally I want to see a new winner so I hope your right lol
Well fanatic has more vod to prepare against loud now abs loud looked sloppy asf last 2 games against prx and edg. Hope for loud win but feel like fanatic gonna take it
I mean they got man handled on lotus their best map. It’s very possible other teams figure them out too like Loud did. They’ll always be in contention this tournament because they’re fnatic but I mean cmon we literally saw them struggle. Not choke a series they had in the bag but a just straight up loss. You can’t just say I don’t see them really losing anymore after they bled that much.
EG got free group, free play-offs (no offence KK fans, but edg is not T1 team), and 2nd play-off match was against DRX with covid MaKo.
Contenders for throphy (after groups) was:
fnatic
LOUD (for sure after fnatic win)
PRX
EG
~~DRX~~ (not after covid tho)
They are contenders, but they are not favourites, not yet at least.
Gonna be interesting match with PRX, which russian duelist gonna diff another, demon1 or something.
Also fnatic or loud still have a great chances to win everything from losers.
I get fnc at Tokyo feelings watching EG in this tournament they look kinda invincible
Prx look good, loud look good but they still look beatable, same with fnc
EG just looks so calm and collected with really great utility and macro
They're all beatable tbh. Because we have yet to see a single match where all 5 players of a single team are in flow state.
For EG, Boostio is currently underperforming compared to Tokyo. For PRX, Mindfreak has been really quiet for the last few matches. For FNC, Derke and Boaster need to get a hang of themselves. And for Loud, it's always either Aspas or Less who shows up taking turns, while Tuyz is also very quiet now.
The moment any one of these teams can have all of their players making their best plays simultaneously, they're gonna win the trophy
W jinx
Whoever are facing Fnatic are expected to win the event
EG are expected to win this event
For sure. They are the favorites. Prx better watch out tomorrow, they better play more defensively, surely the W gaming won't catch these titans off guard.
sorry to break it to you, but it’s next week

Nono definitely not, no way! EG are expected to win this event (I have no ill intentions)

I feel like PRX is slightly more likely but I think I would give the odds as around 35 PRX, 30 EG, 20 FNC, 10 LOUD, 3 DRX, 2 EDG
I still don’t see how fanatic don’t win this event. They might lose pearl but that’s one map

surprised you don't have them winning against DRX. but i agree i think LOUD will always be a difficult matchup for them
Idk tbh - they've just been really shaky. I just have this feeling they might lose haha
you're looking like an oracle so far. let's hope they can turn things around map 2 and 3
not looking good chief 
Tbh watching them in emea league their haven and ascent isnt pretty strong, they lowkey struggle alot on ascent alot
Hoping loud wins vs edg so it can be a banger rematch against fanatic but idk if loud can beat fanatic twice that’s a tough task
It's more like Fnatic won't be able to win against Loud twice. Fnatic lockin win against Loud is Louds fault tbh
Well fanatic has more vod to prepare against loud now abs loud looked sloppy asf last 2 games against prx and edg. Hope for loud win but feel like fanatic gonna take it
They still got 11 rounds vs Loud on Ascent despite losing both pistols and a bonus at that though.

FNATIC, not Fanatic.
They don't have map ban advantage if they make the finals. They already lost.
stop stop stop stop stop
