So I did it.

I have ANX winning Worlds in my Pick'em.

In group stages I had

ROX 1 CLG 2 ANX 3 G2 4

I predicted G2 to go 0-6 (they went 1-5, close enough). I watched IWCQ and was thoroughly impressed with ANX. I knew they deserved to be at Worlds, and expected them to take both games off G2 and one off ROX to go to 3-3. I expected ROX to beat CLG twice, G2 twice, and ANX once to go 5-1 atop the group, then expected CLG to take two off G2 and two off ANX to go 4-2 and advance with them.

Then ANX beat ROX in the early game. Then G2 went several thousand gold up on ROX. ANX beat CLG and G2 alike, then went on to beat ROX. I realized there was a world where ANX won the group, CLG advanced, and ROX went home (which was what happened if CLG beat ROX the second time). ROX managed to turn it around in the eleventh hour, but ANX advanced.

And I learned one thing -- do NOT bet against Albus NoX Luna.
