Top 4?

SKT is obvious number one, and WE has solidified a number two spot. Who do y'all think will be three and four?

Based on tomorrow's match-ups I REALLY doubt G2 will be up there because a) first match is against SKT and b) NA beat them last game. Though even Bjergsen was saying it could go either way. Assuming they DO beat TSM that puts 'em at 4-6 though.

GAM, if they pull their heads out, could likely manage a 2-0 but, but I'm expecting 1-1 at best, personally. I think they're doing too well in every early game to end 3-7. 4-6 worst case, 5-5 best case.

TSM, I REALLY want them to win for obvious reasons, and I think they can (assuming they let Hauntzer carry, Sven doesn't feed, and bot keeps control of their lane). I'm HOPING for a 2-0 tomorrow but expecting 1-1. So again, 4-6 worst case and 5-5 best.

FW, while they're obviously a strong team, I feel like they've been way too inconsistent. Unlike G2 though, they thankfully don't have to go up against SKT, so they DO have a chance to pull a 2-0, but I'm honestly expecting a 0-2.

So I'm hoping:

  1. SKT (obviously)
  2. WE (also obviously)
  3. TSM, tied with
  4. GAM

While we're on the subject though, what happens if we end with the bottom four all with the same score again? First MSI I'm watching, so I got no clue.

SKT VS G2 : Winner SK Telecom T1 ( First game was actually pretty fun to watch at first but it was really just a 40+min snuff film of G2 just letting SKT do what they want; like what most teams do when facing SKT and that's just fold under their SKT name/history. However, G2 has really nothing to lose in this game as they are against the best team in the world so at least go down swinging and I think that's what G2 will do but SKT wins it.

TSM VS FW : Winner Flash Wolves Talent ? FW - Check TSM - Check All Star potential ? FW-Check TSM-Check Proven history of beating top tier teams ? FW- Check TSM........... TSM................? Point is Flash Wolves are coming off a high beating SKT while for TSM they've coming off a high of beating GAM and losing to SKT. Flash Wolves beaten them before and they will most likely do it again.

WE VS GAM : Winner Gigabyte Marines Going with the under-dog in this one, I like GAM I think they are pretty much being ignored as a true potential Worlds 2017 competitors and will play like so against Team WE. I'm going to go to say this team actually reminds me of Flash Wolves way back in 2013 or so when Flash Wolves were called The Gamania Bears, they only need a little bit more time to be a true team or have they already done so?

SKT VS WE : Winner SK Telecom T1 Team WE reminds me of Royal Never Gives Up(Pre UZI) similar to how they played at MSI 2016, fast and smart but it's not going to be enough to beat SKT; in my opinion.

FW VS GAM : Winner Flash Wolves I personally can't wait for this game as I'm thinking it could be either a fast as s%it game with 300 kills or a game that goes 50 mins long either or I don't mind but I'm hoping for a 50+ min game.

TSM VS G2 : Winner G2 Esports I could say X point vs X point etc etc but it's TSM/NA and at the end of the day no team breaks the hearts of NA fans more so than the team that gets so much hype, so much love, so much attention. It's like the Dallas Cowboys no matter how good they are in their division when it comes to important games they tend to just flop and it's no difference here.

SKT 9-1 WE 5-5 ( no need for tie-breaker vs FW since they already 2-0 them) FW 5-5 ( above) G2 4-6 ( 5-6- Wins tie-breaker vs GAM) ........................................... GAM 4-6 ( 4-7) TSM 3-7

If there is a 4 way tie for 3rd then the 4 teams randomly draw into a 4 team elimination bracket. The winners of each first round game will move on and play each other for the 3rd and 4th seed the losers of the first round are eliminated.

I don't bet on FW unless it's vs SKT. They still have problems closing out games against teams they should be better than. I'm thinking TSM will beat G2 again, despite them getting incredibly lucky the first time. Though G2 have desperation on their side.

I think the top four will be:

SKT WE GAM TSM
