The g2 vs misfits final is hard for me to get excited about. All of EU has been insanely inconsistent. I think there's a really good chance of msf, g2 or both not showing up for the finals. I think msf will choke and g2 will take it 3-0. In general I don't care who wins as long as we get a good match and I have pretty low expectations for this.

I think imt vs tsm will be a fantastic match. Both teams are prioritizing similar picks and were each others main scrim partners during the semi finals. I think both teams pretty much know what the other team's strat will be ahead of time. I'm pretty sure we're going to see some juggermaw, mid lane adc, and cass priority. I think tsm will be the first time 3 consecutive split champion winning 3-2.

TSM vs IMT bleeds SSW vs SSB 2014 Worlds to me, both teams are great, but the series itself won't be as exciting as people make it out to possibly being.
While both Pobelter and Cody have been great but we gotta remember they're facing Bjergsen and D-Lift, two players regarded as #1 in both positions that they play in. While for both Pobelter and Cody but mainly for Pobleter, improved no doubt, they won't win too many exchanges in their lanes, nto without Xmithie's help.
And with that, Xmithie and Svenskeren will both be the outcomes for their respective teams/costing them wins. We've seen Sven cost TSM and even SK games in the past with his over aggression. We've also seen Xmithie at times have really bad jungle paths(not this year, MVP tho).
This series will go down like this, Xmtihie and Sven will play a game of chess around top-side for both Flame and Hauntzer and overall, I see IMT winning that duo more times than not, but even tho, I'm taking EXP over potential for this series.

G2 vs MFS this really needs to be the time for PowerofEvil to actually win the Finals, this will be his 3rd trip to the EU Finals on 3 different teams(UOL-OG-MFS) and while he puts up decent numbers he does indeed "choke" for the most part.
I say Misfits mainly because Expect at times looks lost and is either late to TP in to help or doesn't show up, as well as Zven and Mithy just aren't these super carries on big stagesj, ever since 2015 Worlds both Zven and Mithy but mainly Zven have shrunk greatly(cursed ?) Overall, I see the EU series being a fairly long series within 5 games but very slow(41-42 average game length).

Yeah, for me I just find both series boring due to the sheer lack of implications on the matches. G2 and misfits have both already qualified for worlds, making this more of a "show match" than anything, while from what I can understand the only way IMT doesn't make it to worlds is if dig beats CLG.

The gauntlet is going to be something to keep an eye on, as dignitas (assuming they don't beat CLG and IMT don't beat tsm) stand a very real chance of making it to worlds while EU is a hot mess where pretty much every team has a shot at it (challenger teams included, as at this point you have to think that PSG or giants could viably beat one of the gauntlet teams in a bo5).

IMT is guaranteed worlds as is TSM. And both will have group 2 seeds at worlds. The match makes absolutely no difference as far as worlds goes.
G2 and Misfits winner gets a group 1 seed. Loser a group 2. Other than not getting Korea #1, A #1 doesn't seem to be that much of an advantage over #2 because you might still get SKT in your group.

I find TSM/IMT series boring because people think it will be this "EPIC" in which I don't see it as such, close yes but epic no. I like Immortals, they're fun to watch and all but again, this team reminds me of SamSung Blue, where they're pretty good with plays around the map and objectives but as individuals that's something to be desired.
When Worlds comes I don't see Immortals being this great team, but more so as LMQ 2014 Worlds, they will win a couple of games and all but overall, that's about it. All 4 teams from TSM-IMT-MFS-G2 have all punched their tickets to Worlds, and now like what BBB said it really doesn't matter, the winner of the series gets the #2 seeds most likely like(SK Telecom T1/AHQ Esports/Edward Gaming/RNG) while the loser gets the #1 seeds. So, there's really 0 reason, especially for NA losing our #1 seed. lol, you either be in a group with LZ that beat SKT or you go in a group with SKT !
