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).
