easily IWD

IWD has almost a 100% chance of going 2-0 this week which means higher lcs points

Xmithie on the other hand has a high chance of going 2-0 as well but not as high IMO as dont count out the 3-1 gravity... Altec and bunny been synching really well on stage lately and i think that game has a higher chance to upset XMithie to a 1-1 week

Goodluck

What TPLEGS says just less exaggerated/over-confident about the odds. If you take a quick glance at statistics, sure IWD has outscored Xmithie in both W1 and W2. However, IWD has also had a far easier W1 (TDK & T8) yet XMithie scores nearly as well (vs Dig & TiP) but you could say somewhat the opposite about W2. So from recent, there's no way to really tell; at best I'd give the slightest of edges to IWD.

Now as for W3, TL is up against C9 and TiP whereas CLG is up against GV and EnE.
I would have to disagree with the statement that IWD has almost a 100% chance of going 2-0 or necessarily be the better scorer due to the matchups: To say that a 3-1 team is naturally better than a 2-2 team right now would be ignorant. EnE faced GV, TSM, and TL whereas TiP faced TSM and CLG. All the 3-1 teams besides CLG faced only 1 other 3-1 team. If you even look at C9, they faced TSM, Dig, GV, TiP.

TL vs C9: TL will most likely win. CLG vs GV: This will definitely be a tough match but I'd give CLG the advantage.

TL vs TiP: As previously mentioned, TiP lost to TSM and CLG; easily 2 of the top 3 teams. I would not count TiP out. At most, I'd give TL a 60-40 advantage. CLG vs EnE: Similar to the TL vs TiP predicament however I'd give CLG a far larger edge.

IWD will be the safer option due to the arguably easier week and higher score in previous weeks. However I'd still say it's a coinflip in terms of who scores higher. I'd give IWD at best a 10 point advantage.
