Astralis and more specifically device have been playing incredibly poor for their standards. Hopefully, they can pick it up but its definitely in the realm of possibility that Astralis don't make it out of groups.

Device is so sloppy. Never checking corners. He would never be doing that previously as he'd be on the AWP holding the angles. It's going to be a long and hard role change.

Imo G2 are the perfect underdog killers. they have the superior skill of a Super team, but play as loose as a Tier3 team.

An aggresive CT push from G2 will seal it. Scoreboard doesn't tell the whole story here, fair to say some unlucky sprays cost QBF 2 rounds.

Karrigan's aim is absolutely on point. So many first shot HS but 4 times he didn't finish them off. Legit could be the reason they don't have more rounds.
Don't know if it says a more about Karrigan or how fast SK are.

u/super_shogun Complexity Jan 21 '18 edited Jan 22 '18
mousesports vs. Vega
I'm confident Mouz will take this, especially if it goes to Mirage (which it did right as I was typing this). I think it will be a good game though, probably around 16-10 to Mouz
Post game: I have no idea what to take away from this game. Did Mouz play well, or did Vega play poorly and Mouz had an easy time as a result, or maybe a bit of both? Or is this just the normal Vega and previous matches have skewed the community perception of the team? I think Vega becoming less of an unknown quantity with each match they play is hurting them, teams are figuring out how to counter their aggressive style.
Liquid vs. Na'Vi
There's no way Na'Vi can lose to Liquid with a coach, r-right? Hopefully this will be a stomp from Na'Vi.
Post game: Kind of scary to think that it could have been much closer if Twistzz didn't have such a bad game. A bit closer then I would have guessed but Na'Vi didn't seem to get in gear until the second half.
QBFire vs. G2
Just like the Liquid vs. Na'Vi match, I don't see a universe where G2 loses this game even if it is a BO1. G2 have looked way to good this tournament to lose a game like this.
Post game: ResidentSleeper
fnatic vs. Astralis
This is a tough one, but I'm going to give fnatic the edge here. Astralis have played extremely poorly in their last 2 games, and while they did have that insane comback vs. North yesterday, I don't think a team like fnatic will allow something like that to happen. It's easy to tilt North, but not fnatic.
Post game: Pretty much what I expected, Astralis tried to start something at the end but fnatic are too experienced to let the game slip away from them. Even without Krimz's great performance I don't think this was set out to be a very close game. Given how confident I am the C9 will beat VP, I guarantee C9 will draw Astralis tomorrow :(
BIG vs. North
North looks pretty awful, but BIG look even worse. I think BIG could win this if k0nfig plays as poorly as he did yesterday vs. Astralis, but I'm pretty sure North should take this one. It's make for a pretty short documentary if North went 0-3 :)
Post game: North
looksisprettyvery awfulSK vs. FaZe
This is the one matchup I've been dreading since I picked SK as my 3-0 team. I think SK could take this, but they'd have to play extremely well. FaZe have looked very good after coming out of the qualifying stage. I don't beleive their losses to Vega, etc. tell anything about their performance.
Post game: I've never been so upset to be right, RIP pick'em. Haven't had a single 3-0 or 0-3 pick right so far. Great T side from FaZe, and what a game from Guardian
Virtus Pro vs. Cloud9
Unless Virtus Pro. have some sort of secret cryogenic facility where they've been storing clones of their 2015 selves to use for today's match I think C9 should win this one, despite the history between the two teams. It would be extremely embarrassing if Cloud9 lost to VP in this form.
Post game: I feel bad for VP, but I also feel bad knowing that Cloud9 will probably get boned by their draw. Please not Astralis. Anyone but Astralis. LATER EDIT: OH FUCK FUCKS SAKE GOD DAMN IT
Space Soldiers vs. Gambit
Gambit look really solid, and while Space Soldiers had a great performance vs. C9 yesterday I don't feel confident that they will be able to replicate it. If it goes to Cobblestone I could see SS winning this one though. This is another game I can see going 16-10.
Post game: Almost thought I was going to get this one down to the score with that Dosia clutch, but unfortunately Gambit couldn't close it out. Speaking of Dosia, he played great. This was a good match to end the day on, and 7/8 isn't too bad I guess. Shame my pick'em isn't mirroring that :/
If you read this entire comment, bless you. I didn't expect to type this much but I have no friends to explain my predictions to ;-;
