All teams and players are present, so, I don't think so unless somewhere between now and the International something really bad happens to one of the teams. |

am i the only one who thinks group B is alot harder to predict a top 4 then group A?
The brackets are Nice for asian teams. Zenith and LGD should have no problem top 4 in that group.
In group B is the 3 best euro teams imho, and IG. I feel like its a much harder group to judge because i dont follow the "Mid" level pro asain teams that often.
I predict
LGD
Zenith
EG
DK
mTw
Navi
IG
(Insert random team)

Very tough to predict anything, Atleast i haven't seen much from all of the teams. Na'Vi is pretty good guess for starters obviously.
Hoping to see some epic shit this and next weekend. Last edit: 2012-08-25 05:23:23 |

Neither Group is going to be easy. It's important to note that coming Top 4 in your group, and then winning even a single match in the Main Event will guarantee you Top 8 overall. Getting Top 4 in your group will perhaps be the most important set of games for any team at TI2 actually. The risk of Bo1 Loser Bracket and the fact you have to play twice as many games to get to the Finals is enough I believe for teams to start pulling out strategies they have saved up.
That being said however, Group B in theory is possibly more stacked than Group A. But then again, that's like saying the Olympics 100m is more stacked than the 200m race. It's still going to be full of the best in the world. |

| Ouch...BO1 in the losers bracket. I wonder what the players feel about the most important games of their lives going down to a bo1. Oh well, all the more reason to stay up in winners bracket |

Na'vi sweeps the group without losing a single game to the scrubs. Then Na'vi sweeps the playoffs and loses 1 game in the final. Na'Vi too pro. You heard it here first folks. Na'vi back to back bosses of DotA 2.
Obligatory:

Right now I got a lot of shit to do, so I can't post statistics here. I'll drop some info for SilverStar and he'll use it or not based on convenience.
This will be a looong week... |

My bet is on Zenith all the way, and NaVi for 2nd place. M5, Darer, MUFC shouldn't be here, they are a tier worse then the other teams, PB and mouz should be in imo.
EG and mtw will disband after disappointing performance. you heard here first |

I really doubt that any teams will disband just because they perform poorly at TI2. People said that Mouz would disband after they didnt qualify at Ti2-West Qualifier. Still going strong. I'm just hoping for good games.
On the other hand we haven't really seen Zenith play at lan. Wouldn't be suprised if they underperform.
