It's not really complete when we just watch all of these stages and even they're bo2 series, even I'm mostly losing, I can say that it's worth it. We've got two days left until the group stages ends.
~snip~
Entity is now leading Group B after sweeping Betboom on today’s match. I’m not aware to the current lineup of Entity which is different from the last year. I’m expecting that Stormstormer is still in this roster yet Noone already replaced him which is a very good replacement.
I think it was also last year when they've replaced stormstormer with no one. Just after the TI that no one played for Team SMG, he went back to his region. Now on this ranking, Entity is 2nd whilst Tundra is the first after this group stage. IMHO, Entity consists of fishman, kataomi and watson and whoever will be their good mid and offlane, their line up is solid.
What shocks me the most is Pure already playing carry position on Tundra. The last time I saw him he is an offlaner to Betboom and do a lot of fines due to streaming while live. He is performing impressive tho as a carry player. He compliments well to Topson playstyle.
Pure is good no doubt and he became better with Tundra with 2 other Russians, 9class and ramzes so the communication is there plus topson and whitemon.
Good luck to you, from playin to group stage, I am about to run out of luck.
Thanks, my parlay cashed, and the favorites delivered as expected with the 2-0 wins. We already have three teams secured for the upper bracket in Group B while Group A is still all up in the air.
If the competitiveness in Group A goes on, I have a hunch that most of the series would continue to end on a draw and I assume most of them would be okay with that except for Blacklist Rivalry since there could be a potential tiebreaker at the bottom half. I'm going with a couple of draws as the damage is already done by the upper teams and they only need one map win to book their spot for the upper bracket.
Blacklist is out and all of this year, they have struggled. I doubt it if the management will continue this roster and with retaining this roster.
It seems that most draws really have won this group stages. Now this is the most exciting part, the playoffs going to semis and finals. All best of 3 games.
