Although Team Spirit doesn't have many games left to raise the aegis over his head for the second time, this path will not be easy, he will not be given away just like that, the battles will be tough. In addition, other teams should have preparations at the hero peak stage, this is another chance to break the TS, although it seems that this is almost impossible. Therefore, I expect to see unusual heroes.
The players also don’t like such large gaps between game days, not only the spectators, but Valve doesn’t care much about it, they ignored it as usual. I still found a small plus in this, I watch the matches that I liked the most for the second time, this helps a little to maintain the amazing mood from the TI.
Normally I also do not like the large number of days in break. The players and teams have ample time to study and practice but some of them might have lost their focus and adrenaline in their bodies. Momentums will be stopped including the fans' urge and excitement. The only thing that made me somewhat good during this long break were my bets' losing streak.
Meanwhile, my only remaining bet is on Team Spirit ML over Liquid. Planning to put some bets on GG and BetBoom as well. Betboom against VP, it will be another anticipated match and both teams are capable of winning.
Yes, the games will continue today, which makes me very happy, I definitely won’t watch the LGD - Azure Ray match because it will be early in the morning in my country, but I will be able to watch the others. GG has a small odds, but I'm almost sure that they will simply move nouns. BB will beat VP, I expect they will show a bright game with net worth jumping from one side to the other and great unpredictability. Although BB they confidently go through the losers’ bracket, in such a wild match I will bet on the underdog (VP).
TS vs Liquid, I expect the usual even game, but Liquid will give a good fight. My forecast is 2-1 in favor of Team Spirit.
It will be interesting to see whether they will continue to pick Muerta, Bristleback, Dark Willow, or whether the teams will show their secret plans and have the same choice of heroes as in the VP - Entity.
