Talk about good group play all around. No uneven matches anywhere.

estro will be random and beat a good team only to lose in semis, fnatic will lose one and make it to finals, mibr should be using their OG lineup, mousesports will either dominate or get knocked out early, EG will make semis or finals possibly.

Final match:
mTw vs mousesports

OR

SK vs MYM
