1win
My take
Nemesis has been solid in SEA qualifiers and lower tiers, but this is a clear tier gap. Even with Pure missing (visa again, Shad stand-in), BZM + 33 + Ari should control tempo and punish the slower SEA style. More than that, Nemesis also plays with 2 stand-ins (Mo13ei and SabeRLight, so I'm going with 33 and the gang).
Natus Vincere
My take
Hokori is a solid SA side that can fight, but NAVI’s recent qualifier form and individual ceiling (especially mid/offlane) should overwhelm them. Hokori’s high-ground defense can drag one game out, but they don’t have the early pressure to stop NAVI from snowballing. I believe that NAVI will dismantle Hokori.
Aurora Gaming
My take
It's time to see Skiter in action xD. But they have a problem…it looks like Stojkov is the stand-in for Mikoto, which means that skiter should take the role of a hard carry. Let's see if I was wrong this whole year calling him out for his weird plays and builds. In the end, I think ws and kaori are enough to take down Pips+4.
GamerLegion
My take
We have Parker and the boys against GamerLegion. Even if GamerLegion has the classic problem of sometimes choking leads, Cobra doesn’t look strong enough to force that consistently. Expect GL to control the pace and take it clean.

Team Yandex
My take
That's not even a gram of doubt. Fresh ATF offlane addition makes them even more dangerous. MOUZ can compete in fights and has some good individual pieces, but Yandex’s early-to-mid aggression and watson farming should just be too much. More than that, Yandex, in my eyes, is the big bad bully of the PGL Wallachia Season 9.
LGD Gaming
My take
We don't know YET the LGD.Gaming roster, but from what I've heard, it's an international roster with Wits, SumaiL, and Davai. I'm going to go with LGD on this one. NOTE: Be careful; if the roster is again something fishy, I will change the prediction before the match.
