Team Liquid
My take
We already saw this match in the group stage, and Team Spirit won. Somehow, they were lucky if you ask me. I see the issues in the Team Spirit laning, especially in the midlane. I understand that Larl is the sacrificial lamb for team spirit, but he is losing any matchup. I can't believe in the Yatoro Factor in the playoffs.

BoomBoys
My take
I know everyone wants Nigma to win, but we need to be objective about what will happen. In the lower bracket they will need to face a NIGHTMARE of a match-up by the name BetBoom Team. You can tell me all you like that Nigma is a beast in the late game, but here is the thing: they always play on the back foot, and the reason for that is that they always lose lanes. In a matchup against BB, this is simply crucial, and they will lose early and mid-game and call GG in 40 minutes.

TEAM VISION
My take
It's unbelievable that Yandex is top 3 at the TI (and not because they don't merit it or something); it's just that they had a rough group stage. But in the end, it all comes to farming patterns in this patch. And the best team to farm is clearly PARIVISION, by a mile. I can't see a way where Yandex can win this match.
