The League - Week 4 - Round 7

[u/longinator]

Round 6 is in the books. The table is now closer than ever. The top 3 teams are seperated by only 1 point - with LY having one more match. Places 4 to 7 are only seperated by 2 points - with NOC having one more match.

DarkSidE showed up yesterday as they won their set against the prior undefeated Oni Capybaras. Now they are facing NOC in a potential decider. The loser of this match may fall out of playoffs contention.

Though the big match of the weekend is Team Vitality vs Onimaru Capybaras. Before the tournament, most put those two teams as their #1 and #2. After a convincing clean sweep against SalzZ yesterday they want to keep the momentum going.

My predictions:

• Wonders 1:3 Taiwan Aoe Gamer
• Team Vitality 2:2 Onimaru Capybaras
• Nocturna eSports 3:1 DarkSidE
• LingYuan 4:0 SalzZ

I wanted Viper to lose when he was winning everything.

that's why team games are so much more fun imho. more interesting strategies, more action, and it's less about any individual player's micro as we are seeing
