Today is the day that we've been waiting for. Who will be going on to represent their respective areas at the Mid Season Invitational, and who will relax back at home knowing they'll probably secure enough points to go to Worlds in the Fall?
Full Schedule and Predictions:
8:00 AM PST - Fnatic vs Unicorns of Love
Regular Season: 2 - 0 Unicorns of Love
Prediction: 3 - 2 Unicorns of Love. No doubt Fnatic will have planned for this match inside and out, and will have a game sometime in the series that will convince people that they deserve to go on to MSI--but there's just something about the Unicorns of Love and their unprecedented rise to the top. In the regular season, Fnatic has never taken a victory off of UOL. Granted, both victories were really close, but the mere fact that the Unicorns were able to pull off two victories from behind shows they have what it takes to bring down the European heavyweight. What remains to be seen are the exciting games that will lead to that victory.
12:00 PM PST - Team SoloMid vs Cloud 9
Regular Season: 1 - 1
Prediction: 3 - 2 Cloud 9. This is a rough prediction. Team SoloMid took the IEM Worlds trophy, and has played excellently all season long. However, until today we haven't seen TSM up against a team that represented significant competition for them. Although Cloud 9 isn't the flashiest of teams, if there is a team that will be able to pull off a victory in a best of five against TSM, it'll be C9. Either way, it'll be a nail-biting close match. A lot of the match comes down to how Cloud 9 plans their early game--will Dyrus be allowed to play League of Legends, or can C9 knock him out early on and win a 4v5?
