Do you want to annoy everyone else on the forums? Well in that case, this is the contest for you! If you win, you'll get a fancy forum title proclaiming you are the Oracle of the Singapore Major! It will look similar to this.
I don't know if Liquid are a lock. Love the guys but they've put on some mixed performances this year, to say the least. Still think they can make it, though. Especially with 3 teams advancing from wild cards.

VG LGD Nigma Gambit
T1
I can see any two of the middle four making it through, Nigma with MC is 2/3 most likely. T1 I have no idea since I haven't watched any SEA games.
Based on my watching of all the regions, if T1 had Kuku they would be above Gambit by a lot. However, without him, I think they're probably going to be fighting with Gambit and Nigma for last place.

For day two, need to assess if Nigma > T1 and if Gambit > LGD.
Seen parts of a few games. Nigma should be better than T1, T1 in the games i saw was pretty bad. Nigma could have won a game or two. Gambit - LGD feels like a real toin coss. I would bet on a draw .
For me the question is are SEA bad? Or is it just T1 with standin? T1 really doesnt seem close to the other teams.
I think the two stand out things for me today was how poor T1 did in the games. It became a foregone conclusion they would lose the next game even before it started after the first 3 games.
Liquid did surprisingly well. They ran a decently wide selection of strats and won on playing better in a few games, not just having solid drafts and game plans.
Nigma did worse than expected but some games were close.

Agreed, I ended up going with Nigma > T1 annd Gambit > LGD. I can see Gambit = LGD, but LGD looked a little more "throwy" than Gambit did.

Agree with this also. I had some "insider information", since Julmust mentioned that Liquid was quarantining in the missing players thread. Therefore, I expected that they were taking this more seriously than the other teams and should come out swinging.
