FACEIT London Major - Group Stage Pick'Ems?

[jiyeon]

Hi, so it's CSGO Major time and the Pick'Ems have arrived for the group stage. (I missed the Challengers' Stage ) Who's everyone backing for their Pick'Ems?

 

I've gone Astralis for the 3-0 team basde on their performance, and comL as the 0-3 team simply because I can't see them winning and also because I haven't been paying attention to losing sides.

 

As for the remaining seven, I've gone:

1. G2 because I'm a G2 fan

2. NiP because it's NiP

3. NaVi because I believe the team can pick themselves back up

4. Mouz since it's Mouz

5. FaZe because their team is solid especially with Olof back

6. MiBR because it's a super team at this point with Tarik & Stewie back on a team which just happened to be former SK Gaming

7. BIG based on what I've seen from the German side

People just keep picking inferno against complexity when will they learn, kinda messed up your prediction. ALthough they were able to beat G2 on Cache, so maybe not just a one trick pony? Hard to tell really with BO1s. Who'd a thought BIG v Complexity both at 2-0 would be a thing? We have a guaranteed UK player into the playoffs! UKCS

Complexity going 3-0 after beating BIG very impressive, into the knockout stages they go!

I think they are the favourites although they have been looking a little flat after the player break whereas before they were looking unbeatable

yeah their game with WINSTRIKE i honestly thouhgt that WINSTRIKE was gonna be able to beat them the last scores we're like 16 for WS and 19 for C9 that's just to close

Sad to see NIP almost making it into the Legends stage only to go 3 Maps with MIBR to just lose out. Having both Brits in the tournament still one on Complexity and one on BIG makes me happy though. Smooya is pretty damn good. Complexity against MIBR and BIG against Na-Vi tough stuff, although both Na-Vi and MIBR have not been looking their best recently so who knows what could happen.

Astralis vs Faze as a Quarter final is kinda crazy. Both those teams would have been expecting to contend for the title starting the tournament now one of them will fall early, that will be a good match.
