Easiest major win for liquid. Yekindar will go 1.8 rating in playoffs, the distance light has to travel from the monitor to his eyes is so small, he will be able to just react faster and win the duels.

[@BoorishM]

The thing about Donk and Zywoo is that while they are incredible players. All their massive numbers have come against less firepower stacked T1 teams. They just farm the teams like Mongolz, Mouz, Liquid, Heroic, because they can operate at like 90% the whole game. When u stack firepower against them they tend to underperform.

[@duplad8546]

finally a goat take. If the Vita-G2 matchup is in groups = Vita win If it is in playoffs = G2 win Got the same picks as you except I have Spirit beating Mongolz in the semis

@@darkglobe406 He won't have his number forever though. Great players like donk adapt and learn new ways of beating their opponents. I think that might happen in this major, if Spirit makes it that far.

[@pranuprai2856]

[@BoogieWoogieCat]

I like Mongolz, but I don't want to see another 2-0 final. I hope Spirit makes it to the final against G2 and that donk enters god mode, being able to win MVP even if they lose. It's a win win situation for me, since seeing Niko finally winning the major is something I've wanted for a long time, but having donk either making history or getting experience is also good.

[@phhh5002]

I would love you to further discuss the effects of mr12 and peek advantage on team composition. I think valve should go with mr14 and reduce round timer with 10 sec in order to give igl more rounds to work with whilst keeping the matches shorter. Either that or rework eco so less pistol rounds. Bring it up on snake and banter, invite snappi for spice

[@angus5427]

Can't see past vitality winning but man I'd love for NiKo to win.

[@backpacking_trombonist]

If Hunter continues playing like he's fighting to keep his contract, then G2 can win. If he doesn't show up, then I'm not sure the other three (+Snax) will be enough against Vitality or even Mouz if they make it that far.

[@vedser]

Epic video.

[@martinjovchevski2420]

Maui may God bless you and hear your predict

[@Nihilboy]

Same picks, except i believe Spirit will not choke against Mongolz, or its just the cope that i want a Spirit vs G2 final and G2 to win it

[@screeperz9965]

Wow, I picked exactly the same as you bro.! There will be at least 2 diamonds if we're correct!

we dont need an igl, also navi being the most dominant team this year with 6 final appearances. this guy is an analyst btw, guess reading hltv stats everyday is "analyzing"

[@everything-has-a-handle-now]

Inting my coin for mongolz major win

[@thehunter6563]

Tell me how they're supposed to do that? They literally suck at D2 Nuke Vertigo so teams like Mouz and Spirit have to take advantage of that

[@Dlgn_]

Mongolz beat the G2 the most out of all tier1 teams. That would not be easy game

[@zim7959]

i love you maui

I chose G2 before coming here, happy to see someone believes. They will apologise!

[@thehunter6563]

I was disappointed with G2 because they got beaten by the underdog in the elimination phase

@ this aged well lmao

[@larrbear2100]

@@thehunter6563 I am a g2 stan I want him to get it finally ngl

[@darkglobe406]

my pickems look exactly the same . spirit is not good enough as a team to make it to the final here , and donk will not be enough to beat mongols if they keep their level as high as they showcased so far. monesy will outperform zywoo in the other semifinals and niko is better than just about anyone else on vitality roster . mongols are not experienced enough to beat G2 in the finals and they also don´t have the 2 super stars like g2 has .

[@thehunter6563]

Heroic will be a strong rival and Mirage will surely win because G2 has huge problems with defense on the CT side, so even if Heroic passes, the winner of the Faze-Vitality clash should be able to handle it. I know G2 has firepower, but Faze and Vitality simply have a team-based system, not just individual players. G2's stars are useless if they have to fight from every angle. Vitality in particular is tactically great and very well organised, they reached their peak at the very end of a long season and dominate their rivals, taking away their space Faze seems to be even better on paper, but due to the role conflict they have their own problems on CT and this may be important here, although of course it does not have to be because in my opinion the winner of the Faze-Vitality clash will be new Major Champion. Niko and Monesy alone can't do much because the rest of the team often fails and the G2 team's anchor is very weak, which is why they have a negative balance on CT

[@darkglobe406]

@@thehunter6563 not gonna read that wall of text . G2 will simply take it over mongols in a grand finals ...

[@ElementalDj]

Power ranking - VIT = G2 > Spirit > MGLZ > FaZe > MOUZ > Liquid = Heroic And therefore FaZe clan is winning the Major baby no cope only hope

[@Mauisnake]

Would have a very similar power ranking

[@thehunter6563]

Vitality is the strongest of all teams because they are shining, but Faze is a specialist in surprises and can cause a sensation again because no one believes in them. Faze Clan has bad players in their lineup but even with bots like that they were able to beat the early year dominator Spirit in the quarterfinals of the Major, so they can do it again As a die-hard Face fanatic, I'm counting on my bots to not let me down this time and defeat VIT G2 on their way to their second consecutive final

Americans on adderal again ropz will carrye and rain find new gear apparently it’s gona be mongols vs faze finals

[@thehunter6563]

Mongolia no chance against Navi in semis. If we play at our level, G2 won't smell the round on the CT side Faze may have only bots in its lineup, but it is these bots that give their all during the game and can surprise the favorite, and the stars that other teams have are just a camouflage for a bad, bad team. Faze Clan will sweat in G2 clashes and Niko will slam the mouse on the table and stop playing against us as always. We defeated Spirit in their best form, so we will deal with the rest of the teams

[@kamilianos]

Ssssame here . This coin is only worth it if G2 wins. Don't wont it otherwise :)

[@thehunter6563]

They need to improve their CT or Heroic will outdo them on Mirage and Ancient/Anubis

W mauisnake opinion. G2-0!!!

[@shadowcimmerian3621]

i made the same picks before watching your picks, i picked G2 as the champions but i actually think mongolz will be this year champions, would like to change my champion pick but at the same time i feel that if i change it G2 is going to win XD

[@thehunter6563]

If G2 can't beat a tier2 team how do you think they will take the crown? Heroic will be a strong rival and as long as G2's weak anchor is in the team, they will get hit by every serious opponent After all, on the CT side, the opponent has the highway, and with only the T side cut, you won't be able to drag the match to your advantage

Heroic simply does not suit them and they play very calmly, which negatively affects the vigilance of G2 players who, when the match does not go as they expected, start to panic and play tragically G2 is too emotionally unstable to win the Major title with this lineup
