It will be harder for upset teams (Gambit,F3 :D) to reach quater-finals.. nice format :)
Kudos to the organizers, they were working with some shit teams but these matchups are pretty good.

will win that first game (i took a risk on fnatic, OpTic and maybe Mouz but i don't believe in NaVi after their late 2016.)
If G2 is anything like envy were pre roster moves, they will throw their games to finish as quickly as possible.

Let's go my TEAM, my PROUD!
We can do it!
We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL!

My "wild" guess:
Gambit-North - North should take the Win
Fnatic-G2 - Hard one.. Could go both ways imo, Shox/Scream vs Dennis/Twist, ofc all the players in both teams are really really good and this match is gonna be a close one, well atleast it should be a close one.
SK-Hellraisers - SK SHOULD have this one, Better players, no Oskar for HR, but sure they have other good players, like Deadfox, but i think SK will "W" this one.
VP-Optic - 2 reaaally good teams facing each other, both have showed us that they have good forms and this could go both ways, the odds are slightly more towards VP tho.
Navi-Mouz - Navi is kinda bad at the moment, Mouz have "W`s" against NIP, Dignitas and Immortals, so Mouz got a good chance here.
Liquid-Envyus - Well well, This match comes down to aim and skill, Envy got sick players like KennyS, Happy and Apex (Imo the 3 best players in Envy atm) But Liquid got amazing players like Elige, Nitro & Hiko, and ofc they have JDM, but KennyS is way better awper imo)
Astralis-Godsent - This match is a must watch match!
With players like Flusha, Device, Kjaerbye, Dupreeh and JW, (ofc Lekro can show up as well).
I think this matchup will be great!
Flipsid3-FaZe - Ok, Flipsid3 could upset this match (they have done that shit many times before) but i think this will be a "W" for FaZe, (Better players, Better aim and so on).
Good matchups :) But I'll probably only watch the play-offs. I dislike BO1 matches in general and most teams doesn't interest me.
VP/Godsent/Gambit games will probably be watched though :)
Always the easy matchup for nip :(
lel kek
Astralis-Godsent, Navi-Mouz, VP-Optic, Gambit-North should be really good games
the rest should be 1-sided affairs if everything goes according to theory.
most rigged matchups ever

Best matches g2 vs fanatic and optic vs vp...mouz vs navi 100 percent on mirage or d2
finally good match ups!
maybe the swiss system is really better
the groups in last majors were terrible unbalanced
LETS GO G2, WE CAN DO THIS!
I think next teams follow to the
quarter-finals:
SK
Astralis
North
Natus Vincere
Virtus.pro
GODSENT
Fnatic
and some of Gambit/FlipSid3/HellRaisers
Only 1 out of my top 3 teams will win :(
[*] Gambit and OpTic
Let's go North
North - they just have more experience
G2 - they just look better than fnatic BUT If shuffle happen it Will be a shitshow of tier 2 teams
SK - HR got no Oskar and SK will bootcamp, so SK should be more prepared
Optic - good results lately, should take this
NaVi - mouz is looking good lately but NaVi just have more experience and firepower
Liquid - this is considering nV won't be the french shuffle. Also, Kenny can go god mode and rip NA
Astralis - should be a close game tho
FaZe - F3 tier 9000

I think mousesports is going to win Na'vi.
First time Major champs incoming!
omg.. ASTRALIS x GODSENT will be "the" match. Hope GODSENT can win

Virtus.pro vs. OpTic
Natus Vincere vs. mousesports
Liquid vs. EnVyUs
Astralis vs. GODSENT
FlipSid3 vs. FaZe
I think that SK-HR matchup will be really great. SK with stand-in and current HR form is really decent rn (scalps of mouz,nip,c9 in qual.)
LUL ez for Astralis LUL
HOMESENT LUL
This will be too EZ 4 ENCE
Lanbit, it's all what u need know guys!
Astralis win this event. G2 and nVus got decent matchups. Optic vs VP is the big one.
NV really lucky, as usual...
First Major i do not really care about, not even hyped a bit
Liquid vs EnVyUs lul
both teams in terrible form
Let's look at the NA matchups
Liquid vs ENVYUS: ripperoni in pepperoni Liquid unless Elige and Hiki go ham
Optic vs. VP: this might get interesting
I do not dare to give predictions because everything depends on the maps. Even the likely "easy games" can reserve surprises.

#rangambit
envy is my favorite team
but if they can't beat liqiud they don't have any chance in this major
Again Faze and Envy are fucking lucky...and again G2 is fucking unlucky.
g2 and envy play with old lineups or new?
gL Gambit,HellRaisers,Flipside and Na'Vi = CIS Power
Major in Fox Theater
Fox will be playing for SK in Fox Theater
Coincidence? I think not
This going to be the hardest pick'em challenge ever.... damn.... I know that Swiss format is as much fair as possible but way to hard to predict.
