OK, so this is a small but nice tournament, first four places get a prize, and the winner gets a ticket for IEM Sydney. forZe was 1st in Group A with three wins, one loss, a round difference of +5 and nine points, while Heroic was also 1st but in Group B with three wins, zero losses, a round difference of +27 and nine points. It is not in void to say that Heroic dominated Group B, and after that defeated ex-3DMAX with 2-0 while forZe defeated team OpTic with the same score. I believe that Heroic can win here but since forZe dominated their last four games this may very well go in over 2,5 maps, just lit the fnatic VS NiP went as i predicted.

Good luck to all who bet, and don't forget to gamble responsibly!
