Lynn Vision deserve credit for getting this far, but this is where their run starts to look vulnerable. Their aggressive style can cause problems in best-of-ones, yet best-of-threes tend to expose some of the weaknesses that come with relying heavily on momentum and individual plays.

MIBR haven’t had a perfect tournament either, but they’re beginning to resemble the team many expected before Cologne started. The upset loss to THUNDER dOWNUNDER is becoming easier to ignore after wins against TYLOO and Liquid, two opponents that present much tougher challenges than most of Lynn Vision’s recent opposition.

The Brazilians also have more proven firepower across the lineup. Players like insani and saffee have already shown they can take over important maps, while Lynn Vision often need everything to go right for their aggressive style to work. I expect the Chinese side to have their moments, but MIBR should control most of the series.
