SFS vs. VAL
I was quite impressed with SFS in preseason. I felt like their engagements were much cleaner than VAL. It probably has to do with practice time and more or less established team synergy. I think that Shock will win this series 3-1.
SHD vs. GLA
Shanghai had a really underwhelming performance in the preseason. Combined with team issues that they have been having I do not think the team is in its best shape at the moment. Gladiators will win 3-1.
DAL vs. SEO
Seoul are clearly one of the better teams in the league. It will be interesting to watch how they would deal with orisa\hog\junkrat strat if Dallas should bring it out again. Seoul win 3-1.
LON vs. FLA
Florida in my eyes is the weakest team in the league at the moment so it should be an easy win for Spitfires 4-0.
PHI vs. HOU
I do think that Houston will win this series no matter what, but without seeing Philly play it is hard to say whether they can take a map off. With shadowburn and carpe I think they can take a control map. Houston win 3-1.
BOS vs. NYE
While BOS did seem stronger then they appeared at first I do not think they can take a map off NYXL. New York win 4-0.
VAL vs. DAL
This will be an interesting match up. Dallas should easily win this, but they might try to run some weird strats and drop a map because of it. DAL wins 3-1.
FLA vs. BOS
Curious to see how will these teams do against each other. Boston has a more balanced roster overall so it should not be too hard for them to win but it might take a while until they get a good read of FLA. BOS win 3-1.
SHS vs. SHD
Shock win 3-1. Again I have a lot of faith in SHS.
LON vs. PHI
I do think that Philly will not have established synergy by then. LON win 4-0.
NYE vs. HOU
Perhaps the most excited matchup for me. Houston has what it takes to beat one of the titans. Houston wins a close series 3-2.
SEO vs. GLA
Not a lot to say about this one. Seoul wins 4-0.
