It’s Happening

1) DK
2) C9
3) IG
4) Newbee
5) Alliance
5) Na'Vi

I think the three Chinese teams could finish in any order. They're all fairly equally matched in my opinion. I only put C9 2nd as more of a hope than an actual prediction. I'd prefer to see an East vs West match than an East vs East just because the contrast in style makes for a better game. Initially I had EG in 2nd but decided to swap them out at the last second and then couldn't find a place for the as I think Na'Vi and Alliance will finish joint 5th.


I had also predicted Empire as winning when the compendium first came out. To me they were looking unbeatable. Now not so much. But I still think they've got a good chance.

I don't like their playstyle. Don't watch all their games but I've never seen them with a conventional mid+carry combination. It's a lot like older Chinese 4-protect-1 strats, and those went out of style for a reason (too easy to shut down).
