I think that one of the 'old' 3 will take this, Fnatic, Dignitas or MYM. EG will be playing on laptops which I just feel for seasoned veterans could be too much of a hinderance. I'd love to be wrong on that fact and that they wont be hindered but I cant see it being an easy switch, arguably they will need the group stages more than anyone else, that will give them time to adjust, however ntt's foaming at the mouth will drop onto the laptop and potentially blow a fuse.

[img|right]http://www.ugame.net/filestorage/picture/173/normal/HjoISgxo.jpg[/img]Fnatic looked good at times in Roskilde, tidde and mint put in some phenominal individual performances at times and zem caught the eye with some great clutches. They need to adjust to maps which aren't favoured towards mint, and with some players in Southampton and others in Sweden this past week perhaps their preparation wont have been great. MYM's performance against EG was enough for me to believe they're still capable of getting to any final they just need to straighten up and fly right. As for LowLandLions which will we see, AEF L3 or TEX L3? Impossible to predict or understand why those two performances were so polarised.

So I guess now is the part where I stop sitting on the fence and actually put a top 5 down like everyone else?
