Heroic vs G2 at Stockholm major Semifinal.

G2 with Niko is probably one of the most powerful rosters on paper apart from NaVi. Mechanical Gods reign the team of 5 that is still vying for their hand at Major title.

Heroic on the other hand is composed of very skilful and young players. Stavn, Cadian and Refrezh are the ones who will always try to flank the enemy.

Refrezh flanked the enemy team in every game. These people are prodigies in the eSports world, with a bright future ahead of them.

Though G2 is a very mechanically sound team, who likes to start off things with Inferno and Mirage. But, a map ban and Momentum shift on the side of Heroic will alter the game entirely.

It is very difficult to make a bid on who will win. But, considering the prior stats, we might have to go with Heroic on this. But do not discount Niko on a good day.

NaVi vs Gambit in Stockholm major Semifinal.

Gambit Esports had relatively meagre spoils to collect throughout the tournament. They barely made it to the quarterfinals after hitting multiple overtimes against Furia. There was no one particular to look out for or enticing enough to watch them frag.

Natus Vincere’s matchup against Vitality is a whole other story. Rookie B1t and mechanical God s1mple heavily defended and destroyed enemies at chokepoints in de- Nuke. While Perfecto, the Ak God, destroyed vitality singlehandedly in the Dust Map.

The support for NaVi is immense as indicated by the online stats released on Twitter yesterday. PGL broke their own records for concurrent online viewership.

The second semifinals will be massacre and slug-fest. Navi will walk over Gambit if they fail to resist the NaVi aggression in the early stages of the game.

To sum up, we are expecting to see a NaVi take on Heroic in the Finals, as could not be any other way.
