Last night Group B finished first round of games and the standings look like this (in order of tie breaker):
Fnatic: 3-1
Gambit: 3-1
Ozone: 2-2
Vulcun: 2-2
Mineski: 0-4
Now one thing that jumps out at me is the two 3-1s. Both from Europe, with one loss from Vulcun and one loss from the game between themselves. This is solid playing by the powerhouses from Europe, and I look forward to see how it goes.
Another thing that jumps out at me is that Vulcun is 2-2, but seriously in a hole since they lost to Ozone. It is one of those things where if they win out they will go through, but this is worlds, winning out is not easy. Vulcun is going to need some help to get through. I honestly think they will pull it together and make a good run and will be either 2nd or 3rd in the group. They had some great play vs Fnatic.
3rd thing is Mineski. They are 0-4. They are basically out of worlds barring a major comeback. What kind of crazy tricks can they pull now? Will they pull an upset and throw the standings around? Will they all of a sudden gain momentum and win some games? Who knows. All I know is that in the other teams' positions, I would be overlooking Mineski, but feeling kinda uneasy about it.
What do you guys think about the Group B results so far?
