Winner
Virtus.Pro, even though I expect their opponents to specifically counterstrat them now that they are on top. They have the best mix Veteran experience, young talent, and chemistry. Neo is the best CS 1.6 player of all time and his new role as an IGL has catapulted them from #5-10th to #1 of late.

#2
Titan

#3
NiP

#4
Dignitas

5-8th
Cloud9 (EU is afraid of n0thing)
Natus Vincere
Fnatic
Copenhagen Wolves

9-12th
iBUYPOWER
Hellraisers
Epsilon
London Conspiracy

13-16th
LDLC
Vox
DaT
Wolf

These are some impressive groups - strange how CSGO is so competitive all of a sudden. I could see five different teams winning this and, of those five teams, i could also see them not making it out of groups.

I guess group "a" seems like the easiest, but the other three are brutal.

New Predictions:

1) Team Dignitas

2) Virtus.Pro

3) NiP

4) Na'Vi

5-8)Titan
HellRaisers
iBUYPOWER
Copenhagen Wolves



9-12) Cloud9
Epsilon
LDLC
Fnatic


13-16) London Conspiracy
dAT team
Vox Eminor
Wolf

I did not base these predictions based on how well the teams played alone. I judged this based on how well the teams play and how the tournament is set up. (Titan Is better than the Na'Vi but Titan Is in the brackets with Dignitas and Cloud9)

1) VP

2) Titan

3) Cloud9

4) NiP (But I want it to be IBP.)

Well you guys know more about this than me, but what the hell, I'll throw in a prediction:

1) NiP - playing for blood and want to re-assert themselves as #1. Crazy prediction: if they don't win this one, they make a roster change.

2) Titan - gotta love listening to them ramble on in French, the graceful language gives them an advantage.

3) iBuyPower or C9 (Go USA!) I had to pick US for the top 3. Curious to see how Swag/Steel replace Anger/Adren and how the new 5th in C9 plays.

4) VP - I really like these guys. They look like they're having fun and have a good attitude, but it's hard to stay as King of the Hill. They also no longer have the hometown magic and Polish crowd working for them. I expect them to unexpectedly struggle.

Titan Lost Once so if they lose again byebye

iBP lost once but C9 has a good shot

Let's watch and see robot. =)

Just because NiP dropped 7 rounds to Wolf doesn't mean they won't perform well the rest of the tournament.
