The group stage of The International has come to an end. Two days of matches full of interesting and unexpected moments have passed, which means that we are now waiting for the Seeding Decider stage, where it will be decided which teams will start the playoffs in the top bracket and which will start in the bottom.
Immediately after the end of the group stage, the teams that took the top places in their groups chose their opponents for this stage. Here is the full list of these matches.
Day 1 Seeding Decider matches
There will be 4 matches in total, and we will share our predictions for these matches with you.
Xtreme Gaming vs Talon Esports
Xtreme Gaming will be the undisputed favourite of this match, as they easily destroyed their group and took the first place in it. But Talon have good and interesting ideas for their matches that they failed to implement. Perhaps it is in the seeding matches that they will be able to surprise us and give the Chinese a fight.
Team Liquid vs BetBoomTeam
BBUnexpectedly, they showed a rather unstable and sluggish game, and will be opposed by Liquid, who lost only to Team Spirit in their group. Team Liquid will most likely be the favourite and dictate the terms of the game, and if BB has not figured out how to change their game, they will most likely start the playoffs in the lower grid.
Cloud9 vs 1win
The Cloud9 guys feel quite confident in this tournament. They lost only 1 map during the group stage. 1win, on the other hand, got into the so-called ‘Death Group’ where moving up to the 2nd or 1st place would be a big sensation, but they managed to impose a fight on each team and even won 1 map in GG. We expect 3 interesting maps from this series.
Team Zero vs Aurora
The last match for today and no less unpredictable. Team Zero, who became the main sensation of the group stage, will meet Aurora, who did not perform well in the group stage. Considering the fact that the Chinese were late on the second day, we will have a chance to watch an interesting match with 3 intense maps.
