Lower Bracket Teams(Group A)
Fnatic - Fnatic had a great start to the International with a record of 5-3 after 2 days, but their form slumped significantly and they lost their last 4 games in a row. As a result they were demoted to the Lower Brackets with a final record of 7-9 as I had predicted.
VGJ.Thunder - The Chinese squad of VGJ had a poor start to their group stage but recovered soon enough. Their first day record was 1-5 and they seemed lost but they bounced back and finished the group stage with a record of 6-10 qualifying for the Lower Brackets like I predicted.
Mineski - South East Asia's biggest team in TI had a poor showing in the groups. One of the favorites to grab an Upper Bracket spot failed to do so managing a record of 5-11 qualifying for the Lower Brackets as per my predictions.
Winstrike Team - I predicted that the Russian team will be eliminated from the groups. They went very close to it finishing with the joint worst record of 4-12 shared with Invictus Gaming. But they beat IG in the tiebreakers to secure Group A's final Lower Bracket berth.
Lower Bracket Teams(Group B)
Newbee - Last year's runner-up had a disappointing year and their bad form continued in TI. They were stuck in a 3-way tie between themselves, Team Secret and Optic Gaming. In the 3-way tiebreaker, they lost to both Secret and Optic sending them down to the Lower Bracket with a record of 8-8 like my prediction.
TNC.Predator - The Filipinos managed a Lower Bracket spot. I was uncertain whether they would do so or get eliminated in my predictions but they pulled through and qualified to the main event with a record of 7-9.
Team Serenity - The biggest underdogs of this TI, Serenity managed to go to the main event in their first ever TI. Their innovative playstyle impressed me and I predicted a Lower Bracket spot and they did so managing a record of 7-9.
Vici Gaming - Among all invited teams, Vici might have had the worst run. Nearly getting eliminated they pulled through at the last moment. I had doubts whether they will make the Upper Brackets or Lower, but they put my doubts to rest with a record of 7-9 and going to the lower brackets.
