Round 3 Day 2 Predictions
T1 Versus CTBC Flying Oyster
T1 Win
These two teams met in the Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage. CFO won, surprising everyone. Much has changed since then. Most of CFO’s roster has left, while T1 has a new AD Carry. CFO is not the dominant force it was last year. T1 has looked more confident in the Swiss Stage so far. As a result, they are favorites to move to the 2-1 bracket. CFO is no pushover, and T1 will need to be on form to ensure they win.
Bilibili Gaming Versus Karmine Corp
BLG Win
At the start of the tournament, everyone would favor BLG in this matchup. However, the loss to Movistar KOI lowered their strength. They recovered it slightly by beating a weakened TL. KC is in good form. LYON had to pull out all the stops to beat them. LYON’s impressive performance against Gen.G shows KC is no pushover. Either team can win this game. The edge goes to BLG, predominantly because of Knight.
LOS Versus Team Secret Whales
Team Secret Whales 2-1
Neither team has had favorable draws. Both teams they have faced can easily qualify for the Bracket Stage. Now they get a chance to flex their muscles in a best-of-three series. Experience-wise, TSW has the edge. They have played in four consecutive international events. LOS are making their first appearance. At their peaks, TSW has the edge.
That being said, LOS can win the series. We have not seen them at their best. Another aspect in TSW’s favor is Dire’s form. He has looked better than in previous internationals. Usually, he dies in lane or falls behind drastically. He did not have these issues against LYON and Invictus Gaming. His execution in fights against IG was lacking, but that was a team issue.
Team Liquid Versus Anyone’s Legend
Anyone’s Legend 2-1
No one would have expected either team to be here. While some were skeptical about whether they could maintain their championship form, the drop-off has been drastic. AL has had the harder run. They played against Karmine Corp and Top Esports. However, the concern is how they lost to TES. They were nowhere in the game. Tarzan could not make an impact. They rely on him to win most of their games. TL has been the weakest team in the Swiss Stage so far. They have more to show, especially Josedeodo. If he finds form, TL can win. Even if Tarzan improves, Josedeodo can match his level.
