As i have no idea of the american cs:go scene, will iBuypower win against OG?
ps: Complexity should be easy for NiP
Yes
ps: Odds are more like 60:40, NiP throws like mad on online and non-hometurf matches. I guess it would seem an easy win for the uninitiated, but 2nd best NA team vs. NiP could be pretty good match. IBP on the other hand is a much more easy match.
The only player I know from IBuypower is swag, don't know about the others, but OG played bad against Aligon so i'll bet medium on IBuypower.
Regarding NiP: Indeed the played not good on their first match of Dreamhack only a 16-12 against ex-team alternate.But NiP won 2:1 against Complexity at the ems one. Not sure how much to bet on NiP :/
GeT_RiGhT (Regarding CoL): "I think they'll perform well as they always do at ESEA events, however I feel the coL guys will rise from the ashes and perform well too. They had a terrible online season, but they usually play much better on LAN than online... But we'll see, I expect a lot from iBUYPOWER since they seem unstoppable at this moment in the States."
Hometurf factor is larger than many people think. That's why its very common for teams to win their home turf games. Happens all the time, not just CSGO but DotA and League and other big eSports games too. Recently NiP lost a tournament to Fnatic which was worth 10x the prize money they got at DH Summer as well, so that is something to keep in mind, they aren't unbeatable at the moment.
