Aw yeah! My top 6 are Hades approved! We only differ on the order of the top3 >8{D

Btw, if anyone actually predicts the top6 correctly, I think they deserve a Competetive Analyst Title...as well as the 100 free compendium levels. 8{3

1: DK

3/4: Alliance/Na'Vi. This is a bit of a gamble, but think alliance is still pretty strong and will outsmart teams like C9 every day. Navi will depend a LOT on how Xboct will play. The guy is INSANELY good, we all saw that because he was the best player on TI3. But he tends to feed a bit and overcommit a lot in other tournaments.
5/6: EG/Fnatic. EG is performing well now, but they always play the same strat with RTZ on a carry mid, so they might be figured out during the tournament. How well they perform is in the hands of PPD and Zai, their best players.
Fnatic is a chaotic team they either plays really well or pretty bad, if they manage to get in the flow they can get far.

Newbie, good team, but one dimensional with a lot of early game heroes like viper and bristleback.
Vici, they have amazing support players but super is a bit of a weak point, since he isnt a playmaker at all. They play consistent but their best isnt enough.
Empire, same as vici, consistent but their best isnt enough.
C9, they have bad drafting and EE can be a burden. He also plays really bad on some heroes he really likes like tinker. I always cringe when he plays that hero.

Maybe when it comes time for the Tournament we can make friendly wagers on the top 3? (Items of course, nothing insane)
They interviewed Puppey I guess and basically he said that Navi never practices together..that will probably change for the insane amount of money up for grabs.
Personally, I want DK to win, after seeing the heartbreak on Mushi's face after the loss to Navi last year, I feel like he will be going god mode again, and Id love to see burning win the big one before he retires (seeing as he was intending to after TI3).
IG is fine tuned, that's a scary prospect for everyone.
Alliance, the bulldog factor is real, they need someone else to make the big plays consistently, I mean, outstanding support duo, great carry, great mid, but for instance, ESL one Frankfurt, Bulldog propelled that team.
This is the most balanced field of teams, so much individual skill, who's going to bring it all together when it counts? That's the huge question, I have to be another person that goes ahead and reidorates: You cannot doubt Navi regardless of their recent performance.
Step 1: Pick Bristleback
Step 2: type in all chat:"GL hf"
Step 3: solo offlane
Step 4: first blood triple kill solo vs trilane
Step 5: continue head butting keyboard
Step 6: don't care, Bristleback doesn't give a ****
Step 7: screenshot repeated: BB OP comments in all chat
Step 8: alternate games with Slark pick

I haven't really been keeping up with pro matches lately so I'm going on the little bit of gameplay that I've seen over the past few months.

Whether that happens or not is another matter, but they're certainly the strongest going into the competition.

Think they'll crack under pressure? Or simply because of the quality of competition?
