One of the better match-ups in the playoffs will be Ninjas in Pyjamas vs. SK Gaming in the semifinals -- as long as Ninjas in Pyjamas can beat Team EnVyUs. It wouldn't be a surprise to see either NiP or SK heading to the grand finals.。

The other three teams in the playoffs haven't seen much recent success in international tournaments. Cloud9 played well in the online season, but the team doesn't usually perform that well at LAN events. In front of Cloud9 are OpTic Gaming and possibly Mousesports, which aren't known for their LAN play either, so C9 could feasibly end up in the finals.
