Their jr.roster is pretty strong and I think they're also developing on it. While the playoff matches will be few days from now and most teams are on a rest. This is a tough playoffs since this includes a huge prize pool. I've already put two games already that I think will be winning. I'm mostly into Parivision but it seems that they've been already calculated by the other teams and so, I am betting against them.
I agree, even though they lost against Team Falcons, the potential is there for this squad to reach the tier one status in the future.
I'm also going with Team Spirit in the first series. This matchup could get interesting given how Gaimin is playing better, but i'm sticking with Team Spirit because they usually show up in these bigger tournaments.

For the EEU derby between Aurora and Pari, I still have to go with Pari despite their dip in form. We've seen this matchup in the fissure universe recently, with Aurora getting outclassed.
