Next major coming up! Will be posting my bets/analysis here.
First it will be Wild Cards, only top 2 teams advance to group stage. BO2 matches.

Execration - One of the weaker teams in the Wild Cards, recent performance has been a hit or miss.
AS Monaco Gambit - Hasn't been performing that great, replaced 2 players on 25th May so they are using 2 stand ins, coordination & teamplay will be the weakest among all the teams.
Invictus Gaming - Down 1 player, 'Super' (ex IG player and current iG coach of 2 years) will stand in. They still have a shot because i personally dont feel its a massive downgrade for them. Recent performance since the Major win has been mediocre.
Team Nigma - Pretty standard team, mediocre performance as well.
Team Secret - Underwhelming since Major loss, plenty of close series, proceed with caution.
Vici Gaming - Personally feel VG is the strongest team in this Wild Card, China is extremely competitive and is considered the toughest region this time round (EU 2nd). They have been performing really well.

Day 1 Wild Card
Secret vs AS Monaco Gambit : Secret should take this, 2-0. However the current odds are extremely low , Secret -1.5 is around 1.22 and im personally not a fan of this odds, will skip.
VG vs Nigma : Vici straight up at 1.5.
XcTN vs IG : I have went for XCTN to win at least 1 map at 2.5 odds due to the coach factor in iG. XcTN is playing with their full team after all.
Nigma vs AS Monaco Gambit : Nigma should take this as well but at -1.5 the odds are still pretty low at 1.35, will skip. However, if Gambit made Secret sweat for their games, i will go either Gambit +1.5 or Gambit straight up at above 10 odds.
Gambit vs XCTN : XCTN straight up.
VG vs Secret : Personally leaning towards VG straight up at evens (2.0), subject to change based on Match 1 and Match 2 above.
XCTN vs VG: VG -1.5
Nigma vs iG: iG straight up if they win Match 3, else Nigma.
Also going for a cheeky EG/VG to win tournament, 1 unit each.

Where to bet?
Tier 1: Bet365, Pinnacle
Tier 2: Betway, Unibet
Others: Paddypower, Betfair, Skybet
Crypto: EGB
Things to note:
EG, VP, iG, Secret has enough DPC points to qualify for TI.
This is Nigma & Vici Gaming's best shot to secure their TI spot (out of all the WC teams).
