Groupstage predictions Group D
And last but not least!
First, since many of you were wondering, I asked what Psyko (chatGPT) thought:
Analysis
The points suggest that xof has a slight edge over the other teams, with [GC], SDOM, and FA| closely trailing behind. These teams might be the ones to watch out for in the tournament.
However, it's important to note that points alone do not determine the outcome. Factors such as team coordination, strategy, and performance on the day of the tournament will also play a crucial role.
Who are you rooting for?
Well, that's not interesting at all, so lets look at my own thoughts.
Group D:
dedemo.
- Murder (€ 460)
- rammydammydingdong (€ 1050)
- mjolner Ralfie (€ 600)
- Wader (€ 380)
Murder was added after signups with the notion that he had to captain again and was not allowed to screw up. He went with what he knew, since the last time he was captain he also picked ramdrop as his main guy, With success since he was on his way to the finals when a dememo incident stopped his team. Hopefully this time he will remember to type correctly.
Next to ramdrop he is aiming on Ralfie and Wader to help bring home the victories. I see this team struggle since ramdrop will have to focus on 1v1 leaving the rest of the map less covered.

Goulash & Pretzels
New into the PG iDOM cups is captain dB. He has much experience in other PG cups so its not all new. He opted to go for a solid German mid ground with Cho and Joschde, where especially cho has been really active in pugs lately, playing both solo and 2v2 spots. This gives the team options, since both dB and Joschde can also do both. I hope the lack of oldskool DOM experience wont be their downfall.

Snail Pace
Our slow American friends. Captain jmoney went with an all American team and first picked last seasons underrated pick Rum. Is rum correctly rated this time or will he still over perform. He also picked lavak3 who has, since he joined the scene, made a pretty good impression in iCTF and proves to be a solid fragger. I think rum and lineage will do the solo spots which leaves them with a pretty strong 2v2/roam option. Add in the home server advantage and they will be a serious contender for this group and possibly the tournament.

Team Phantom
Finally we have Horror's team. Horror had a clear strategy in mind when he first picked ch3kz. Ch3kz has been practicing hard and turns out to be a menace in point tagging and sticking to it like glue. He opted for naru second, who has a fresh BT worldchampion belt and is in the winning spirit. Unbreak will have to bring the fragpower in this team, which might be their biggest concern. Naru is very solid on 1v1 and can bring the best of the best a hard time. And horror himself can fill most positions on a map, giving this team options.
