The International 2016: Main Event - Day 1 predictions

TNC vs VGR (1-0 TNC)

VG.R are the runt of the Chinese litter this year and with TNC slaughtering LGD and Wings, one would assume they could pull the same kind of win here. Both teams don’t mind going to the late late game and picking greedily, it’ll be quite the interesting series. I’ve picked TNC not only based on the premise that they’ve crushed superior Chinese teams and have a great track record against China, but additionally because I think they are far more of a wildcard as far as the event goes, a much less readable and known team. Expect alchemist to make an appearance in this best of one, be it as a pick or a ban, as both teams love him.
