Player prices & pick stats Natus Vincere are looking an improved side in Beijing, with the Ukrainian duo of Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov and Valeriy "b1t" Vakhovskiy carrying the team. In Beijing, both are the MVP frontrunners with 1.45 and 1.42 ratings, respectively.
If they maintain this performance, picking them is nothing short of a steal as they’re modest "silver cards" at $212,000 and $202,000. But as always, the bracket is decisive in the playoffs. Sodbayar "Techno" Munkhbold is the cheapest "bronze" at $178,000.

Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
FURIA can stand on this line: "Teams MOUZ Natus Vincere FURIA The MongolZ PARIVISION BETBOOM Things to note MOUZ and The MongolZ will get 6 points of padding for skipping the quarter-finals. Teams making the …" It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.

The headline skips this: "MOUZ and The MongolZ start from the semi-finals; the rest start from the quarter-finals. All matches are BO3 except for the BO5 grand final." That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
