4 times the teams played each other, 2 wins by nouns, 1 draw and 1 win by Wildcard Gaming in the last match, which took place on July 30th.
In the upper bracket, there will not be such a strong pressure on nouns yet, since they are considered a team that should impose a fight on Soniqs. If the game was in the lower bracket, I would definitely believe in Wildcard Gaming. I expect all 3 maps and the fight from Wildcard Gaming.
Also, do not forget that Wildcard Gaming plays with Alone as a substitute, without the main mid player - esK, there were problems even with The Cut, especially the first map, nouns should be considered a clear favorite and go through Wildcard Gaming.
Wildcard Gaming heroes used in The International 11 qualifiers (North America)
- Yves: Templar Assassin/Troll Warlord
- Alone: Tiny/Shadow Fiend

- Costabile: Faceless Void/Specter
- Gunnar: Primal Beast/Ember Spirit
- Moo: Dawnbreaker/Enigma
- ZFreek: Mirana/Sven
- Husky: Undying/Death Prophet
Wildcards definitely have a chance to take 1 card due to the weak Gunnar in the mid and his strange heroes like Primal Beast and so on. I believe in nouns, but I expect Wildcard Gaming to impose competition.
- Victory nouns - coefficient 1.34
- Wildcard Gaming win - odds 3.38
- Overtime 2.5 on cards - coefficient 2.19
- TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.61
For 1 card from Wildcard Gaming - coefficient 1.76; at 2:0 from nouns - coefficient 2. Ambiguous quotes, I would still believe better in Wildcard Gaming, 1 card for 1.76.
Prediction: Wildcard Gaming will take 1 card from nouns - coefficient 1.76; with the risk of winning in the Wildcard series - odds 3.38
