I cannot ignore the fact that GamerLegion won six consecutive matches, while Project X lost two of the last three. I am backing GamerLegion to get a win and secure their place in the playoffs. Project X will have to look for a victory elsewhere, and I am sure they will also manage to qualify for the playoffs. Still, they will lose this one.
