8th @ DPC SEA 2021/22 Tour 1: Division 1
9-10th @ Huya Winter Invitational 2021
5-6th @ Mineski Masters

With regards to predictions, it’s natural that first, we need to take a look at the Tour 1 Regional Standings for the regular season:
#1 Quincy Crew – 6-1
#2 TSM – 5-2
#3 Evil Geniuses – 5-2
#4 4 Zoomers – 4-3

Looking at this statistic, it seems that Quincy Crew is slightly above the rest. However, it’s not as clear cut as you would think. Considering that in the regular season teams only play each other once. Below, we’ve listed the four teams, considering the head-to-head statistics:
Quincy Crew – 2-1 (L vs EG, Ws vs TSM + 4 Zoomers)
TSM – 1-2 (L vs QC + EG, W vs 4 Zoomers)
Evil Geniuses – 3-0 (Ws vs QC + EG +4 Zoomers)
4 Zoomers – 0-3 (Ls vs QC + EG + 4 Zoomers)
As you can see, looking at it closely, Evil Geniuses have a better record against the teams attending then Quincy Crew. Bearing this in mind, we’d like to favour Evil Geniuses.
