Prediction

HERO (MAIN EVENT PREDICTION)
1. Most of the top heroes will remain their status during the main event.

2. Skywrath Mage will experience fall in popularity due to being much higher valued by the western teams than the eastern teams. With the fall of western team, this hero will not be 1st pick material. Also, the hero itself is a bit risky and provide no lock down to the team.

3. Razor will experience fall in popularity due to having low win rate of 38.2% despite being the most picked hero. Team will now try to think twice before picking him. He will remain top pick material, but will not be picked too early in the draft.

4. Same as Skywrath Mage, Wraith King will no longer be popular because most of the western teams were eliminated.

5. Death Prophet will rise in popularity compared to group stage, but not in a huge way.

6. Shadow Shaman will replace Skywrath Mage to be the most contested support.

7. Io will be completely fall off, and will only be picked up by a few teams.

8. Earth Shaker will be picked more. He is a great pick for the "long range sniper" strategy used by a lot of teams. What I mean here is a strategy to kill the opponent from long range with combination of nukes.

9. Despite being popular pick before TI4, Silencer will remain under picked.

10. Luna will get picked up more during the main event due to being great in all stage of the game and can be used in early push.

11. Morphling is the most successful carry in the group stage, and will remain so in the main event.

12. Strategy with double carry plus big team fight will be the most successful strategy in this tournament.

2. C9 will not enter final this year.

3. VG will have slight edge over Newbee.

4. If EG get radiant side, they will likely lose the game.

5. DK will have slight advantage over EG.

6. Please don't bet for lower bracket since anything can happen there.
