After the interviews I have asked every player to make a prediction asking what team will win the whole cup and who is going to surprise.
Hardly surprising,
rockit are the big favorites to win the whole thing, having won the previous three editions of the RtCW-Cups. 
NoPressure and 
KiH are also seen as contenders and predicted to place first by some. However, apart from them no other team is considered to have a chance to get onto the podium, let alone with the whole cup.
There is more variety among the teams that are predicted to pull some upsets.
At first glance it is noticable that the highest density of teams that are predicted to surprise is in group 2 and group 4, so that it's likely those will be the closest.
skk have already proven their potential to surprise by beating 
fixed 3-1 yesterday.
Also seen as underdog areindomitus. The team recently recruited 
dictator and urtier who placed second with chaos in the EXRTCW-Cup and will face rockit as their first big challenge in the 3rd matchweek.
This leaves us with the following keymatches that are likely to play a decisive in the outcome of the groups:
1st matchweek:
skk 3 - 1 fixed
thundercats - 
Super Fighters
frozenfingers 2 - 2 Circle of Haste
2nd matchweek:
cave vs super kawaii kids
thundercats vs iAm
3rd matchweek:
Rockit vs indomitus
cave vs fixed
KiH vs frozenfingers
noPressure vs thundercats
Super Fighters vs iAm
So on behalf of myself and all my interviewees i wish all teams and players good luck and lot's of fun playing!

But ye, if you could rename us to Beaver Hunters we'd be much obliged!

Nice read, how active are the RtCW Pubs these days, haven't played actively for six years and installing the game was a waste of time two years ago. But with so many teams I'd like to know how active it is?
thanks and good luck =)

rtcw pubs = dead
Still hoping on the revive of RtCW =)
But thanks, again.. :P
thanks =)
