      I have done my research and this is what I came up with:

      2 teams will only play 1 best of 2 series - Pain Gaming and Optic Gaming , so it is best to avoid any players from those 2 teams,even if you have golden cards with amazing bonuses, bcs they will only play 2 games.

      10 teams will play 2 best of 2 series - Winstrike, Fnatic, OG, Vici Gaming, Serenity, Virtus Pro, TNC, VG Storm, Team Secret and Newbee. For this I am not sure if its worth it to put some player card from this teams, bcs they will only play 4 games, but if you have some good golden card with amazing bonuses, I think it is worth it. You should also consider match ups, where by the looks of it, it is the best to choose Virtus Pro where is most likely they will get 4-0 in their series vs Serenity and Optic, but thats risky, from this teams, you should investigate match ups and select cards from team that is most likely to get all 4 wins, in that way you will get a lot of points, maybe even more if you put player that will play 6 games but you have green or silver card with some weird bonuses.

      6 teams will play 3 best of 2 series - PSG LGD, Mineski, Evil Genius, VG Thunder, Team Liquid & Invictus Gaming. This is probably the best category to choose from, bcs every player out of this teams will play 6 games, and if you can predict which team will get all 6 victories you will earn a ton of points, especially if you put some golden card with stacked bonuses that are actually good (keep in mind you dont want to put golden or silver cards with core players that have bonuses like: observer wards placed, camps stacked, stuns etc, bcs in that way you will not earn as many points , you will earn more if you put silver card of the same player with bonuses for core player like (GPM, Last hits, Roshan Kills, Teamfight etc) This is very important detail that will help you get maximum points.

      In the end, when we know all of this, it is only matter of luck to pick players from teams that will have 6-0 and 4-0 victories and to have some good bonuses on golden and silver cards, but even if you dont have golden or silver, green common card will also grant you a lot of points if that player gets maximum number of wins and matches last long time.

      I just want to give one more example, it is better to put green common card S4 as offlaner than golden card with 5 amazing bonuses of 33 from optic gaming, bcs S4 will play 6 games and 33 will only play 2 and he might lose both.

      I hope this helps you understand, bcs it helped me while I was writing this all down.

        First day I had
        RTZ-Sumail-S4-Xnova-Kuroky (sumail was silver and kuro was golden, rest of the cards were common green)
        I got 465.54 points out of it in total
        Feels Good, as for group predictions goes, I got 20/25 from day 1, and I havent watched all games.

          Hello guys , that's my predictions for day 3 http://prntscr.com/kjncxj

          yt@serbiangamer

            Day two wasnt that good for me, I had
            Sccc-w33-SamH-Kingrd-Puppey (SamH was silver card and rest of them were common green)
            I got 425.06 points, and I am not satisfied, I hoped for more than 450.
            But there was this one game bugged between TNC vs Virtus Pro , that neted less points for my SamH.
            Also, Sccc underperformed and NewBee in general.

              Easy points when you have all gold cards. Nice to be 2k bp

              Väinämöinen

                filthy peasents not having 3k BP

                Suck my tiny curry dick

                  I no nEed 3k. Got aegis and rosh every year good enough. I play to lose so team can’t get points

                  Suck my tiny curry dick

                    I bet big and tell team to do same before I throw.

                      Allright, day 3 is over and this is how it went for me
                      Miracle golden card 107.61
                      Abed silver 81.38
                      Mind Control common 70.65
                      DJ golden card 89.91
                      Kuroky golden card 88.92

                      In total, day 3 gave me 438.47 points.
                      It could have been better if I had different offlaner and maybe another core.

                        Day 4 results:
                        My choice was kind of good, but it could have been better, I had
                        Ace(silver)-w33(common)-Sneyking(silver)-SVG(golden)-Puppey(common)
                        Points I got out of those picks:
                        Ace 88.18
                        w33 48.24
                        Sneyking 46.55
                        SVG 67.17
                        Puppey 82.05

                        In total, for day 4 I earned 332.19 and I now have 1661.26 while first guy in top global 100 has over 1.800 points.
                        Now I regret that I havent picked Fata for offlane (was playing safe with sneyking) and any other core from Optic insted w33, I would be at 1700 points for sure now, and probably at top10%, this way, I need to pick smarter to earn them 16 battle pass levels.

                            Day 6 was a disaster for my fantasy team.
                            I went with
                            Sumail silver 44.04 (my only good pick this day)
                            Ace silver 13.84 (worst choice I could have possibly made, he set new record for lowest points on any core this TI)
                            XinQ common 18.12 (offlaner from serenity scored more points than core from secret, he did good but I could have put here S4 or Fata)
                            Cr1t golden 21.70 (another experiment of mine,bcs I got golden crit from recycling cards and wanted to test him, I regret, SVG was my first choice here and I changed it for crit and that cost me good points, never again)
                            Ninjaboogie golden 31.67 (he is my second kind of solid card for this day that actually got me some points, to bad I wont be using him anymore, thanks for keeping me in race for top10%)

                            Total points earned for this day 129.36 (I was expecting minimum 150 out of it) and overall score is now 1957.23
                            Onto the next game now!

                              Day 7, oh man...
                              Who ever guessed that Team Liquid and EG will lose in upper bracket, gj for you, and if you had any cards from LGD for your fantasy roster for this day you did good, I did not...

                              Miracle golden 13.41 (one of his worst performance in last 2 years)
                              Sumail silver 50.09 (he never disapoint even when he lose)
                              MindControl common 16.28 (still he did better than Miracle)
                              xNova silver 31.46 (very solid performace, scored more points than miracle and mindctrl together tho)
                              SVG golden 32.64 (safe bet as awlays 30+ points)

                              So, my only regret here is that I favored Team Liquid over LGD Gaming, and I payed the price by losing 50+ points...
                              Still, after 7 days, my overall score is 2101.11
                              Score for this day was 143.88 , slightly better than yesterday...

                                I have entire lineup for VP for today, already 141 points.

                                Vertoxity

                                  Everyone above 2.2k points at the end of the grand finals is likely to get to the top 10%, so, easy 16.000 levels
