Week 3 Preview

The series to watch is TSM vs Cloud9 on Friday. As they both won both of their series this week, this series should put TSM to the test. Another important series is Immortals vs Team Envy. While Team Envy has a better record so far Immortals has only lost against TSM and should be an assessment of Team Envy's strength.
