Favorites and Underdogs
Among those teams, we think it would be fair to call HEROIC and Eternal Fire favorites to take their spots on the Main stage. Also, teams like FURIA, 3DMAX, FlyQuest, paiN, and MIBR will all have some advantage against the rest of the teams.
For the underdogs and dark horses, it might be Lynn Vision, who recently changed one of their core players. We are yet to see how it goes. It would be good to see a Chinese team making it to the Main Stage so that there is more of a mix of regions.
