Natus Vincere will have a tough time against the relatively new The MongolZ, as the young team is rapidly gaining momentum and could present strong, possibly even devastating competition for NaVi.
Team Vitality is determined to win – they consciously choose only ambitious tournaments, relying on intensive training. I expect to see them secure a victory over Liquid.
MOUZ, after their recent win at PGL in Romania, could be considered a strong tournament favorite. However, I don’t see them winning against G2.
I hope Eternal Fire will eliminate Team Spirit… just kidding! I’m all for fair competition, and logically, it looks like Spirit should take the win.
