Favorites in the fight for places at WePlay Academy League Season 3 Finals

The main favorites from Group A are three teams at once: Young Ninjas, NAVI Junior and Fnatic Rising. These teams are more equal among themselves, showing a decent performance at the group stage. Such epithets are clearly lacking in Astralis Talent, which, on the contrary, expectedly failed in the group, finishing in last place with six points.

In the second grid, the situation is much easier. Here, the main favorite is Spirit Academy, which almost won the group stage, only six points behind the leader. At the same time, the Russian team can unpleasantly surprise opponents, since it will appear at the WePlay Academy League for the first time in the BO3 format.

WePlay Academy League Season 3 runs from January 3rd to February 13th. Ten teams compete for a prize pool of $ 100,000, of which $ 45,000 will go to the winner of the championship.
