Cloud9 are ranked 11th in the world rankings, but this season they are definitely one of the contenders for the top 3. The team has a long vacation, but maybe it will do them good, because for a long time they were at various bootcamps and did not rest at all. They had enough time to prepare for this championship and a good result can be expected from the “clouds”. By the way, they are the main favorite in the group and claim to reach the upper bracket.
Evil Geniuses ranks 35th in the ranking and has not yet been distinguished by a high-quality game on the tier-1 scene. The team has another opportunity to prove themselves, but it is far from certain that it will take advantage of it. We emphasize that the geniuses signed two new players about a month ago and hardly had time to play together. Of course, in their region the Americans showed good results and developed a series of up to four victories, including defeating BHOP (2:0) and ATK (16:6), but the ESL Pro League will have a completely different level, with which EG again can not cope.
