NA Open Qualifier 2 is Full of Surprises

I don't even think some of these are upsets, TSM and Gen.G look pretty shit and just lost to the better team, they just have the name value of being bigger orgs. I'd say RNG - Cosmic Divide, KCP-BBG and T1-VIRTUOSO are the only real upsets, maybe Complexity-Soar and FaZe-Ghost, but I wouldn't say Complexity and FaZe are heavy favorites either

Why didn't they mention rise??

They're upsets because they were the favourites to win the match. That's what makes it an "upset".

Rise wasn't mentioned because they weren't part of an upset match. They won both games so it doesn't need to be covered. in that specific article.

what i mean is that TSM and Gen.G being the favorites comes from their big fanbase, not actual recent results
