most underrated champs opening match

Personally for me its DRX vs KRU

Nah not after DRX's GF vs GEN g. DRX look pretty good enough. It's probably TH vs FPX. Both teams have very developed flex players

Yeah KRU are a very confusing team to me. They can play horrible but then play well the next day.

My prediction is a DRX 2 - 0 KRU
Map 1: 13-10 a few clutches by MaKo and BuZz and maybe flashback manages to push them through a very close map
This map gives the rookies confidence, I think they start out nervous but then start to get comfortable.
Map 2: 13-8 DRX starts off very dominant, they get to map point and KRU string a couple rounds together at the end but not enough

Simple win, map 1 being way closer than what the score
suggest. DRX don’t show much

KRÜ will get max 5 rounds? Maybe 8 if they’re lucky

I’d say LEV vs TLN can be good too

I think Trace vs Vitality will be a banger. Like the type of banger that 100T vs Kru is, it's a close match between 2 good teams but neither are great, but they can have great moments. Ya know what I'm saying?

Wronghand and his management wish to clarify that 100T vs Kru is used as a game example of two close squads, not to imply that Vitality or Trace are on the level of the pigpen of current 100T.

Yeah I feel like we got a big chance to beat DRX, MTA is playing better match by match and the whole team felt very confident about the game plan for every round, last year with in my opinion a worse roster where we had way less firepower and got 0-2'd by PRX which I think has a better roster than 2024 DRX, this year things could go different and the match could be close for any team

Vitality vs Trace 100%
Vitality has everything to prove, Trace has almost no expectations on the international stage. Trace have been looking pretty solid tho. Vitality are most likely heavy favourites but Trace has every chance to make it a tough match or an upset
