Biggest Surprise
Biggest Disappointment
idk if DRX will give us a surprise, I expect them to be solid in groups, but no more.
The Guard, yes I can totally see them flopping out. They're a younger and less inexperienced team and idk how mature they will be in quickly addressing various playstyles and from different regions which they have not encountered a lot in NA,. That being said, they have more time to prepare and learn the different teams' playstyles and tactics by watching their group stage matches.
biggest surprise: PRX
biggest disappointment: G2
This tournament is interesting because the teams that would theoretically have the highest expectations aren't attending or have had extenuating circumstances coming into this tournament. I don't think there are many teams that could really have a performance that is considered a "disappointment" because of this.
