Key Takeaways
Group C is undeniably the Major's "group of death," with Heroic and w7m both topping their regional leagues, G2 marking their international debut with their newest roster which topples all expectations, and DarkZero hoping for their first title in their ninth consecutive global tournament. All four of these teams have a good shot at winning the Major.
While the group has several well-known names, only one of the four teams, DarkZero, has previously played on a worldwide scale, with the other three either recently founded or never having reached this level of competition. This signifies that the group is actually a wildcard on its own.
G2 versus w7m should not be missed since they are head-to-head skillswise and betting odds, which will result in a very back and forth match. W7m were the second only to Liquid before coming out of their region and G2 almost got late to the party but managed to fight their way into the Major. They will also face the leading EUL team Heroic and if they manage to beat them they may very well change all the expectations for the European region.
In Charlotte's group B, CYCLOPS will be wedged by three Brazilian squads. CYCLOPS will be hopeful that the fifth time is the charm with their new Japanese roster, since they have not to exit the global group stage in their three years of attempting. Overall their matches with XSET have higher stakes than any other match in the tournament and ought not to be missed.
