We will take 1st in group and fnatic is the hardest team out there at the moment. I don't fear any team in group A but I would say Smart Went Crazy will be the most difficult team in our group.” - Alex 'Sender' Wieker| Group B | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think my team will do fine after the changes to our group. Team smart went crazy was the toughest opponents and the team were looking forward to playing the most.

We have played against all the teams in our group and we feel like we can pull through and win our group.” - AreZet (Isot Pelit)| Group C | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
