Predictions
In order to help you get a better understanding of the teams participating, we have listed the favourites and challengers for today:
Favorites:
0.5. REUNITED
REUNITED seems be living their name all over again. They were a team of reunited players from other games, and took control of the European scene. Then things happened leading up to the removal of TwoEasy, and they replaced him with Kyb. And now, REUNITED is once again performing well and as such have really reunited as a new team. With the absence of Creation eSports, they are one of two favorites that can take it.
0.5. Misfits
Misfits is the other clear favorite for today. They are #3 in Europe, one spot behind REUNITED, but it really is up in the air which of the teams is better. They are sporting a 79% winrate in July so far, and we expect this winrate to rise today. They won their last match against REUNITED 3-1, but we will see if they can repeat that feat.
Challengers:
1. SG-1
Alright, we admit we haven't been giving SG-1 enough credit. While we do regularly see them as viable challengers, they deserve to be the favorites in most circumstances. Sadly, the circumstances that they aren't the favorites often include involvement of REUNITED especially. Maybe their easy 4-0 victory in King of the Watch yesterday will springboard them to a win.
2. 2sTroNk
2sTroNk has not signed up completely registered yet, but we hope they will. They always show us fun games, and it's great seeing them grow. They might have to face Melty eSports though, a team you can never count out and which won their last match versus 2sTroNk.
