While last year’s champions, Evil Geniuses, will be noticeably absent after failing to qualify, the stage is set for a new team to etch their name in history. Familiar powerhouses like Fnatic, Sentinels, and DRX will be looking to add another championship trophy to their cabinet, while up-and-coming teams, like Team Vitality and Trace Esports, will be eager to prove themselves on the global stage.
