Nordavind Preview

Nordavind dominated its group stage with a 5-1 score. The team’s only loss came against AGO Gaming, a series that went the distance of thirty rounds. Nordavind lost the series 14-16, but had a commendable performance in the match.

FATE Preview

FATE had a relatively close group stage. The team qualified for the playoffs because of the round difference. In fact, Movistar Riders which was the favorite to win the group failed miserably in the second phase of the round robin group stage. This allowed FATE to have a decent score. The players are not as popular as Nordavind, but they pack a punch.
