Matches Preview:
Cloud9 vs. Eternal Fire
Cloud9 started their run well, beating Evil Geniuses in the first match.
They are expected to land second place if not the top in the group, so it seems like they are on the right path.
They should have a cakewalk until they face Team Liquid.
Eternal Fire fell short on their match against FURIA yesterday, and even though they would have a shot at teams like the Raiders and Evil Geniuses, they will have a hard time against Cloud9 tomorrow.
They did, however, pull out a competitive match, which gives hope to the team.
Movistar Riders vs. FURIA Esports
Movistar Riders were supposed to be the easiest team to be dealt with, but their match against top seed Team Liquid was one interesting clash.
Even though they were defeated, they have shown to be a lot better than expected and maybe other teams shouldn’t underestimate them.
FURIA is not the most exciting team to watch as it used to be, but they got things going their way so far.
They managed to beat Eternal Fire in their previous match and should be doing good as they face the Riders in their next match.
They are the 3rd seed in the group and their luck has them going forward.
Team Liquid vs. Evil Geniuses
Team Liquid is the favorite to take the top spot.
They’re looking great, and they had one hell of a match to start their engines.
From what it seems, they are only going to keep pushing forward.
Evil Geniuses had a tough first match, and they did just as expected.
They were beaten badly by the 2nd seed of the group, so now, facing the top seed, they should not have an easier time than the last.
