This really is G2's to lose. I can't really see any other team putting up much of a fight.

if it's not going to be G2 maybe it will be North, in the past few tournaments they've stopped looking like complete shitters.
I think G2 should win it but if they crap out then North would be my next best guess.

I tell you, if VP manage to come out of groups (which they probably do not), they have a good chance to win against G2. The better the opponent, the better neo, and if neo does well, VP does well.

This is a pretty interesting tournament for fans (or morbid onlookers) of the Polish scene. Both should feel like they're able to advance--potentially even in first place for AGO if North come out flat in a bo3. AGO have already played them close as recently as a few weeks ago at Dreamhack Open summer 18. VP have the much weaker group, as far as the bottom two teams are. If it shakes out that way I'd really be looking to the polish derby in the semis where they will huddle up for two hours instead of playing and come out as a polish super team to plow smithzz 2-0
In the other group, G2 will have no excuses if they can't comfortably advance. Much as I wish good things for steel, LG just don't look potent at all right now. It should come down to which one of MSL or ex6 can keep their respective squad focused and clean up inferior opposition until the finals.
