Predictions

Community

HiTechRedneck - It’s hard to predict anyone besides Splyce winning, but I personally would like to see Tox take it home. Or someone like Reciprocity or Elevate.
ScudPuddle - I agree. I think it’s either going to be Splyce or Tox. Probably splyce
Gas HCS - Warlord on Mockit one to watch. Frequently performing against the big EU teams online
Sander - Finally a TOX/Splyce final at a normal time for me
