TEAMS TO WATCH OUT FOR

2024 started out with a shocking amount of roster changes. Popular fan favourite teams like Faze and XSET failed to qualify to the Split 1 Playoffs. The rivalry between DarkZero and TSM continues. Will either of these teams be crowned Champions once again? Luminosity Gaming is also a team to look out for, since signing their new team, which includes Sweet, former NRG who is one of the best IGLs in the scene.

Team Liquid is one of the most consistent teams from since they started competing. Will they finally raise the trophy this time? I’ll be keeping an eye out on Legends Gaming (former BLVKHVND), a strong team from Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, mouse and keyboard fragger EzFlashKIDZ will not be making it this LAN due to personal issues. In his place, Koyful, former XSET will be stepping in to maybe take the team to victory.

Stay tuned for match results as we will keep updating you throughout the weekend!
