• 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
