The main story here involves the participation of teams like PARIVISION, Falcons, MOUZ, Aurora, and The MongolZ, all of whom should comprise the event favorites. Of these teams, only PARIVISION have won a trophy so far in 2026, and without Vitality in attendance, it represents a great opportunity for these teams to get on the board and build some momentum prior to the Major.
