Predictions

Global Esports made several changes to their roster for the 2024 season. While the team has improved since last year, they haven't been able to put many wins under their belt. However, so far, the team has definitely looked better than they did in Kickoff.

DRX made a major revamp to their roster for the 2024 season. These changes did see some success but the team was still unable to qualify for the international event. In Stage 1, the team already started off great by earning a clean 2-0 win.

This match of Global Esports vs DRX heavily favors the latter as they typically have more planned-out strategies. However, Global Esports has been looking better at this event and could turn things around in their favor.
