Predictions

NRG Esports have been terrifying to go up against. So far, both their wins in Stage 1 have looked very convincing. Despite NRG missing out on VCT Masters Madrid, they are among the favorites to make it to Shanghai.

Leviatán had a lot of work to do after their underwhelming Kickoff run. In Stage 1, the team has certainly looked a lot better. Their only win in this event has been against the current world champions, Sentinels.

This NRG Esports vs Leviatán match favors the former as their team looks much better prepared than their competition. Despite Leviatán still trying to find their footing, they will not make the series easy for their opponents. The team's Duelist players, Demon1 and aspas, will play a crucial role for their teams.
