Group B is the most-balanced group in the early stage of the tournament.
Evil Geniuses, as usual, has made no roster changes since The International 8. They are definitely one of the top five teams in the world right now and were second runner-up in The International 8, showing strong form and synergy.
Vici Gaming, one of the top five teams in China right now, was able to qualify from the China Region, proving that they are ready to face any team in the world and compete for the title at the Kuala Lumpur Major.
TNC Predator, the team that qualified from South East Asia Region, should be the bottom flagger of this group. Gabbi, the carry position player of TNC Predator is not really a good player in this team. We believe they could do better if Raven, the member of Team Lotac, came back to TNC Predator to replace Gabbi.
Team Aster is coached by Burning and is an underdog with the potential to cause upsets here. Although the team has only been forged recently, Burning is really doing his job and making this team play well together.
Team Aster punters should take — Loveyouloveme is replacing Dstones on 2 November 2018, potentially effecting the team’s synergy.
