Predictions for the Free Fire City Open
Since this is the very first iteration of this exciting event, it’s quite difficult to throw out some predictions. Regardless, let’s dig in to see what we can use as a reference by glancing at the performances at the City Play-Ins.
- Delhi Titans – a strong team indeed, dominating their Play-In with a 31 point lead on second place. Bearing this in mind, they look to be strong contenders at the National Finals.
- Hyderabad Nawabs – with regards to the Nawabs, they were probably the most shockingly powerful team in the Play-Ins. Indeed, by scoring 146 points with their closest competitor at 64 truly raises the expectations.
- Lucknow Warriors – probably placed in one of the toughest Play-In groups with teams such as Survivor 4AM, they managed to pull out a tough victory. Such a test will prove helpful at the main event.
Although those are three notable teams, everybody has a chance to go far.
