Predictions
So, in order to place proper predictions, we need to look at the qualifier events, where all teams competed. Bearing this in mind, let’s list all the first place seeds for each Qualifier as the likely largest threats:
- NA Qualifier #1 – Complexity Gaming
- NA Qualifier #2 – Party Astronauts
- SA Qualifier #1 – Case Esports
- SA Qualifier #2 – MIBR
Of course, while there are these four seeds hoping to secure victory, FURIA Esports remain the favourites for the event. Especially after placing 5-8th at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, they remain the biggest favourites to win the regional seeding event.
Do note that this event will be taking place together with other regional seeding events for multiple other regions. In this past year, the American region hasn’t competed too well internationally with Europe taking the lead.
We can’t wait to see which teams make it through to the $1,000,000 Major, where the best 24 teams in the world will compete.
