Elite League Stage Two: Interesting matchups
The Round-Robin Stage consists of eight invited teams and eight teams from the Swiss Stage. It will be interesting to see teams from the Swiss Stage manage to defeat the invited teams. OG is in the same group as Team Falcons and Team Spirit.
Meanwhile, Tundra Esports, having recently welcomed Zai as General Manager and Tobi as the stand-in, will face off against Gaimin Gladiators, Team Liquid, and Xtreme Gaming. These are three teams that have shown good results for a while.
On the other hand, Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators find themselves in the same group, setting the stage for a classic showdown. Team Liquid lost every Bo5 match against Gaimin Gladiators last year. Can Team Liquid beat their Kryptonite this time?
