BIG b2mt
This German roster is coming off from an early exit on IEM Katowice 2019 Major. Who would have thought that they will go without a victory to their name? This tournament is going to be a proving ground to them, and it is going to be interesting to see how will they play.
ENCE 1k2527
Unlike BIG, ENCE was able to come back from 0-2 in the last Major. Even though they fell short in the grand finals, they are looking sharp. I believe that they have what it takes to beat some of the top contenders in this tournament.
FaZe 1g5mg
There is not much to say about FaZe at the moment. NiKo is playing out of his mind, and if he keeps on playing like this, FaZe can easily lift the trophy here in China. But still, they can go out in the group stage, mainly because of their individual mistakes.
Fnatic 461312
Just like BIG, fnatic had an early exit on the Major, and they will look to make amends. However, I am not buying what they are selling, and I believe that they will struggle to get out of the group stage, again.
HellRaisers 2k1t4h
HellRaisers just lost their best player, woxic. It is going to be interesting to see who is going to replace woxic since the player replacing him has big shoes to fill. I do not rate HellRaisers at all in this one, and I believe that they will be amongst the first teams to be eliminated.
MIBR 4n5w2a
This Brazilian roster is my favorite to win StarSeries i-League Season 7. They were looking really solid against Astralis, and I believe that they are on the right path. Hopefully, they will have enough time to prepare for this one, but I still believe that they have what it takes to lift the trophy in this one.
Natus Vincere 1b6j3z
Another top contender for the title. Natus Vincere has looked solid in Katowice, but their results are heavily infected by s1mple’s performances. If the entire team is capable of stepping up on an individual level, Natus Vincere probably has the biggest chance in this one, but this is a huge if.
NiP 3e4pz
After 4 long years, NiP was finally able to qualify for the Major playoffs. Even though they were stomped by Astralis, they still played on a decent level. If you are looking for a darkhorse in StarSeries i-League Season 7, I found one for you. Betting on NiP to win the entire thing has a lot of value.
North 6r2b6c
There is not much to say about North. They are on the verge of roster changes, mainly because they fell short in every single event in 2019. They even failed to qualify for the IEM Katowice 2019 Major. From my perspective, this team lacks its former in-game leader, MSL. If they do not bring him back soon, they have no chance against stronger teams.
NRG 1b4ub
Just like North, NRG is looking to make amends towards their fans. They were stomped by everyone in The New Legends Stage of IEM Katowice 2019. They even lost to compLexity. However, NRG is not a bad team by any means. They are still very inexperienced and they have a lot to learn. I believe that they will prove a lot of people wrong in this tournament.
Renegades 254l5d
This Australian team surprised everyone with their performance in Katowice. They were the only team to win a map against Astralis, and they did it in a spectacular fashion. Alongside NiP, Renegades CS:GO roster is my second darkhorse prediction. At these odds, they are definitely worth your money.
TyLoo 3m1y34
TyLoo was on a verge of going 3-0 in the Major, but they crumbled under the pressure. This team has a lot of potential, but for some reason, they are simply unable to play at their best. I do not know what to expect from them. They could beat both Natus Vincere and MIBR and then lose to CyberZen. A weird CS:GO roster if you ask me.
Team Spirit 4s6q1x
This Russian based organization was able to attract a lot of young guns to their CSGO roster. Even though they are struggling against top contenders, they still have a lot of firepower. This is why they are so dangerous. But, they barely ever play against this level of competition, and they will probably not advance through to the playoffs.
Rogue 3p5f3w
The second North American roster on StarSeries i-League Season 7. There is not much that this team will be able to do in this tournament. I am predicting an early exit for them.
CyberZen f695v
Even though this roster was acquired by Panda Gaming, this did not change anything. They are still suffering heavy defeats against any decent teams, and this is not going to change now.
Ex-Wild 4l574k
Another CSGO roster that was sold off to another organization. Ex-Wild is playing under Pain Gaming banner at the moment. Even though this team had glimpses of perfection not so long ago, I don’t think they have what it takes to be a threat to other teams here.
