Bilibili Gaming
After what we witnessed in the NRG Esports matchup, it is hard to consider Bilibili Gaming an underdog anymore, regardless of the opponent. Their first playoff confrontation is against a team renowned for its exceptional coordination in gameplay. How Whzy and Co, with their unorthodox and uber-aggressive playstyle, fares against a team like DRX will be interesting to see.
