nouns vs Azure Ray Preview and Predictions: The International 2023 – UBQF

The Internatibal 2023 is brewing exciting matchups in the upper brackets and Nouns vs Azure Ray will be a match between two dark horse teams.

Azure Ray and Nouns both had disappointing starts to their group stages at The Internatinal 2023 but they bounced back well over phase two of the tournament, where they surprised everyone and secured their upper bracket spots, defeating Entity and Tundra, respectively. Now these dark horses will collide to move forward for perhaps an epic TI run.
