paiN
A sudden rise is something any team could need some time to come to terms with, and paiN certainly seem to have ascended a point not hitherto crossed by them. Following their win over MIBR, they managed to edge out Team Liquid for the second time in a month with a thriller of a 3-game series. Now they look primed to take out Imperial, who look good, but not as good as them.

Imperial
It’s been a very long time since Fallen has looked to be in such excellent shape, and Imperial has taken advantage of it with a run that could land them their first appearance at a BLAST seasonal event. The team hasn’t exactly taken out any heavyweights directly though, but they did take out EG Black, who took care of FURIA Esports, and could end the tournament with a win against Liquid’s eliminators.
