Heading into the ESL One Stockholm Major, there werent any standout favorites for a couple of reasons.

Firstly,PSG.LGDwerent attending, so the most dominant team in Dota 2 was out of the picture.

Dota 2 caster Gabriel Lyrical Cruz even predicted EG topping their group.

Granted, they did undergo a couple of roster changes, but the team is still quite experienced.

While most of Group A is decided, Group B is anything but decided.

Mind Games were disqualified, so no one is under the threat of being eliminated.

That is one outcome neither the teams nor the tournament admins will be hoping for.
