Thunder Predator is undefeated in this tournament after a 2-0 victory over Midas Club and a 2-1 win over beastcoast. The team’s performance has been a significant improvement for the roster as it has climbed in its recent rankings over stronger opponents. Thunder Predator’s drafts have a heavy focus on mobility and movement across the map. The team prefers to constantly engage and disengage from team fights, giving it an advantage with proper timings and movement.

Business Associates had a strong 2-1 victory over 4Zoomers in the upper bracket. However, the team seems to relatively weak compared to its former self from a few weeks ago. This result is mostly due to the new patch and how the players have adjusted to the new patch update. The 7.27 gameplay update and the following 7.27b update brought several gameplay changes and hero changes.
