Typo and LA Renegades visibly go into this week as major favourites, after doing exceptionally well at the Asian Minor Championship in Cologne, earlier this year. But the rest – all of whom had to battle through regional qualifiers to get here – aren’t exactly pushovers either. It’s probably safe to say that we’ll be in for an absolute ride this weekend!
