Format

Contender Division Group A is made up of four teams: Fnatic, Acer, NsHoSeo, and inFDreamteam Gaming. Group B contains TSL, ROOT, FXO EU, and Complexity. Both groups will play round robin against each other team in their group. When group stages are over, the top two teams from each Group will have a chance in the Up and Down matches to join Premier Division.

With TSL disbanded, their wins and losses will have no effects on the standings.

IMO the result depends on if aLive comes out or not.

I think Oz is the only player in Fnatic that has a shot against jjakji. Jjakji has been doing really well in TvT lately, mostly struggling vs Z.

NSH got this. Hard to predict score, I think it depends on when jjakji gets sent out.

Battle of two teams that may be falling apart soon =(

Good luck to NSHS, I think they need it more.

Both of these teams have essentially collapsed- surprised they can still field lineups ;(
GL to NSHS, but i'm just proud of them for even showing up.

Fools, NSH will outlast the game in the end, haha. :p Just watch. Only Fnatic is dying of these two teams.

No clue who will win though, since hard to predict NSH's actual roster at the time of playing, and with teams like this, the result is always stupid, like random all kills or some unknown player racking up the kills.
