[Published with the original spelling and punctuation preserved]

My main favorites are BetBoom Team, Team Yandex and PARIVISION. I chose them because I like the way they play and at the same time these guys represent the CIS scene.

I’ll call HULIGANI the main sensation, because Mirage is playing there, and I really want them to go far. He deserves it and I'm glad I played with him - he's really good.

I'll call LGD Gaming a disappointment, because in recent tournaments they have been playing very poorly, and I doubt that anything will change in a couple of weeks.

Earlier, the main favorites of the tournament, as well as the team that could disappoint the community, were named by Rinat 'KingR' Abdullin.
