Predictions
When it comes to predictions, we’d have to set our eyes on 4 key teams: Double Poney, Entropiq, Young Ninjas and HYENAS. Double Poney is a formation of French talents who certainly have what it takes to win. Entropiq (Former Winstrike) is also a solid team and could certainly do some damage at Group B. The Young Ninjas have had great results recently, placing 3rd at BLAST Rising 2021 and 5th-8th in LOOT.BET Season 9. And lastly, we have HYENAS, the newest Danish roster to be formed. The team has only been together for a couple of weeks but has gained some experience in Tier 1 and 2 events.
This event is going to be a blast to watch, so be sure to tune in. Remember to come back to Esports Malta for our very own recap after the event is concluded!
