peacemaker sees ESL Pro League Season 24 as one of the key tournaments before the Major invite cutoff, with VRS points becoming increasingly important. For teams like NAVI, 9z and BetBoom, every result can have a major impact on their position heading into the final part of the season.
He is especially concerned about NAVI, saying their recent problems appear deeper than something that can be fixed quickly. FURIA are another team to watch, as peacemaker believes they may not have treated this event as their main priority, while Legacy are expected to struggle with a stand-in.
At the top, Spirit arrive as one of the strongest teams, but peacemaker is not fully convinced they will win the tournament. Instead, he sees Vitality and Falcons as the main contenders, while OneWin are his pick for a possible surprise run.
