The main storyline is Vitality vs the field. They come in as the strongest team, but LAN always tests even the best. At the same time, NAVI look to confirm their form, while teams like FaZe, Spirit, and Falcons bring uncertainty and volatility. The LAN factor also matters. FURIA, NiP, and PARIVISION can outperform expectations on stage, making the bracket less predictable. And finally \u2014 every match counts. Even underdogs like NRG or TYLOO are playing for ranking points, not just results.
