The last gasp before TI2017.
The last gasp before all the teams that don't win Kiev will kick and reform.
The last gasp before xiao8 comes back from retirement to own in Seattle.
The last gasp before Arteezy returns to Team Secret.
The last gasp before EternalEnvy realizes he must kick himself from his own team.

Top 5 in no order.
OG
newbee
IG
EG
VGJ

I havent seen ex-dc/thunderbirds played in a long time so I can't tell how will they perform.
As for EG, I'm scared they might underperform.

Did Maut cast at Boston?

I really don't know why he keeps getting these gigs, he's one of my least favorite casters.

EDIT: SG first blood. Oh boy, I would love to see these guys to beat OG. The salt would be delicious.

I didn't buy any of the cosmetics or the battle pass for this major. Anything exclusive to it that can't be bought after it ends?
