This week, teams are still trying to figure out their rosters and how to play in this new meta and ban system. Despite only switching out Doublelift for Wildturtle, TSM looked sloppy compared to their dominating performance last year. The best team looks to be Cloud9 with their coordinated play and shotcalling along with Contractz' impressive performance.
