Perfect World presented an interesting statistic that demonstrates players' preferences regarding the results of teams at the major. In three categories - passing with a score of 3:1/3:2, 3:0, or being eliminated with a score of 0:3 - you can see which teams are most trusted and which are considered outsiders.

Leaders to advance in the 3:1 or 3:2 stage

Players expressed the most confidence in Virtus.Pro, which gained 69.7% of the votes. This team has long established itself as one of the strongest teams and consistently demonstrates a high level of play. Complexity Gaming (63.0%) and FURIA (59.0%) are also in the top of the forecasts, as they have recently shown excellent results, especially in large tournaments.

Players are equally confident about the chances of BIG (58.3%) and Cloud9 (56.6%). Both teams have considerable experience in playing at majors and stable form.

Predictions for a perfect 3-0 score

The most expected leader in this category is The MongolZ with 45.8% of the votes. They are no longer considered a team with little experience compared to other top teams, and their style of play is of great interest to the community.

Team Liquid (40.6%) took the second place with 3-0 odds. This North American team continues to show good form, and many believe that they will be able to pass this stage without defeat. FURIA (25.2%) and Virtus.Pro (21.6%) also distinguished themselves in this category.

Outsiders: who risks ending with a 0-3 record

Players expressed significant distrust in Rare Atom, who received 58.9% of the votes as a team that could end their performances at the major without victories. They are followed by FlyQuest (37.3%) and Imperial Esports (33.4%), which also failed to convince the majority of their chances of a successful performance.

Particularly noteworthy is the situation with Wildcard (29.1%) and Passion UA (13.2%), which are making their first appearance at the major. Although these teams are debutants, their chances of passing are rather skeptical.
