Favorites to win the series are Natural 9 and It's Gosu. Having gone 4-1 in The Defense and winning their tiebreaker game against Na'Vi, the Aussies will be out for blood to prove that their results are not just a fluke.

Since being picked up by It's Gosu, the team has not have a great run in tournaments they participated in, failing to advance to the second group stage in "The Defense". They too will be out to prove to themselves and the rest of the world that they definitely deserve the sponsorship of It's Gosu.
