Plucky upstarts
Team Adroit
Filipino Adroit have so far not taken part at any major tournaments. They did win the recent VKGAME Battle Of Dawn, but the players still lack experience when it comes to match-ups against tier-1 teams. Being in the same group as Goliath Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid, the hurdles are very high for them to overcome.
Team Unknown
Sometimes, nomen est omen – but it can also come out as the contrary. The Peruvian unknown haven't celebrated any international success, but still fought their way through the Chengdu 2019: South America Qualifier. The team does not have to face the absolutely strongest opponents in their group stage, but will still have to give everything they can to advance.
J.Storm
North American team J.Storm earned their participation by getting 3rd place at the Chengdu 2019: North America Qualifier. However, they will not have an easy path at the Major. They will meet opponents who they do not seem to have the best chances against. During the ESL One Birmingham 2018: North America Qualifier and at DreamLeague Season 12, they fell short against several contenders who will also try their luck at the first Major.
Team Spirit
Russian Team Spirit was formerly known under Positive Guys until they were signed in late October. Despite being able to defeat the current Virtus.pro and Natus Vincere in the qualifiers, the squad still lacks experience in playing against major teams. They do not have important tier-1 players in their ranks, but have to compete against giants such as Vici Gaming, Alliance and Fnatic in the group stage, who are among the favorites to win the tournament.
