Effect

It’s hard to base our expectations for Effect on anything since this will be the team’s first Pro Circuit event. A few of their members have experience on big LAN stages but none of them have made much of an impact on the professional scene beyond a few appearances here and there.

In the ESL One Katowice 2018 CIS qualifier, they were seeded directly into the second round and beat both

Team Spirit and

Vega Squadron * on their way to victory, but neither of those two teams have much to show this season either - Vega have made one Pro Circuit and Team Spirit have had none.
