Team Liquid played in Berlin in place of FunPlus Phoenix and gave a great competition to other teams and Guild Esports has been ever favorited because of their performance and team composition. M3 Champions had also qualified for VCT Berlin but were knocked out early.

Both groups look promising and have made some changes to their teams because of a reason or two. So will the changes bring in a great improvement or a disaster for the team? We can only wait and watch.
