The reigning Major champions, Team Spirit (4.00) are the main favourites, closely followed by Natus Vincere (4.33) and Team Vitality (4.33), who will debut their new star player, Robin "ropz" Kool.

The revamped G2 Esports (4.50) are priced as fourth-favourites, ahead of FaZe Clan (5.00), who recently signed ex-Complexity star Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski.

MOUZ (8.00) and Team Liquid (13.00) have not made any blockbuster signings this offseason but remain live dark horses for a deep run, and the same can be said about the new-look Team Falcons (15.00), who have the potential to compete for top spots.

Eternal Fire (19:00), Astralis (21.00), Virtus.pro (26.00), FURIA (34.00), HEROIC (41.00), and paiN Gaming (41.00) fall into the "unlikely to reach the LAN" category, along with 3DMAX (51.00), the revamped BetBoom Team (51.00), MIBR (67.00), and GamerLegion (67.00).
