TEAM VISION (PARIVISION) enters the upper-bracket final on strong recent momentum, having posted multiple consecutive wins and topping three-month form rankings ahead of the Shanghai playoffs. Team Yandex holds the top spot in 12-month points and boasts deep tournament experience, though it dropped a group-stage series to Iron Wing. Both squads advance from the double-elimination main event with playoff implications for bracket positioning and grand-final qualification. The best-of-three format heightens the value of draft adaptability and map-specific execution on patch 7.41e, while roster stability and LAN comfort in the Oriental Sports Center remain key variables for traders assessing implied probabilities.
