Several BLAST Open Lisbon teams enter the tournament with strong momentum and high expectations. Spirit, led by Player of the Year donk, continue to dominate the scene, establishing themselves as the team to beat.

Two of the underdogs on paper, MongolZ and Eternal Fire have shown they are more than capable of taking down the biggest names, making them a dangerous wildcard.

Meanwhile, Vitality, NAVI, and G2 - perennial heavyweights - have the experience to make deep runs, while MOUZ and Falcons are eager to prove they can consistently challenge the best.

FURIA and Liquid might be flying under the radar, but both squads possess the firepower to shake up the tournament if they find their rhythm at the right time.
