G2 stands as a dominant force heading into Shanghai, boasting exceptional firepower and an impressive 81.8% pistol round win rate. With m0NESY competing for the #1 player position and NiKo seeking his first Major trophy, their consistent performance and strengthened roster make them prime contenders.

Natus Vincere enters as defending champions with four titles this year. Their recent BLAST World Finals performance has provided valuable preparation time.
