OWCS Grand Finals Preview — Four Storylines That Matter

OWCS Grand Finals weekend kicks off May 3 with four very different storylines pointing in four different directions.

Storyline one: T1 vs Crazy Raccoon would be the first Korean grand final in three years — most likely matchup on current form. Storyline two: NRG’s NA-vs-everyone narrative finally has a path back through the lower bracket if they hold form.

Storyline three: a new Spitfire-shaped European team has slipped quietly into the top four after a roster shuffle that looked panicked at the time. Their map pool is the most flexible in the field. Storyline four — and most worth watching — is the patch impact. Blizzard’s 4.13 patch lands the week before finals.
