GamerLegion heads into the TI15 NA Qualifier as the team to beat. The organization, which acquired the Apex Genesis roster led by RCY and Fayde, has consistently represented NA at international LAN events. While the squad is still searching for a breakthrough result, the addition of former Nigma Galaxy carry Ghost has strengthened an already talented lineup.
The Bug is expected to provide the toughest challenge. The squad secured its place in the qualifier by winning the first Open Qualifier without dropping a series, including a victory over the stack led by Quinn and Gunnar. With experienced veterans monkeys-forever and Newsham at the helm, The Bug has the potential to make the race for qualification competitive.
