Group drawings are always an exciting and intense part of a tournament as it can determine the final outcome of the tournament and lead to a demise of promising teams. The term "Group of Death" is a usual phrase that gets thrown around on those occasions and now labels Group D of DreamHon Summer Championship. With the reigning champions Fnatic and prospect teams like Clan Milk, TmRy, QsQ 1 and CantDoSpaces the group looks particularly strong. Arguably, Fnatic is the favorite, but with their focus switching more and more to Dota 2, a couple of teams could actually dethrone them and jump in the driver seat of the group.Group A is highlighted by the battle of the QsQ squads. Three teams from the program will actually play in this group and compete for suprimacy in the QsQ organization and for the chance to advance further. Still QsQ will not just walk through the group and be the only attraction as well-known teams like Nineties, Orange eSports, Smackdown Syndrome, unZ and Pikachu all got drawn into one of the scaries groups in the entire phase two.Group B will see American standout Trademark eSports going in as the favorite for the first spot. Nevertheless, the competition for this top spot or even the second place could be really tight with teams like DreamOn, FIT, iMpunity gunning for these coverted placements. Even the remaining four teams like saishii or Dynasty have shown really good performances over the course of the last month, with Dynasty going head-to-head with Tt eSports in the Clan Milk Lockpick Cup exceeding all expectations. Still, the teams are most likely just looking for an upset here and there.Last in the ranking of strength is arguably Group C with the runner-up from DreamHon Tt eSports claiming the position of absolute favorites. Still, the group holds a lot of interesting storylines in place like "Clash of the Russians" with GA and Cats Gaming going against each other. Additionally, the group will see a good international roster in Vitriolic and a good Southeast Asian team MuFC coming off a good experience at the DreamHack Summer event. The other three European teams FackyouKurdi, QoP and Call it Karma are a little bit of unknown quantities at this point, but this is their time to shine and make a name for themselves.The games will start tomorrow at 21 CET with the four matches from Group A. Honcast and ZyoriTV will each stream one game from the day, with ZyoriTV taking over the SEA participant.
