Avant Garde and Team Pandamonium dominated the statistics and the OPL this split. In Split 2, Avant Garde were very middle-to-low tier but showed up at the Split 2 LAN and since then they have been on fire and desperate to prove the doubters and those who say the Split 2 LAN was a fluke or a “once off” wrong. ElChuckles has led the way for this team but each of his teammates has excelled in their role and been either the top or the second best at their position. Team Pandamonium have an exceptionally talented roster but are a newer team, the current roster only coming together at the start of this split so their have still been some growing pains for them but their raw talent and veterancy have carried them to second place. These two are definitely the teams to watch heading into the Regional Finals, but don’t be surprised if Alpha Sydney or Legacy pull off an upset. After all, an upset at the Split 2 finals is what sparked Avant Garde’s run of domination, and anything can happen at LAN.

Here are the final standings for Split 3:

Avant Garde (24 points) z Team Pandamonium (23 points) x Legacy eSports (15 points) x Alpha Sydney (14 points) x Corvidae (3 points) Royalty (2 point)

x = Confirmed for Split 3 LAN, z = Confirmed top seed
