The obvious storylines to follow in this case are numerous. We will see the effect of time on Cloud9's teamwork, as the team will look to incorporate XepheR and Selly more and more into their roster. Additionally, NRG Esports will compete without a determined sixth roster member for now, though they were last seen with ultimawep in Seagull and Mendokusaii's absence.

Matches are set to begin at 12:00 PM Eastern on May 6th, and the casters for the event are Andrew "ZP" Rush, Robert "hexagrams" Kirkbride, Josh "Sideshow" Wilkinson, and Brennon "Bren" Hook. Alex "dashner" Pylyshyn will man the observer's camera throughout the event.
