Best 5 CS:GO Teams in WESG 2018 Grand Finals

Even though not all of the teams are ranked amongst the best CSGO teams in the world, we still have a lot of teams willing to compete here in China. However, there are also some that are ranked amongst the top 10 best CSGO teams in the world.

MIBR

Roster: FalleN | fer | coldzera | TACO | felps | zews

We already talked about MIBR in our WESG 2018 World Finals overview. They are definitely the best team here, and now that they again have their full Brazilian roster and their former coach, I believe that they will stomp everyone in front of them.

When it comes to individual skill, MIBR is definitely the best team in this event, and I am sure that they will have no problems beating the competition here in China.

NiP

Roster: forest | Get_RiGhT | REZ | dennis | Lekro | pita

If anyone can come close to beating MIBR, then this would definitely be NiP. Swedes were able to advance to The New Champions Stage of IEM Katowice 2019. However, they fell short as they had to play against Astralis in their first playoffs match. This event is going to be a real proving ground for them, and I am really interested to see how well they do.

Fnatic

Roster: KRIMZ | JW | Xizt | Twist | Brollan | Jumpy

After their poor showings on IEM Katowice 2019, fnatic will look to make amends, mainly because they left their fans hanging. However, this time around, the competition will not be so tough, so this Swedish roster should be able to accomplish something.

G2

Roster: shox | bodyy | kennyS | Lucky | JaCkz | maLeK

This French roster was on the verge of qualifying for The New Champions Stage of IEM Katowice 2019. However, they fell short, even though they had a couple of promising results. Even though they are a great mixture of young talent and experienced veterans, they are lacking consistency and team play. This could come back to haunt them.

OpTiC

Roster: k0nfig | cajunb | Snappi | JUGi | refrezh | ruggah

Last but not least, OpTiC was nowhere throughout the entire 2018. In 2019, they will definitely want to make their mark on CSGO scene, and where better to start than here on WESG 2018 World Finals. They have a couple of promising players on their roster, and they should be able to win matches simply by outdueling everyone else, at least in the group stage.

Team Analysis – Road to WESG 2018

Denial is a former Bravado roster that was most popular because they ran out of funds for their campaign. They were able to find a new home for themselves, and now they can be focused on their game. I expect a good performance from them at this event.

Viva Algeria is an X-factor. No one knows anything about them, and I reckon that they can not compete against other teams here in China.

NASR is another team based in Africa who looked for their chance of becoming famous on a recent tournament in Malta. They are a very weak team, and you should not expect a lot from them.

Chiefs have always been around Renegades and Grayhound in the Australian region, but they always fell short on the big stage. This is a similar scenario for them, so they will probably be amongst the first eliminated teams.

Absolute is the first team from Japan competing in a professional CSGO tournament. They are another unknown element here in China, and God knows what will they be able to do.

ENZO is a Hong Kong based CSGO roster that qualified for WESG 2018 World Finals. Asian teams are not known for their individual skill, but more for their game plan and cohesion. So no, I am not expecting a lot from this team, and I believe that they will be one of the first teams to be eliminated.

FrostFire, definitely the worst team here. Period.

Revolution is a CSGO organization based in Vietnam. They had a couple of promising results in the Asia based tournaments, but this is definitely the hardest task they ever had.

TNC is another horrible team that will not be able to win a single map here in China.

ALPHA Red is a CSGO team based in Thailand. Just like many other teams, they tried their best in the SuperNova Malta, but they fell short. I believe that they will have similar success in this one.

CyberZen is another popular team from the Chinese region. They could be a potential dark horse in this one, so keep an eye out on them.

Furious Gaming is the only team from Argentina that found its way here. They are another unknown element in this event and no one can know what will they bring to the table.

Imperial is a popular CSGO roster in South America. Even though they were not able to do a lot against tier 1 teams, this is their best chance to prove to the CSGO community that they have what it takes.

Altima is a CSGO team from Mexico. This is their first showing on the big stage, and from my personal experience, they will definitely struggle.

Team Singularity is a North American Esports organization. They are a team mainly based on tier 2 tournaments, so do not expect a lot from them.

WARDELL N Friends is basically a Ghost roster with some changes. They are led by WARDELL and they could prove to be a serious team in China. I believe they have what it takes to surprise other teams here.

Windigo is a Bulgarian CSGO roster that has been playing on a big stage for a while now. Just like WARDELL N Friends, this team could surprise stronger teams if they are underestimated. They certainly have plenty of firepower.

Movistar Riders is a Spanish based CSGO roster. In my personal opinion, they are definitely an up and coming roster that will be ranked in the top 10 in 2019.

Valiance, just like Movistar Riders is definitely a strong CSGO roster. I believe that they have what it takes to beat the likes of fnatic, NiP, and MIBR, but they lack experience.

AGO has been on the CSGO scene for a while now. Even though they were never able to win a trophy, this is their best chance in years. It is going to be interesting to see if they will take it.

Ukraine is an X-factor because their line up has not been confirmed yet.

Russia is represented by 5 veterans of the game. Even though they are a great mix on the paper, I do not think they will be able to compete with the team play of other teams that have been playing together for a while now.

5POWER is a local team here in China. They have been rated amongst the best teams in the Asian region, but they always failed on the big stage, so I do not expect anything from them in this tournament.
