• BDS Esport:"I don't see us as favourites ... but I think we have got the capacity to be the best"

• Mkers: "Playing without precise strategies or bans (in the PGN) is just a precaution that we felt we had to take"

• Team Empire: "Confidence is the most important part ... In a Bo1, even one mistake can cost you three points"

• Virtus.pro: "We're struggling to close out rounds while having big advantages, so we are trying to work on that" (Interview before the DQ)

• FaZe Clan: "They said that we would play in another European country if things went wrong"

• MIBR: "For them, it will be the first [such tournament] ... Pressure will be the biggest enemy"

• FURIA Esports:"Empire proved to every team that [reaching the Grand Final] is possible, there's no reason to think otherwise"

• Giants Gaming: "It really wasn't about the level of competition ... we almost lost our jobs without warning"

• CYCLOPS athlete gaming: "If we go into the matches with a 'losing' mentality, we should not even play"
