Who Are the Favorites to win DreamHack Open March?
The North American segment has several well-known teams, but Team Liquid is the overwhelming favorite. As the only team in the top ten, Team Liquid should have a strategic and firepower advantage over its opponents. Triumph and paiN Gaming can potentially throw up a few surprises, but it would take a miracle for Team Liquid to lose this tournament. DreamHack Open March offers a decent amount of money as well as crucial ESL Pro Tour points.
The South American segment is much more competitive with the teams being extremely inconsistent. However, Sharks Esports is probably the favorite to take the title.
