Coach of the ENCE team Eetu "sAw" Saha shared his prediction on the outcome of ESL Pro League Season 18 exclusively for Telecomasia.net.
If we talk about the favorites of the EPL, I would name three teams that started the season well: ENCE, G2 Esports and Team Vitality are my favorites to win the tournament. My fourth favorite team would be Heroic. As an interesting side note, it looks like many of the new teams have made it their goal to succeed at ESL Pro League Season 18. It will be interesting to see how far they get. Also, since the EPL will be longer than a regular tournament, they have potential for significant growth over the course of the tournament.

ENCE will begin their journey to EPL Season 18 on September 6 with a match against Evil Geniuses. In Group B, the Finnish team will be fighting alongside Heroic, BIG, Monte, MOUZ, Rooster, MIBR and Evil Geniuses. The winner of Group B advances to the quarterfinals, the runner-up gets a slot in the round of twelve, and the third and fourth places advance to the playoffs from the round of sixteen.
ESL Pro League Season 18 will take place from August 30 through October 1. All matches will be held in LAN format in Malta. The prize fund of the tournament is $850 thousand dollars. 32 teams participate in it.
