WePlay takes predictions from talent arriving in Kyiv for the AniMajor
Cap and Kyle
The first people interviewed by WePlay on arrival were Andrew "Cap" Walsh and Kyle "Kyle" Freedman. They both forecasted Alliance as the team to win the Major and Cap even explained that EU was the "strongest region" where Alliance was regarded as the top team. Cap and Kyle both worked in the EU region during the DPC season.
Sheever and Fogged
Jorien "Sheever" van der Heijden and Ioannis “Fogged” Loucas were the next to arrive and share their thoughts in an interview. Sheever was hesitant to give predictions on this Major given how things turned out in the last Major, where EU was heavily favored but did not make it very far. Fogged, on the other hand, confidently stated that "China is going to win, it is the best region right now". Both Sheever and Fogged worked in the EU DPC season.
Teaguvnor
Robson “TeaGuvnor” Merritt arriving solo, jumped on the EU bandwagon and predicted that Team Liquid will take the Major and that “SEA looks a bit underwhelming.” TeaGuvnor was also part of the EU DPC season talent.
Tsunami and Lacoste
China DPC talents Neal “Tsunami” Khandheria and Dominik “Lacoste” Stipik arrived next, both of them seemed pretty excited and stated that China was the strongest region. The analysts predicted two Chinese teams would qualify for the top four in the AniMajor. While Tsunami predicted that Team Aster would win, Lacoste predicted then PSG.LGD would win.
SirActionSlacks
The latest arrival was none other than Jake "SirActionSlacks" Kanner himself, who offered a fresh perspective in saying that we should watch out for South America in the AniMajor, predicting that "BeastCoast will wipe the floor.” Being the entertainer he is, he took a pot shot at Tsunami's predictions regarding China, saying, "Shut up, Tsunami, with your Chinese predictions, it is WRONG! It’s South America, baby!”.
Ephey
Dota 2 streamer Ephey, who is making her debut as a talent in this event also made her predictions by stating that China was most likely going to take the win, but if there was one team that could beat them, it was Alliance.
