Demon1 summoned to Champions Paris
Earlier than anybody knew about Demon1 becoming a member of DRG as a stand-in, Group D was already stacked to the brim with expertise, a lot in order that we dubbed it the “Group of Demise” of Champions Paris.
Group D boasts G2 Esports, the #1 seed in America, alongside Esports World Cup winners Group Heretics because the #4 seed from EMEA, Masters Bangkok champions T1 because the #3 seed from Pacific, and DRG.
The lineup of groups in Group D is so robust that it wouldn’t be stunning to see any of them go all the way in which in Paris.
The American famous person may very well be the X-factor DRG must emerge from the group unscathed.
On the flipside, Ilya “vo0kashu” Ushakov’s absence might give their opponents a gap to take advantage of. In spite of everything, one has to think about that DRG has had little time to follow with Demon1.
Coincidentally, Demon1 celebrated his twenty third birthday simply in the future after the DRG announcement. Doesn’t that simply give off major character vitality?
