Chances and Goals at PGL Astana 2025
In an interview before the tournament, ztr mentioned that the team remains confident in their abilities and considers themselves contenders for reaching the playoffs.

I think we haven't really talked about our goals, but I would say for me individually, I think definitely we can make play offs. Of course nothing is going to come for free and we still need to perform to get there. And then when we if we reach the play offs, I think anything can happen because, yeah, the top three teams are missing in this tournament.

Yeah, I think the Spirit is the clear number one in this tournament. And then I think everything, everything below that is pretty much, yeah, around the same level or if not lower level.
