Two Chinese teams on top feels like back in the olden times, and CN winning the whole thing would probably be a good thing for the health of the game to revitalise the region's interest. They've both looked like the two best teams so far. Nigma have been their usual choke factory self, but Navi have played better than their results suggest. Spirit have indeed looked shaky.

Swiss format have definitely been a big success, both days have have had several hype series including multiple 70+ minute bangers.
