Predictions
Heading into this first Stage of competition, Vanguard is only just beginning. Although we enjoyed the first taste of the Kickoff Classic, the game is still young and we’re not sure who’s on top.
Yet, for those unaware, here are the standings for the Kickoff Classic 2022:
- #1st – Toronto Ultra
- #2nd – Seattle Surge
- #3-4th – Los Angeles Thieves, New York Subliners
However, considering the pre-season event, perhaps teams weren’t prepared. Considering this, there’s likely more than meets the eye for most of the teams.
We can’t wait to see the competition unfold!
