IEM Chengdu 2024 Favorites
The top spot in the IEM Chengdu 2024 power rankings seems poised for FaZe Clan. With consistent Grand Final appearances and a strong lineup, they are the team to beat. While recent victories have been elusive, the competition’s inconsistency places FaZe Clan as clear favorites to win.
Another team to keep an eye on is MOUZ. Though they haven’t secured a title since adding Brollan to their roster, his individual performance has been impressive. With the pressure of bigger tournaments behind them, IEM Chengdu 2024 could be their chance to shine.
Lastly, Heroic has displayed flashes of brilliance recently. While consistency has held them back, more time together as a team could see them overcome their struggles. With a less daunting field, IEM Chengdu 2024 presents an ideal opportunity for Heroic to claim victory.

- FaZe Clan

IEM Chengdu 2024 Underdogs
At IEM Chengdu 2024, there is a noticeable gap in team quality, particularly in the lower half of our power rankings. Nonetheless, a couple of underdog teams caught our attention leading up to the tournament.
First up is Astralis. After a disappointing performance at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 RMR, Astralis made significant changes to their lineup. The revised roster, if successful, could elevate the team to unexpected heights. We are intrigued to see if Astralis can surprise us with an underdog run at IEM Chengdu 2024.

Additionally, FlyQuest stands out as another underdog. With a stable roster and strong leadership from dexter as IGL, there is potential for this team to rebound from past setbacks. IEM Chengdu 2024 offers an opportunity for FlyQuest to showcase their capabilities and bounce back with a standout performance.
