Starts off badly, losing 3 qualification matches in a row to miss Santiago. Makes it to London but does badly. After some roster moves, one of which is BABYBAY, makes a generational run at Champs, beating PRX in the grand final on Map 5 22-20.

Side prediction for Champions Shanghai: In strong contrast to Masters London which was criticised for being terrible, this is the best tournament of all time in terms of production, match quality and scale. The opening ceremony during the Grand Finals is unmatched, and the match itself is excellent.
