Azure Ray

Azure Ray has a squad of talented players with the potential to give the big guns a run for their money but they looked very sloppy in the group stages. Securing the number 3 spot in group B, just like their opponent Entity, Azure Ray also had a disappointing day 2 at the group stages. Now they look hungry to bounce back and find their rhythm.
