These are the teams on which a true betting man bases his skill. These are the teams that are itching for a break-through and are not expected beforehand to make it all the way, yet possess the potential to do it. These are the teams who will need to have improved a lot by the last events to be included in the next event's favourite list.

Firslty in this preview I have written a small preview about who I think will place 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively and who has a chance to challenge for first place.

Secondly I have purposely left NetherlandsAcsi-eSports dNan out due to having no info what so ever about how they are performing, I have decided to exclude them from my preview, as I don't have enough detail to judge their performances, and would not want to write about a team that I am not familiar with, although just by looking at the lineup I expect them to take at least 5th place.

Thirdly I'd like to thank BelgiumRhand as his article about all the Crossfire LANs has been a great statistical and information background.

Fourthly I hope you like it as there is plenty more to come from the AEF coverage crew when AEF itself gets started!

Last but not least, good luck to all teams and most importantly, have a 'massive' time!
