When looking at the lineup of teams at the ESL Impact Season 4 Global Finals, it’s hard not to see Nigma Galaxy Fe as huge favorites. They have won every single iteration of the tournament so far, with stars such as ANa and vilga leading the charge. In truth, it’s hard to look beyond them as the eventual winners.

So, who are the main competitors? If any team can do it, it’s NAVI Javelins. In recent times, the Polish roster have been a close second to Nigma Galaxy Fe, and it’s only a matter of time before they manage a big win over their rivals. Here, watch out for vicu, who has consistently been putting up some crazy numbers across 2025. Angelka has also been particularly dominant this year, giving NAVI Javelins hope for victory in Valencia.

Our final main favorite for this CS2 tournament is FlyQuest RED. This roster has been steadily improving for a while now, previously playing together as CLG Red. Legendary IGL GooseBreeder continues to impress on the server, but it will be BiBiAhn that will make the difference if they’re to go the distance in Valencia. The Aussie rifler has been putting up incredible numbers in 2025, and if she can come up clutch, FlyQuest RED are in with a great shot at the title.
