#First Family vs White Water - Fight for Pride
With all the major match-ups taken care of, the group stages are almost over. Admittedly, First Family vs White Water is likely to be the weakest series of the entire tournament. First Family was unimpressive in their match against L5, with several misplays and lack of clear focus. White Water showed some interesting drafts such as Medivh or Gul'dan in their match against MVP Black, but they failed to be anything beyond just a gimmick. However, because neither team is likely to stand a chance against L5 after they advance, this will be their prime moment to be on the spotlight and show their worth.
Based on the quality of their plays and experience, First Family should take the series with ease, but we can certainly expect some quirky drafts from White Water once again. Medivh, Gul'dan or even Cho'Gall are all quite possible, and who knows? Maybe we might see a surprise Nova too. Anything seems possible in this season of Super League :P

- A team founded by Caster King, an ex-BW pro and a prominent Heroes caster. Used to have a strong presence in the scene during Beta period. The team has been revived this season.
- While ZZANGMAN, JaeHyun, and DDuDDu are strong players, it might be difficult for the team to advance out of the group against the powers of L5 and MVP Black.
White Water - Team MEDIVH!!!!!
- Members: 나상, Sans, DragonNight, 너도나도밤나무, H82
- New, unknown players that came out of the qualifiers through the wild card stage.
- Showed strong preference for Medivh in the qualifiers as they picked the hero in 5 out of the 10 games, only losing once with him against MVP Miracle.
- Tend to use Medivh paired with a main support such as BrightWing or Uther.
- In their final game of the qualifier against Nepartak, they pulled a miraculous comeback in Sky Temple thanks to a ₩10 Million Mosh Pit that won them Super League ticket.
- "White Water" is a Korean pun for "Unemployed" T_T
