IEM Dallas is all set to be the biggest event and one that is likely to be tricky. While teams are likely to keep most of their playbook away from the eyes of other teams, which might present us with an expected victor. Nonetheless, IEMs are always exciting, and this one has all the ingredients to give us a perfect pot boiler ahead of the Major.
