Who are the favorites?
We just have to start with hometown heroes Amsterdam (NED), who boast three Olympic gold medalists ready to bring the house down.
The Dutch Masters will be riding crowd support, but this is an absolutely stacked draw filled with four other title winners on this season's World Tour.

Ub Huishan NE (SRB) will be more determined than ever after a heart-breaking swing in China, while previous champs Paris (FRA), Riffa (BRN) and Raudondvaris Hoptrans (LTU) are stacked with talent.
And then there are plenty of desperate teams hungry for a dub. Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy (MGL) aren't far away and they'll need Dulguun Enkhbat to unleash two-way mastery to break their drought.
Chongming (CHN) boast legendary Latvian duo Karlis Lasmanis and Nauris Miezis, while Utrecht (NED) will have strong fan support and boast crowd pleasers Dimeo van der Horst and Nesta Agasi.

Who are the players to watch?
There is much anticipation over the latest battle for the crown between the two best players in the world - Strahinja Stojacic and Worthy de Jong.
You won't be able to take your eyes off them as they trade highlights and so too French maestro Franck Seguela who is hot on their heels.

Riffa won't have two-way monster Dennis Donkor, but Thibaut Vervoort is ready to shoulder the scoring burden and become 'Must See TV'.
Raudondvaris Hoptrans are always a title threat because they have lethal Lithuanians Aurelijus Pukelis and Evaldas Dziaugys, who can trade buckets with anybody.
And if Amsterdam experiences an out of season heatwave then that's because Stefan Kojic has sizzled from deep.
