The ETCC 2023 started today in Budva, Montenegro. It's a 9 round Swiss team event with some 36 federations taking part. Top seeds are Azerbaijan for the Open section and Georgia for the Women's section. Results and pairings can be found here (Open) and here (Women).

Seeing how this community isn't super active, maybe we can use this as a megathread for the event. Who are your favourite teams and players? Who do you predict will win?

Let's see if Offerspill can repeat their great result from earlier this year

There's no Offerspill here. This championship only features national federations, so Carlsen is playing for the Norwegian team together with other Norwegian players. And they're very unlikely to win after one draw and one loss in the first two rounds.

Aha, I see. They would have to bring out Hammer and Agdestein for an ever stronger team. Allthough Tari and Elham(?) are very strong
