EMEA has been literal beasts in the pro scene. NA has OPTIC, I don't see XSET doing well (It will be like TGUARD). APAC has PRX and now BOOM Esports who we havent seen in any international event before.
Optic was very much out of sync and they've all said they were very burnt out before copenhagen even happened. I imagine they'll come back with rejuvenated strats and team chemistry for champs. Doesn't mean they'll win but they did place 3rd in Denmark at what I'd say was around 80% of their peak form.
The safe answer is emea but optic and prx both have a legitimate shot and boom could either flop or go nuts, i think drx will continue to take scalps but still not win anything, damwon, should they qualify, are dark horses for a deep run imo. I dont see brazil doing much but Kru is definately dangerous. Imo Prx take it home though
