G2 - famouz org with famouz streamer
M80 - very very good player, winner contender
The Guard - sensational team & very very good player, winner contender
SR - strong team from 2022, winner contender
TSM - Team SoloMid
Faze - ?
G2 - ratzam and fapr
M80 - they have NiSMO they're winning Ascension
Guard - tex big downgrade from saya
SR - decent team, need better coach (they've had insane players for over a year but haven't gotten anywhere so it's the only logical conclusion i see)
TSM - decent team, need time
FaZe - easily top 5 in NA
koromast [#4]if we are realistic m80, sr, faze, grd are the only big contenders the rest are looking if they can reach top 3 because these choke or eliminate each other early and even then the best players of their teams might get picked up for 2024.
bro sneak faze like we won't notice, nt

faze is definitely an ascension contender
babybay is good and idt dicey will just fall off bc of the chamber nerf
moatz [#6]NA Challenger are very stack
As a longtime eu fan, wish I could say the same abt my region :(
problem is, EMEA org still focus more on CSGO than val, even though they keep losing in qualifier

Yea that might be it
Hopefully my region will be as good as na within the next couple of years :)
spookmeister [#3]im pretty sure faze are keeping dicey, babybay but not sure who else
They are keeping everybody except Flyuh. Im not sure who is replacing him tho
ItsMeDio [#12]if tex can perform minimum like saya last year, The Guard clears all of them
i want everyone to keep in mind that the guard still got 2nd at LCQ with a 190 acs avg Saya in an unfavorable meta. just imagine them in this upcoming meta which will favor them in multiple ways: kj back means neT will be able to farm on his main, breeze gone means their old permaban is gone, split back means one of their old good maps is back, etc.
