Tier 1 Favourites - Most likely to win ot get to final
fnatic: Dont think I need to explain this
Loud: Dont think I need to explain this
Tier 2: Contenders - Could still win the tournament, but need to step it up
NaVi: If they can make Shao the best player in the world again (by putting him on initiator) and Zyppen or CNed find their old god form again they could absolutetly win
NRG: If everyone keeps up their form and Ardis gets into 2022 form they could absolutely win this
PRX: If Jing gets into copenhagen form and the rest keeps it up (especially Davai) they could repeat copenhagen
Tier 3: Cindarella Run Potential - Unlikely to reach even semis, but if they find their form again, then maybe yes
DRX: Struggling rn hard, Foxy9 isnt on Ardis/Aspas/Derke/CNed level, but Buzz and Rb are even worse on Jett, but it seems they really want Zest to IGL. If they can maybe find a way to have both Foxy and Zest in starting roster and make it work, they could reach semis maybe
Liquid: If soulcas and nats keep their current formand Sayf really turns out to be a Top3 duelists, they could be very dangerous and even reach semis
Tier 4: Upsetters - Could knock out a team of above tier, but unlikely to do so twice
FUT: They look really strong and if they play like in playoffs, maybe with fresh gameplans or unexpected comps even more so
Tier 5: Bottom Feeders - wont beat anyone other then the teams in the same tier
EDG: Didnt prove anything yet on international stage
other chinese team: Same as EDG
EG: Without Demon1 it aint it
T1: Upsetting DRX rn, but its more so DRX looking weak
If you disagree, you dont know this game well
