That WBG Ascent game against BLG was stunning, in my opinion. While the result didn't go WBG's way, I genuinely feel like there were so many "oh shit" moments that at one point I actually doubted BLG's ability to win. However, I acknowledge the fact that WBG lost to RA last time they butted heads, and that this will not be an easy match to win. But at the same time, statistically speaking, rematches are usually easier to play, so I think WBG might have a better chance of winning this time around. RA's skills is not to be understated though, even if they lost in dramatic fashion to FPX... MarT1n and stew are both highly intelligent players that aren't to be underestimated in my opinion. I'm going to predict a 2-1 WBG victory purely based off of the form I witnessed from both teams in their lastest matches.
The partnership league only allows 1 import. WBG is well funded org with good financial and they have been in Chinese VAL since the underground days. They are very likely to make it, so Maple or pl1xxRA will have to be benched next year. They begin to prep for next year.
RA is a medium size LPL org(still well funded compare to likes of Tyloo) and they have not been in Val for long. They may or may not make it to the partnership, if they don't make it they will have to compete in the Chinese Ascension tournament which allow 2 import.
