Sad there's no SEN but this is a nice tourney to see how these underdog-ish teams are doing.
MxS: Looking pretty good in scrims however just like SEN scrims don't mean EVERYTHING. I feel like they're in a spot where if they're all in form and they strategy is good they COULD win but I feel like the other teams have higher potential as of now. (Note: I will personally be rooting for MxS flyuh and BRAWK are my goats)
OXG: This team is looking prime to win Americas Ascension this year. They've been putting up good performances and the team is showing their firepower and potential. Not much else to say Verno is insane everyone in the team is really good.
100T: Obviously I have NO idea how long these guys have been able to practice even if Boostio was stuck in contract jail there is a chance that 100T had him locked in and have been practicing with him but ASSUMING that they haven't had much practice in I actually don't expect much for this team. In my opinion though it could be a situation where if the team chemistry is just good and all the players are shooting straight, they could easily come up with a top 1 or 2 win.
C9: I think this team is probably the most expected to win this tourney they went 2-3 to Fnatic and have been getting in good practice with higher level teams (No offense to any of these teams) which is really good for experience. Oxy looks great however, maybe a bit inconsistent (unsure about this though maybe I'm just blind and Oxy is a god) and everyone on C9 is pretty solid.
I think the results I expect based on everything that I've seen currently is 1st C9, 2nd OXG, 3rd 100T, 4th MxS (My take on who is going to win)
The results I'm personally rooting for however is, C9 vs MxS finals. 3rd 100T, 4th OXG. (My take based on my personal preferences and biases I know bad and probably not going to happen but that's just what I personally want to see
(C9 or OXG winning it all probably but 100T has the firepower and talent to snatch up 1st)
