Pred for every team

No china since they are unpredictable

Americas
Sen (will end top 2, will struggle a bit early on because of less prep than others but will still easily qual for madrid, can only see them being beat by NRG)
NRG (demon1 will show everyone why he won champs and NRG will easily qual taking the top 2 spot-only compitision is with sen)
Loud (will struggle alot because they are unable to scrim rn and their comps look weak-I have enough faith in Saadhak less and cauanzin that they will make playoffs, but idk about shanghai)
Lev (Aspas and c0m will carry enough to go to playoffs, but they dont have the strats to qual to shanghai)
100T (boostio can cook some upsets but they can easily be upset with inconsistent players like asuna bang and cryo)
EG (massive upset potential, I belive in Potter and Dawgemo to qual for playoffs, and can see a world where they upset to make it to shanghai)
MIBR (upset potntial, but dont have the players to make it farther than playoffs)
Kru (less than MIBR but still upset potential)
G2 (depnding on who they get they could qual for playoffs but dont see a world where they make it to shanghai)
Furia (adding nzr is a great move but they still have konan so they probably can only get 1 or 2 wins- and even that is unlikely)
Clown9 (even with new additions they still have immi and oxy wont be able to carry- winnless team)

EMEA
FNC (will come back to their prime with new strats, ez 1st place)
Navi (same as Fnc, ez 2nd place)
KC (easily makes playoffs, the new players get better and better, high chance of making shanghai)
Vitality (will get far in playoffs but I dont think theyll qual as their duelist will get no diffed by other teams-if they put sayf on duelist they qual)
TH (will make playoffs, but wont make it far with constantly changing new roster)
M8s (can maybe get 1 win)
TL (0-1 win)
BBl (0-1 win)
FUT (will make playoffs but not shanghai)
Giants (cut their second best player, redgar will throw and cloud will win them one game, 1-2 wins)
Koi (will win games against anyone worse than them (which is only like 2 teams at most))

APAC
GenG (will qual without dropping a seres)
PRX (ez qual, will look a lot better with Monyay)
T1 (will qual but has the chance to be upset)
DRX (if they cut buzz I am done with this team-will make playoffs because every other team is shit)
RRQ (high upset potential, but very inconsestent, will most likely make plauoffs)
TS (will make playoffs but wont get far)
GE (0 wins)
DFM (0 wins)
Zeta (will win maybe 1 game)
Talon (has the chance to make playoffs but will lose immedatly)
Bleed (has the chance to be very good but most likely will be mid af)

runneR is a great duelist and I have no doubt that he'll improve quickly as a rookie player. Like- come on, it's his first year competing, give him some leeway.

buddy isnt even the best duelist on his team, imo if im the coach and sayf tells me he wants to play inatator I laugh in his face because no way are you replacing the best emea duelist from last year with some t2 kid

Stop this NRG copium

Of course he isn't the best duelist on his team, but holding him to the standard of SAYF, who is arguably one of the best duelists in the world with much more experience is laughable, they're clearly building for long term goals which is imperative for the development of the scene as a whole.

And if Sayf doesn't want to play duelist, then don't make him play duelist, he can still get significant value on other roles.

FNC (will come back to their prime with new strats, ez 1st place)

nah, they'll farm EMEA as usual cos its a dead region

believing fnc and navi will stop be top 1 and 2 is cope, kc th and vit with trexx all have significantly higher ceilings and will probably be top 3, with fnc coming in 4th and navi coming in last

bro tried ot sneak vitality in skull emoji x7. KC I can see but Navi and FNC will be hungry for a win since they missed madrid and they have higher caliber of players, which is why I have more faith in them. TH on the other hand will be running 6 man roster with miniboo coming in and out so I think that will make them worse

vit with trexx instead of destrian is absolutely huge, navi on the other hand fell flat last year with cned, and even with ardiis this year i don't think they're going anywhere with ange1
i guess i can see fnc being top 3 at least, and i think its just an unfortunate circumstance for th having to play with miniboo constantly in and out

N0VI second 💀
