2025 preds

Internationally

• Both 100t and DRX make a grand final (not necessarily the same one)
• C9 Makes every LAN
• SEN and GEN.G meet again at one event
• G2 don't make a single lan

EMEA

• TH dominates the first half then falls off
• Lulquid continues to be Lulquid (the safest prediction ever)
• Fut will consistently be the 2nd best team in the region, while the #1 spot changes over time between TH, Fnatic, and Vitality
• Navi trash/mid entire year

APAC

• Primmie top 4 rated player every split, #1 at some point
• DRX will never be the top team regionally, but will be the strongest internationally
• PRX will do very poorly at first, then pick it up (opposite of TH prediction)

Americas

• The C9 rebuild will be promising, they will be consistently a top 3 team the entire year
• NRG wins a split
• G2 consistently 4th/5th place team all year

there are so many available duelists better than icy rn

Do you think China will start dominating the international scene or will it continue as usual (usual as in the power balance between regions keep shifting)

Made a whole post about this a while back, but whether they actually switch him out is a tough call (i'd do it in a heartbeat). They may ego it and be like "we did good with him our first year, so we can only get better with time" type of mentality.

a big part of edgs success was the fact that they were able to scrim with teams outside their region and actually found out the holes in their gameplay previously etc along with the roster change

have the other cn teams scrimmed with apac/emea/americas? we don’t know but let’s hope they did

C9 Makes every LAN

that’s the hottest take on your list

G2 don’t make a single LAN

I think they make masters toronto but not champs paris hence missing out on their 1 year extension to franchising

Either DFM or ZETA qualify to 1 masters next year.
