Sentinels (if things go wrong they can just replace the worst player with redux)
NRG: ( IF Mada plays well and Verno lives up to his hype this team has higher ceiling than G2 IMO)
G2: Jawgemo fits well + other 4 players deliver the same or higher form than 2024
Lev: This is dependent on how well NatanK and Demon1 do (especially Demon1) King is very good and Tex is usually decent as well. This team could be very very good if Demon1 is in good form.
100t: Very good core hoping for the same stuff pretty much, Cryo owning on Jett maps while Asuna is decent on raze maps, and for Zander to either match or surpass Bang will be the main thing the team would be striving towards.

Now for 6th and below I could genuinely argue for any of these next couple of teams:
KRU: Keznit , Shy and Mazino are very good and Adverso is decent but I’m still not convinced with Mta and would have preferred Melser or even Nzr
EG: There is a world where this team could be crazy if Potter can enable Yay (especially with incoming chamber buffs) and if Sym can be consistently good there is serious potential for them, as long as Supamen also continues his fairly strong performances and Derek finding more consistency.
Mibr: Aspas + Nzr is a good combo and maybe if they can get Qck + Melser maybe???? They could have some alright support around Aspas.
Loud: I still think Cauanzin, Pancada, and Tuyz are fairly good shooters as well as Dgzin whose returning to T1 does give me hope but for Loud to REALLY be good imo they need to get Sato and Lukxo when their 18 for the regular season.
C9: League stage merchants , I personally don’t like Xeppa and Moose staying on the team, Definitely more firepower than Last year’s C9 but they seem like a bunch of friends just trolling like it’s a ranked game.
Furia : they just don’t have Aura right now. Mw is alright, Havoc when he’s not brain dead is the goat, Heat is very good, Khalil needs to have more decent games instead of showing a Peak Aspas level gameplay for one map and disappearing for the rest of the league stage.
2GE: I legit don’t know anyone like they could be good or bad
