If you put these teams(c9, eg and NRG) into the cn region excluding EDG for obvious reason.
How far do they go?
I rate both FPX and Trace above NRG.
FPX had bad recent performances but that’s mainly bc they recently started practicing again, and they only had 1 match so far with yosemite. Autumn also doesn’t look like his usual self and i trust he will play better as he plays more in the offseason
Trace also clear all NRG EG and C9 when kai comes back.
I can also see other teams like Wolves, Nova, XLG, BLG, beating these NRG EG and c9 teams however they won’t be favored
I can see EG sneaking in cuz Potter's an absolute psychopath with the gameplans. The problem is that NOVA and Wolves have really good average mechanics, Wolves have Fayde whipping them into shape and NOVA are literally just PRX (one could argue with better aim) but sloppier. It depends on if they fall off or not tbh
