- FUT get a good upgrade with Xeus, they will make top 5 no doubt.
- Heretics trying experimental things in the tournament so it will be good to see what is working or crashing. Also Neon nerf will be good for them because they don't prefer to play Neon.
- Sayo looks great for Fnatic but Kaajak can struggle in the season. So Fnatic get a downgrade after Derke kicked. They will still make top 4 but I don't expect them to have good results.
- KC has a good structure with Avez, Elite, Suygetsu (they are definitely upgrade). Saadhak will do good jobs but I cannot trust marteen. Probably KC will crash on the way because of marteen.
- Vitality not planning to play any off season tournaments. This is definitely a big problem because 1 official = 100 scrim to see the mistakes.
- Same thing valid for KOI, Apeks. No official leads you to have bad result.
- We'll see what TL and GX is gonna do in Intel X Monsters Reloaded tournament
- BBL is BBL.
For example, Heretics destroying everyone in scrim but they almost lost to Focus because official is a very, very different thing from scrim. They also got slapped down by Redbull 2023 and fixed what was wrong before the season started. If a team can't find a way/solution to play official in the offseason, that team doesn't want to win anything in the season.
