imo easily the heretics roster
aside from that obvious pick, sayf finally gets his super team plus a coach that meshes with him, theres literally no excuses this time around..
demon1 most likely has loads of pressure
heretics will do well, i refuse to believe they'll just be bad
vitality will either win an international or not make a single one
lev looks like they're dying due to bullshit roles in scrims
my personal pick for most pressure is Paper Rex, because the map pool is PERFECT for them, Tejo coming in means their playstyle is perfect for the meta, they finally learned some normal comps, and their players had an offseason to rest and reset. If they don't win this year, they are going to get blown up, because unless they have some Asuna level grasp on the org, they need a change if they can't win now
Apeks.
They're putting the whole game changers reputation on their back while potentially could be getting removed from Franchising in 1 year if they miss playoffs. If they do lose, Flor will be known for only farming GC, and GC will be regarded even worse. I hope they do well, even if I think they wont.
I feel like the answer will always be EDG, the have the most number of fans and practically represent an entire region by themselves and coming off a champions win if they don't at least place top 4 at master the wave of hate will be unreal.
just look at the hate EDG got during madrid and shanghai. its insane, the pressure on those guys are unreal because since they are the number 1 chinese team. compare that to others teams like for example liquid, all their fans know their mediocre asf so if they qual to an event that would be hype
