team liquid - nottingham forest, what in the reykjavik zeta is this, just like nottingham, team liquid have been the surprise dark horses this year. i guarantee not even some liquid fans could have dreamed of this
team vitality - real madrid, oh my days what a superteam, this really fits after mbappe scored a prime ronaldo hattrick against city, honestly both of them are contenders for masters and ucl
EDG - lakers, kangkang is literally the valorant LeGoat, we can pretend s1mon is luka but that just doesnt fit, both are really great teams with a star player
trace - PSV/club brugge/feyenoord, had to beat a favourite to get to where they are but unfornately they are kinda buns, prolly gonna be 8th icl
G2 - liverpool, i know liverpool didnt make a single signing, but can we pretend that this season's salah is jawg cuz this guy is a man reborn, looking like prime prime contenders for the trophy
SEN - mavs, they lost tenz, who was lowkey their luka, got bang(AD) in exchange, i know bang is good but it just really isnt the same, at least they still got their kyrie (johnqt) tho
DRX - barca, bringing in the young guns and look at how it paid off, hyummin is yamal and freeing is pau cubarsi, does drx have a la masia type academy??
T1 - nuggets, jokic is buzz and ill stand on it, murray is izu/carpe depending on the day
dishonourable mention: PRX - arsenal, doesnt need elaboration
