ima say DFM TH XLG and LEV

bounceback: Heretics, FUT, PRX, NRG, FPX
underdogs: KC, Nongshim RedForce

Predictions for Toronto:
EMEA: Vitality, Heretics, FUT(Liquid close)
Pacific: DRX, T1, Nongshim RedForce(Gen.G close)
Americas: G2, Sen, NRG(LEV close)
China: EDG, Trace, FPX(Bilibili close)

damn my bad I meant gen.g too many good korean teams

Why are TH or XLG underdogs? they were both pretty good in kickoff and shown good performances in the past

, nrg, 100t, will bounce back

you could say the same thing about T1 then, they got second in Pacific taking DRX to map 5 and were one of the favourites coming into the season

and how are XLG not underdogs they got 5-6th in Pacific and are an Ascension team

T1 were underdogs in bangkok because they had to beat teams that clearly looked better than them, all the first seeds looked better than the second seeds and DRX looked like the weakest first seed by far, t1 themselves played poorly until that game against trace, thats why they were underdogs.

TH are last years grandfinalists and came 3rd in kickoff, they should not be underdogs, they should be active contenders for spot in toronto alongside BBL and FUT for that third spot.
XLG played incredibly well in chinese kickoff, almost beating EDG before they had awoken as a team. XLG, BLG and Nova should be the biggest teams in contention for that third spot alongside
