Based on current forms and somewhat personal biases-
- Potter (EG): To make top-4 and activating ‘washed’ Yay and Icy
- Kaplan (SEN): Beat G2 through an antistrat masterclass, strengthened Sen’s map pool, exponential growth since Bangkok
- JoshRT (G2): Well its fuckin G2 HC, had they beaten Sen would have been at the top.
- frOd (MIBR): Might be wrong about him, didn’t watch Mibr matches much, purely based on their results
- Immi (C9): If C9 didn’t have choke genes, could’ve had better results with his gameplans. 5th and 6th are interchangeable.
- Atom (KRÜ): Solid grp stage performance, too much readable aggro playstyle, unlucky to face EG who were a perfect counter to Kru.
- Zikz (100T): Wanted to put him below than this due to his pearl defence disasterclass against G2, could’ve easily upset G2 and had moved upto 5th rank. Comps are outdated, can’t put Asuna on a leash, among many other issues. But still deserves props for pushing G2 to the limit.
- Itopata (Lev): Lev is slowly finding comfort comps for its players, Demon1 started showing flashes of his 2023 form. Excited to see them cook in stage 2. Imo deserved the 4th seed but couldn’t show up against NRG.
- Mikes (NRG): Dk whether he has much of a say in a team which has the igl benching the former HC. Lack of success in Haven atk side says it all.
- faithz0r (2G): had few good moments, can be excused for being an ascension team
- stkJ (Loud): so much talent on the team with the likes of Lukxo, dgzin, Tuyz, Pancada still such dogshit results, roles were messed up, couldn’t show up in matches. Roster changes can prove to be good.
- peu (FUR): I mean its clear as daylight right?
