Barring any roster changes; Optic, C9 and The Guard will be the perennial top 3 for the upcoming Masters 2 and Champs. V1 and LG are much better than 100T and will probably round out the top 5. It will be 100T, SEN ans Xset fighting for 6th.
TheHardStuckImmortal [#3]my brother in christ, they havent even played a match yet.
Experience matters and The Guard will just get even better same with the rest. New team take time to get good. The Guard despite being rookies did so well because they grinded everyday. Doubt 100T could replicate any of that with Asuna also streaming.

What a roast. Same is the case for you buddy.
the NA scene has fallen off rapidly, it can truly be anyone’s game outside the top 5 (OpTic, Guard, C9, XSET, V1).
rise disbanded, eg is bad, nrg is bad, 100T has a new roster. SEN falling off, Knights seems flukey, LG seems flukey (losing to TSM in a Bo3 is embarassing).
so i’d say there are 7 spots open for a 12-team group stage. BUT, who else can realistically qualify? Akrew, Ghost, TSM, SQ, GenG, FaZe all had major roster changes. Teams like Complexity, T1, and NYFU are constant in Tier 2 and could maybe qualify.
the hierarchy from 2021 and even 2022 stage 1 is gone, it’ll be new (and exciting, ig). i personally expect Nearest Airport to make it to the group stage from qualifiers, other than that idrc.
Open Qual 1: SEN, V1, NRG, LG
Open Qual 2: Ghost, Complexity, NA, T1

T1 seems to be so disappointing after the whole help sewers thing happened. they keep losing to teams they should easily beat. I would put FaZe in instead of T1

Yeah FaZe could easily qualify too. Those last spots are up for grabs, Knights could easily make it in again too. Maybe GenG, Darkzero, etc. But I definitely do not see TSM making it in.

"This player likes to stream, therefore he's not practicing enough or putting in the effort." The guard players stream and they made it to masters
