predictions for NA Challengers 2

so the top 4 teams from Challengers 1 (GRD, OpTic, C9, XSET) get invited to the group stage, while the other 8 teams get a bye to the round of 32 in the first open qualifier

100T will be allowed to keep their circuit points and Ro32 bye since Hiko will be on the roster as an official sub, allowing them to maintain 3 players (Asuna, bang, Hiko) from Challengers 1
FaZe will claim Rise's circuit points and Ro32 bye since they will have 3 players from Rise's old roster (Poised, supamen, and Shanks) with Shanks being a sub
the other 6 teams are: V1, LG, SEN, PK, NRG, EG

which, if any, of these 8 teams do you think will be replaced, and by who?

i think EG has by far the highest likelihood to be replaced, likely by either Ghost or TSM (not a fan but I think their roster has potential)
100T, PK, and FaZe could also potentially end up struggling, and I think at least one of them will end up failing to qualify

here are my predictions based on personal opinions, feel free to disagree:
first open quali: NRG and V1 qualify through uppers, 100T and SEN qualify through lowers
second open quali: LG and Ghost qualify through uppers, TSM and FaZe qualify through lowers

let's try to keep this thread respectful!

nah PK looked real strong, LG goes in for that 8th place finish again too (sorry lmao)

Ghost are looking strong with Aproto, this may be a hot take but I think they can make it to top 8 NA

my thought:

from the last 8 spot:

1. V1 will the obvious one
2. Sentinels, NRG, Knight, LG, Ghost Gaming --> contender to qualify, higher chance
3. TSM, Faze, 100T, -> one of them will fall
4. dark horse: Nearest Airport, T1, EG, can upset team 3
