- DRX (no explanation needed)
- Talon (solid team with good chemistry and cracked aimers and decent experience in international stages)
- GenG (cracked team with lots of potential and similar playstyle to drx which can work super well against most sea teams in the league)
- Prx (no longer the kings of apac like they once were but are still a dangerous force to be reckoned with, if forsaken and jingg are feeling it then its GG for the enemy team plus benkuy and mindfreak got some insane clutch skills)
- Ge/Secret (both teams are kind of equal right now in my opinion, Ge needs to put a leash on skrossi with his overheating issues and he is also clearly not adapted to his roles yet but if they fix that then its a very solid team with strong fundamentals, Secret have also been looking great after adding warbirds as their coach and I hope dubstep reclaims his form in his new role so that secret can show their full potential)
- The other team from Ge/Secret
- RRQ (a lot of people clown on them but its a very cracked roster mechanically , they just need to work on their teamplay and strats)
- Zeta (y'all really gotta stop overrating them for one fluke masters run come on but if they replace crow and get a proper igl then I can see them going up a few ranks)
- T1 (a very odd roster but it has potential for upsets yes, lets see how well carpe can transition to a new game)
- DFM (just trash af right now but maybe if they replace seoldam and some of those japanese players with players from CR/Scarz they got a chance but that move seems highly unlikely)
