During lock/in / rostermania
-C9 and SEN looked like the best NA teams (on paper)
- Loud would continue its ERA, and dominate every Americas team
-FNATIC NAVI Liquid would also be farming in EMEA
-China would never win in the international stage
-Players like Yay,Ardis, Cryo,Cned would be just fine on Jett
-DRX would farm in pacific league
-6th mans wouldn't be vital to teams
Now
-EG and NRG are NA's best teams, with Kru looking like a top contender
-Loud has actual competition in Americas after a rare bad performance in Tokyo.
-FNATIC Liquid and Fut are the top 3 teams in EMEA with navi looking down in the slumps
-EDG managed to beat DRX,LOUD,Navi
- Several Chamber players had a rough time transitioning to jett and not performing to their previous peaks
-PRX are farming in pacific
-Assistant couches are stepping up and helping there team win games (KC,MIBR), or even in some cases making deep runs with the main roster (CRGS)
