No china since they are unpredictable
Americas
Sen (will end top 2, will struggle a bit early on because of less prep than others but will still easily qual for madrid, can only see them being beat by NRG)
NRG (demon1 will show everyone why he won champs and NRG will easily qual taking the top 2 spot-only compitision is with sen)
Loud (will struggle alot because they are unable to scrim rn and their comps look weak-I have enough faith in Saadhak less and cauanzin that they will make playoffs, but idk about shanghai)
Lev (Aspas and c0m will carry enough to go to playoffs, but they dont have the strats to qual to shanghai)
100T (boostio can cook some upsets but they can easily be upset with inconsistent players like asuna bang and cryo)
EG (massive upset potential, I belive in Potter and Dawgemo to qual for playoffs, and can see a world where they upset to make it to shanghai)
MIBR (upset potntial, but dont have the players to make it farther than playoffs)
Kru (less than MIBR but still upset potential)
G2 (depnding on who they get they could qual for playoffs but dont see a world where they make it to shanghai)
Furia (adding nzr is a great move but they still have konan so they probably can only get 1 or 2 wins- and even that is unlikely)
Clown9 (even with new additions they still have immi and oxy wont be able to carry- winnless team)
EMEA
FNC (will come back to their prime with new strats, ez 1st place)
Navi (same as Fnc, ez 2nd place)
KC (easily makes playoffs, the new players get better and better, high chance of making shanghai)
Vitality (will get far in playoffs but I dont think theyll qual as their duelist will get no diffed by other teams-if they put sayf on duelist they qual)
TH (will make playoffs, but wont make it far with constantly changing new roster)
M8s (can maybe get 1 win)
TL (0-1 win)
BBl (0-1 win)
FUT (will make playoffs but not shanghai)
Giants (cut their second best player, redgar will throw and cloud will win them one game, 1-2 wins)
Koi (will win games against anyone worse than them (which is only like 2 teams at most))
APAC
GenG (will qual without dropping a seres)
PRX (ez qual, will look a lot better with Monyay)
T1 (will qual but has the chance to be upset)
DRX (if they cut buzz I am done with this team-will make playoffs because every other team is shit)
RRQ (high upset potential, but very inconsestent, will most likely make plauoffs)
TS (will make playoffs but wont get far)
GE (0 wins)
DFM (0 wins)
Zeta (will win maybe 1 game)
Talon (has the chance to make playoffs but will lose immedatly)
Bleed (has the chance to be very good but most likely will be mid af)
