GAMBIT, SENTINELS, VIVO KEYD, ENVY and ACEND
gambit(cuz they won berlin)
liquid(dominated lcq)
envy(came 2nd)
VS(the hardest team gambit fought, i think gmb choked vs 100t)
acend(close game against 100t, they have a lot of potential)
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: 100t(wouldve put them in list if steel didnt leave), SEN(they might improve)
TEAMS WHO WOULD GIVE A REALLY GOOD FIGHT: kru(they seem to be improving every tourney), keyd stars(with the roster change i believe they could go really far), FS(they got better in every match in lcq), fnatic(might improve)
1) Gambit- Best team in the world, won convincingly at Berlin. Does have a disadvantage when it comes being studied by other teams but I believe that Gambit wont be outdated like Sentinels was at Berlin and make some changes to stay ahead of the opponents.
2) Envy- Hardest position to decide but had to settle with NV, very convincing showing at Berlin and a lot of people will say they overperformed at Berlin but they didnt lose a single map till the grand finals and Yay might only get better from now. Also looking like a pretty strong LAN team
3) Vision Strikers- Played well at Berlin but lost to eventual winners, their bind does look pretty weak but I think they should either give Lakia more maps or just bench him, there is no point in giving a guy just 1 map only ruins team synergy and chemistry
4) SentinLs- Still a pretty strong team, can make changes in their comps now to do well in Berlin. Also I think they will work harder than they did last time.
5) Team Liquid- Won LCQ without losing a single game, look pretty strong in my opinion and Nivera only gets better from here, also their previous LAN experience should help them, placing them any higher would be a Liquid bias so I think 5th is good enough for now
