Sen famously choked their match against EG but I contribute that mostly to burnout. They’re proven to win international LANs and beat both PRX and GenG at Madrid. Give them time to recover and they should be Playoff ready for Champs.
DRX had a great record in Pacific but they just benched their igl and I’m uncertain about how their roster would look internationally despite how consistently they place regionally.
It’s power levels extrapolated from regional and international records. All of the Americas teams from 3rd - 8th were competitive during stage 1 and could easily have placed as well as LEV at Shanghai. By contrast EMEA and Pacific are intra-regionally very top heavy.
Teams to consider in Pacific are T1, DRX, TS and Talon. DRX was the most dominant in stage 1 but lost to PRX and GenG in playoffs (unlucky). The others are too inconsistent for me to accurately rank.
In EMEA, only NAVI and KC have a case from which the former was eliminated by peak TH in playoffs despite looking dominant all of stage 1. KC has a severe adaptability issue that would result in them being slapped around internationally once their non-standard comps have some footage out there.
China only has FPX who nearly beat both GenG and TH in BO3s. I have no faith in EDG.
100T just passes the eye test. They look as coordinated and disciplined as peak EG during their champs run and have the firepower to abuse the advantages they force. Their match against GenG should be a banger but they’re currently the tournament favorites.
FUT got 7 rounds total in that series and G2 just beat PRX. It’s not unreasonable to move 100T from top 2 to tournament favorites after that.
