apac split 2 finish pred

ranking where i think the teams will place not necessarily how good they will be this split (did this before we saw any games just didnt post it)

1. RRQ

   a bit of hopium i cant lie but the monyet addition i think is a good change as long as it doesnt hurt their macro too much the skill celling is defiantly increased and a underperforming PRX and GenG (who they already beat granted they werent in shanghai form) they get to study i think this team could do real damage

2. GenG

   Great team won shanghai i was hyping this team up even before they were deep in kickoff and i honestly thought they should have won madrid it was their game to lose and they choked bind away but good to see them bounce back i dont think they will be as dominant come champs but leading up i dont see their form wavering too much

3. TLN

   they have showed great macro which a lot of apac teams lack and have improved drastically from their first game i think this team will only get better with time and the new patch i believe will help them a lot

4. PRX

   massively underperformed to everyones expectations in shanghai and the new patch i think will hurt them a lot at first but they will still qualify by points and will be competitive for champs i just dont think they will have a great split

5. DRX

   this team similar to rrq decided to prioritize micro over macro and drop their igl so i think firepower wise they will be great but the inexperience of the team and the lack of a central voice will lead to them falling short of champs

6. T1

   i think the stax addition is good but i cant rank this team any higher because of how inconsistent their comps are, the new player change will probably effect their macro drastically, and they have a piss poor record they might not even make playoffs so its hard to say i believe they will but im not confident about it

PLAYOFF TEAMS

7. GE

   i see sparks of greatness with this team but there seems to be clear issues with the consistency of macro and fragging i hope benkai being the primary igl is the fix to these issues and i could see them being competitive but i dont see a world where they make playoffs

8. TS

   i thought they looked decent in split 1 i mean they beat prx but they seem to always fall short when it matters and just exist as a gatekeeper team and removing warbirds mid season might be the stupidest decision i have seen this year hopefully the new players are good but i dont have high hopes for this team

9. DFM

   i might be the only person who thinks dfm isnt total shit i see good calls here and there plus meiy is a beast but they just get guy diffed to the max and its hard to win when thats happening

10. BLEED

    bl00d + crazyguy addition does not inspire much confidence they might be as good as they were in ascension if their lucky

11. ZETA

    these guys are utter dogshit who people only rate from past accomplishments they havent been good for years now and lack fundamental understanding of some maps im so low on this team i dont think i could be lower on a team

As a TS fan, i agree with the ranking

2023 TS is better than whatever the fuck this is

thx for the yap sesh big bro

allat

Zeta are better than BLEED, DFM, and GE. They are just really inconsistent as a team, and have 2 extremely bad maps

edit. Also, t1 is 2-5 rn. If they lose another game they are guaranteed out of playoffs

whereas TS is 5-3 rn.
To be fair, they have both T1 and Gen G to play. However, TS is a more than capable of beating t1

Also map differential and round diff heavily favors TS

I don’t understand your point with DRX. They dropped stax bc his micro was bad. Isn’t getting rid of the weak point a good thing.

RRQ placing first?

whatever ur on bro pass me that shit

RRQ on top yknow it m8 😎😎

Elaborate on RRQ placing first?

W ZETA hater.
