2023 lock in TLN was the strongest. They beat eg and almost beat drx for their spot in the semi. They fell of when patiphan came back and garnets went back to being a sub and they tried six man roster. basically patiphan was reason behind last years downfall.
Now, we have a mid af TLN which farms teams like GE, BLD, DFM. Competition in apac last year was definitely better.
