Champs will be hype af

Honestly excited for champs.. many teams have resurged and started playing better.
Current state:

Americas:

SEN (As expected, they are dominating again)
LEV (they look stronger after fixing their issues... will see their playoffs form tho)
G2 still strong too (imagine they had actual star duelist.)
note: all roughly same level tbh..but I give edge to SEN then LEV for aspas factor, and G2 last.

EMEA:

TH (still the best in region. lost only some maps, no series lost.)
FNC (surprised honestly that they looking back in form after leo substituted with hiro. Chronicle and Derke stepping up their game )
VIT (Any Sayf believers?)
FUT (looking good in EMEA, but no faith in international)

APAC:

GenG (still looking insane.. lost one series against TS tho But today 2-0'd PRX comfortably.)
DRX (look even better after stax removal... but can they beat GenG in playoffs final?)
PRX (I have no hope in PRX btw. no faith in them winning it.)

note: Added FUT, also why CN region has 3-4 slots tho.. 2 enough.

oxy plays like that because thats how he needs to play for c9 to win games lets not act like he wouldnt upgrade over 50% of teams in tier 1

ngl TH looks shaky and FUT stronger than ever

I'd say FUT is the biggest contestant for EMEA, SO WHERE TF IS FUT BROSKI

brotha i fw cned but this teams macro is not it they really on their aim to outduel everyone which works in emea cuz they can farm all the shitters but they arent a international powerhouse i agree TH looked shaky in the regular season but i think they are pulling a GenG where they take it easy until the event.

that too they have the prx mental and yes i agree the macro isnt bad its just not their strong suit at all and we havent seen a non macro based team win an event since the first reykjavik

vit have a auto win map in icebox it looks sooo good but their map pool is utter shit they really need to improve it if they wanna win against great teams but i believe sayf is the best player in the game he might be able to carry the team to champs

g2 very strong when they don’t have to rely on slow startups. they always bring it back but i fear that teams like geng or maybe even sen too will stop their momentum

A lot of teams that were looking shaky in either stage 1 or Shanghai look in form right now, I think a lot of teams are peaking at the right time this year. I could see a lot of different possibilities for what the top 6 teams at Champs will be.

Vita and Navi need to be in top 3 or they are fucked cause KC, FNC, FUT have more points.
