Personally I see one of 4 teams having a decent chance of winning Champs unless a different team comes into some sort of insane form.
My top 4 (In no particular order)
GenG
FNC
G2
LEV
Pretty cool how they're all in different groups tbh.
Yall are gonna ask about TH, but seriously they DO NOT look like they can hold a candle to GenG. Match today, I'm betting 2-0 with TH getting less than 20 rounds total
I think it's harsh to judge LEV from that match against Talon since Talon had tons of vods to review and anti-strat, while LEV was facing a team that literally had 3 matches played, and knew Talon could play whatever the heck they wanted. They had 0 prep against Talon's comps and still 2-0'd. Top teams in playoffs aren't going to pull out crazy comps like that without showing it somewhere previously
That's true, considering Talon purposely lost against Zeta in Week 4 to avoid Gen.G, and how they seemingly lost the match against DRX in the playoffs on purpose because they had already secured Champions. Whereas Leviatán played until final in Americas with all their strats open.
I just judge based on latest matches. I have a faith in Leviatán pulling a Top 4 in this Champions, but I just don't see Leviatán's appeal, rather Gen.G, Fnatic, and G2 looks more appealing.
I think the problem with talon is that a lot of their vods is pure junk in terms of strats. (Frost openly admitted to saving strats in multiple games) While it may be easy to sort out the good from the bad, frost and talon have enough time to cook up something new and anti strat while their opponents could end up watching a vod from a month to possibly predict what their plans are.
