favorites are probably apeks but my team to watch out for is CGN. they had a pretty dominant regular season. they unfortunately lost to mouz in grands but imo theyre the no1 team in dach region. so they had to qualify the hard way through play-ins and they did pretty convincingly.
for China outside of the obvious names like the XLG players and dimasick, probably Cxy, 9st, and NterGreen come to mind as definitely deserving of a shot
honestly pretty sure the vast majority of that dsg roster would get poached if they dont win asc
but yeah i dont doubt him being imported or something with how val is going
