Anyone want to predict which 8 teams make to Bangkok before all the rostermania?
My pick:
NRG
SEN
GENG
PRX
TH
FNC
EDG
TE
rumours are aspas is looking to leave LEV. Whenever LEV was playing bad aspas was still doing pretty good, so the general thought is that if LEV have a bad game, they won't have aspas to save them. Now ofc aspas leaving single handily won't make LEV bad but he was certainly a big part of their success this year
Disclaimer: I love overcooking for any region that isn’t CN because I don’t know CN.
CN:
EDG (yeah… this pick is obvious)
FPX (I heard that they were cooking with roster changes, and tbh even if they don’t, they’ll fry the competition after this break if they can return to Masters Shanghai form)
APAC:
PRX (I hope they lock in over this off season)
Riddle Order (Yes, I am predicting an ascension team miracle run. The entire team looks in form and I expect great things from them. Now, if I were a bit more serious, I could see TLN (rumors are that ban is getting the boot) or GENG (yeah… obviously))
AMER:
NRG (The rumors are lowkey going crazy, but even if they don’t get everyone they were hoping for, they still have a bonkers roster. S0m is arguably the best controller NA, Ethan and Demon1 are very good, and FNS is FNS. If they don’t troll, this team is going places (preferably bangkok))
G2 (Regardless if icy gets swapped, they are still probably #1 or #2 in AMER lmao)
EMEA
TH (they cooked this year; they’ll probably do it again)
KC (Even though they are -N4rrate (probably), KC still has a lot of room for improvement imo. I liked what I was seeing during Split 1, so if they get their shit together, they will go crazy)
Trying to be out of the box(kinda) but still make sense (In seeding order)
TLN(I have high hopes for talon assuming they can get better support and truly cook)
PRX/Gen.G(depends on PRX form)
EDG(still good, but not as dominant)
FPX/RA(high hopes for RA(assuming they win ascension), but I can definitely see them failing a bit and FPX taking the slot)
FNC(duh)
VIT(VIT is really the only team I see even having a chance of qualing past FNC and TH, outside of maybe NAVI?)
G2(Will work on structure + backup plans)
KRU(saddhak will carry)
Placements:
G2, PRX/Gen.G, EDG, TLN, FNC, KRU, FPX/RA, VIT
