feel free to provide feedback. subject to change. if i forget anything or give a braindead take please let me know.
americas:
- g2: totally not biased lol. but fr, i do not see many other teams being able to beat g2 right now. jawgemo was a great addition and really fixed some of the things that g2 didn't have last year with icy. the future looks good
- sen: i don't especially like sen but this team is pretty good. bang, zekken and n4rrate are all great. johnqt is pretty good and zellsis is mid but all in all this looks solid
- c9: holy c9 buff. vanity is still one of the worst players that i have seen in t1 and now that he's gone and replaced with a pretty good player in v1c, next year looks really good for c9. rossy is also good.
- lev: demon1 for aspas is a downgrade, but not by that much. lev still look strong.
- eg: +sym +yay is actually crazy good. with potter at the wheel and an ok supporting cast, this looks like a good direction for eg. might actually qualify to playoffs, but idk.
- 100t: +zander -bang is an interesting trade. team is still pretty ok but i still stand by the fact that boostio is mid. asuna is ok. cryo needs to stop being bad and step up again, his season last year was very up and down. eeiu is good tho.
- mibr: if aspas and nzr are not going to mibr than mibr is 11th. however atp since its very likely, mibr are going here purely based off of star power. (rest of them are ok ig, i don't know that much about them)
- nrg: i would put them lower but the new changes are actually pretty good. verno and mada are some very good t2 talent and might carry fns to playoffs. i can't comfortably put them higher than any other team at this point tho.
- kru: not lower purely because of keznit lol. +mta -klaus is still crazy even though it happened a long time ago. this placement really depends on who else they bring in lol.
- 2g: i was really impressed by their game against m80 in the finals. but i have no clue what will happen, or whether their players can compete in t1. they can definitely aim though. if they can get their midround to a semi-decent level i can see them possibly (probably not) making playoffs.
- loud: this is sad but it needs to be done. they simply cannot replace sadhaak and less. and with their mediocre performance last year i don't know what they can do with only who they have left.
- furia: with nzr gone this isn't looking good (when did it ever lol). mwzera is pretty good but i don't know of they can assemble anything to support him.
