- G2, finally won a domestic but not a clear favorite
- EDG, slow start but still won their region and are defending champs
- VIT, look pretty insane rn
- DRX, might not win this tournament but can definitely top three
- SEN, they look like they just need a bit more time to truly mesh with each other
- T1 similar state to SEN
- TL, surprisingly really good
- Trace, don’t sleep on them
