yeah nova look pretty good
i'd keep my eye in xlg and blg too

trace have shown that they can play insane in china, so they've got the ceiling to go deep

for both of you, what is the biggest thing that the other cn teams lack that edg has?
is it just firepower (im recalling chichoo crazy shots) or is it strats, a bit of both?

any teams that stand out in either regard? i know Trace had a good bind with the deadlock from champs last year but apart from that it's a bit unknown
oh and ofc blg lolol

A few teams getting stronger like TE, BLG, XLG, Wolves.
Unfortunately with china, the results are often predictable which makes it a bit boring.

EDG just farming china these past few years.

TvirusLuke appears to have departed DRG for TEC, as Haodong's voice was detected in his livestream (Haodong being a TEC player). Concurrently, DRG will be promoting their academy team player ying - one of China's most closely monitored rookie prospects. Additionally, cangshu's contract status has been updated to 'active', and according to the contract database crawler bot on X, DRG also has bai registered. It remains unclear whether DRG will bench vookashu.

My guess is EDG/XLG/Trace for Toronto. XLG proved to be a very strong team and Rarga/Happywei look like two of the best players in the region. Trace might've bombed out of Bangkok but they're insane regionally so they seem like a safe bet.

NOVA is a strong contender for Toronto as they've improved massively this year. BLG has a mid looking roster but they're a decent team too.
