Teams who can improve immensely till Stage 2

Americas:--
LOUD is the team who i have immense hope for in Stage 2. The coaching definitely needed some changes but the team itself looks good. In the EG game, LOUD looked like the better team for 90% of the game but Potter diffed Stk so hard in the coaching department. Lukxo is amazing and a much needed help for Dgzin. While i don't think they'll win anything, they could be the surprise 4th Champs team.

EMEA:--
GiantX is my pick here. Ara and Flickless are great additions to the team and now it feels like GX can shoot back. One of the things I like about them is that they never give up. That sounds very weird, but the comeback against TH would never have been possible if they just folded and didn't punish TH for their misplays. I don't think this team has scope for internationals, but they could be a team where they will punch down and maybe get an upset over a team.

APAC:--
APAC have an insanely amazing and competitive top 5, but a very boring bottom 7. TS, DFM and GE look dead in the water. NS, Talon and ZETA have upset potential but i don't see them qualifying for an international. Ironically enough the team with the most potential is PRX, which feels nauseating to say. They have a chance to suddenly find their old form and blast some teams along the way. TRACK BY TRACK.

Loud 100% can/will. they are like the KRU 23 losing to OTs and close games. If loud can figure out how to close these games out they for sure can have a higher chance to making champs

nah im ngl loud looked horrible in the EG game. the reason it was even close is because pancada had an otherworldly first 2 maps.

Loud need a new good coach, team kept losing so many eco rounds its all in the stratbook

Ts can improve immensely as long as they remove jessievash and 2ge and Meow

KC after the tejo nerfs and harbor buffs

Loud choked 2 matches against kru and 2G and against Sen also they could have won just need some coaching changes and bring an igl
