I think its interesting topic. Lets discuss about this

EMEA:
Guild and FPX looks good, still possible to make it out of groups for NaVi as third, but most likely at least 1 team from champions surely gonna qualify from EMEA.

Acend lost to Guild, and their Bind winstrike stopped by G2 rn
Gambit lost to FPX, after new patch looks like nAts gonna be nerfed with this new Viper + stress with this all rus-ukr things
TL doing some unnecessary risks with those experiments like fpx in 2021
FNC - looks ok. but since 2021 Reykjavik i have feelings that this team for some reasons bad at closing maps, they can have dominant score like 11-6 and choke until OT, it was 1 year ago vs sen, on champions against c9, against kru and even now against bbl. Just something not working for them on late rounds, mb opponents adapting for them and they need to change gameplan and defaults for late rounds ,idk

NA:
Big possiblity for qualify on Masters to V1 and Guard

Sen barely winning against not even best NA teams
Optic lost to Rise, i have strong feeling that V1 gonna roll Optic
Only C9 looks good enough to qualify, but if guard gonna upset c9 i will take my words back

APAC:
PRX and Xerxia are favourites for me here

TS not even qualifyed for APAC playoffs
Full Sence - idk what i should write here, but their performance at champs was really bad
Xerxia (ex X10) still looks good enough to qualify

Latam:
I have my eyes on Leviathan in LATAM(mb upset against KRU inc), i think Onur's impact in KRU underrated, as i remember after tactical timeouts Kru usually won next round

KR:
On2S won DRX VS rn

BR:
Vivo Keyd looks shaky
Meanwhile Loud, NiP and new Furia looks good

Other:
Furia, Vikings, CR made huge roster changes, so ig its counts as different teams now

TLDR: i think only ex-x10, C9 and some emea team from champions mb can qualify for Reykjavik 2022, and other 9 teams-members gonna be new
Whats ur thoughts?

Furia only made one change btw Xand for AbleJ but I think that EMEA will have two returning teams and also it still feels likely that DRX make it aas well

As a team yes. they have good setups,ideas, defaults, midcalls, but imo they struggle against teams that rely on individual/fast plays.
Chronicle after masters berlin in interview for cis told that Gambit just abused FNS's site and played fast 5push rounds, because envy cant punish them for this , also gambit at some moment just felt that they are stronger individually than envy

I never said they are the best but they can definetly make masters

V1, C9B, TGRD all looking way stronger right now and only 2 slots for NA. So Optic has to surprise not one but 2 teams in Playoffs

wait until Optic plays V1, after that we can tell more accurately

I think if liquid sorts their comps out they'll qualify, along with guild and gambit/acend

From EMEA side i think That FNC + Guild maybe even Gambit if they are allowed to play Cole to Island. NA is going Go be a tough one but I feel like C9 is going to do it.

My predictions:
EMEA - #1 Fnatic, #2 Guild, #3 Liquid
NA - #1 The Guard, #2 Cloud 9
KR - On Sla2ers
JP - ZETA
APAC - #1 Xerxia, #2 Paper Rex (maybe FS upset)
BR - LOUD
LATAM - KRU
BR & LATAM - VK

Opinions?
