NA
The guard - a young adaptable team and if they don’t get nervous on lan tbh they can tear up Iceland
NRG - visual improvement from last year, could’ve easily beat V1 and sen
V1 - topped out groups against optic sen and only didn’t qualify because of one upset
APAC
Bleed and boom - this goes for pretty much every APAC team but the aim is there if they figure out how go strat and counterstrat a bit better they can be super dangerous
EMEA
LDNU - got completely annihilated by Gambit but we’re the only team to beat FPX in challengers and put up good performances again rest of teams
Gambit/M3C - the adaptability of the players and resilience has shown that this team has the ability to create a dynasty for themselves (if the Russian people can rid of Putin)
Latam
Leviatan - beat KRU, came close to the qualifying against them, had a rough game against NIP but if they continue on their track they can be really good
BR
Loud and NIP - shown to be really good in their own region but have yet to prove themselves internationally
