Yay plays the OP, unfortunately the OP is played in the duelist role so he plays duelist, chamber was literally perfect for him

You have a misconception about reyna, she doesn't help with getting the first kills, all of her skills lead her into getting the subsequent kills easier, heal is obvious, dismiss allows you to escape being traded, ult basically just buffs dismiss and heal, while leer is the only ability that actually helps with getting the first kill, and it really doesn't help when theres more than one person there, because one of the guys can just shoot it while its forming and the other will kill you 90% of the time, and even after the 10% you get the kill and dismiss out, what are you doing after? you prob just recieved damage peeking into 2 guys and now you are low and leer isn't really a good ability, in a ranked game of course you can just peek again and try to win the other fight and heal but in pro play you are not repeeking that angle as they are already prob gone and played retake.

Most teams in this tournament has the "potential" to destroy every other team, turns out franchised teams get good players, so after talent then its the structure, teamplay, synergy, which we haven't seen from team liquid even before they got 2 new players, though a team with structure will be more likely to win, in a single-elim tournament every team has a chance to win it all just having a few great matches, just a few games where nats or jamppi take over will be enough, though i wouldn't pick them as favorites, i can confidently put 100T, Leviatan , Navi, DRX, PRX,NRG above them

the only teams i would confidently put as better than NRG is 100T and maybe Leviatan on a good day, no way in hell NRG is #5 when the rest of the teams are new teams that have to build structure from scratch

Anyone else saw that sign language guy in the background after the first game?

sign language caster?

I think any role past Controller and Oper is not set, everyone else needs to flex, we don't know what the meta is gonna be in future and having one tricks on the team that can only play 1-2 agents will not be good when the meta suddenly becomes 3 initiator like on ascent or when theres no duelist like icebox.

Redgar would add more to the team than more firepower than naTs, though if both of them join i would start supporting liquid even if they start to lose

You forgot about subroza and aproto

personally i wouldn't touch victor and crashies, maybe crashies but definitly not victor

You gotta remember that all of these teams will all be based on seoul even the non Korean teams, so more than likely even if its a korean org, it could be completely made out of non korean players
