drx is a meta cruch, and without a new meta heading into 2026 they cant hard rely on new macro, plus they lost their x factor player
geng lost their igl, who is one of the best igls in the world, and now are relying on a player who hasnt ever igled, hasnt played vct in over a year, and already isnt known for his fragging to lead the team
fs relies solely on confidence, and with a new coach + new igl could very easily get outplayed by top dog teams
rrq have a high floor but a low ceiling, and seeing how they didnt make any changes, they are relying on both individual performances to win
ge has both experienced players as well as fresh rookies, multiple callers, multiple shooters, and a tested coaching staff. The only question is that is xavi gonna be a good igl, as he is new, but seeing how they deliberately chose him to igl over kr1stal im sure that they will be fine
