NAVI might be sneaky good. I feel like koalanoob is around the same tier of firepower as ardiis. Honestly, if koalanoob is as good as an AWPer as these NA fans advertise then he'll be an awesome pickup. SUYGETSU is historically better than hiro but I won't be surprised if hiro is gonna be better than him this year. Ruxic being a cracked controller is actually pretty big since that prevents the team from nerfing itself when ANGE1 dies first as a controller. ANGE1 on flex as a planter (Gekko) or a secondary controller (Viper) seems great so he doesn't have to take too many gunfights. Finally Shao is Shao.
For Liquid, I really feel like paTiTek is the weak link. I don't think he'll ever play as well again as he did in Shanghai but I hope he proves me wrong. Kr1stal still would've been my pick since it also gives Liquid a dedicated IGL. For his role, kamyk is pretty solid. You won't find too many cracked Breach, KAY/O, Gekko players anyway so he's the next best thing. I feel like kamo would either be a top 3 or bottom 3 EMEA duelist next year, there's no in between. I'm also kinda excited to see Keiko on smokes. It's been a while since we've seen a controller player with good aim.
