APAC
Undisputably the most stacked region, even if PRX chokes away another final. The 3 Korean teams are all formidable and every single one may win it all at their respective peaks. RRQ, Talon, even Secret can turn it up on their given days. -
EMEA
Yes, TH underperformed, but they folded to two upper final sides, so it's not nearly as bad as one should think. Liquid is unfortunate, but they managed to push PRX to the brink there. The Turkish teams are decent, and Vitality might bounce back too, so the potential is still there. -
China ≈ Americas
Difficult to say because Masters are so fucking short. SEN walked all 3 Chinese teams and so you can't quite put China squarely over Americas either. Talent-wise, about the same I'd say. MIBR is ass, but 100T and NRG are probably better than them coming into stage 2. For China, you can't count out EDG either. All and all, about equal if XLG and BLG can prove their levels internationally.
