Franchised League
Drx: Pretty self explanatory. Already a phenomenal roster and only added a cracked player. This team will only get better and is way ahead of the teams that have to rebuild.
Navi: Same roster except adding Cned in place of Ardiis. The firepower for this roster is insane along with their already insane strats. I expect a similar if not a higher peak that they had earlier this year.
100T: Another great and young roster that made one phenomenal roster change. The chemistry, fundamentals and mechanics these guys have will take them far this season. They showed at redbull homegrounds just how much they should be feared.
Liquid: This team has insane potential. Each of these players is mechanically cracked and with the addition of nats, redgar, and sayf they will have the fundamentals and strats to take them very far this season. They are defenitely a team to fear especially since they made it so far in the home ground tournament with troll comps and stand ins.
NRG: This one is a hot take for most people. I think that picking up the optic core was an amazing move just because of how successful and consistent they have been. Although they no longer have yay who was undoubtedly a huge reason for their success, they replaced him with ardiis which is literally the next best replacement for such an amazing player. All of these players are extremely smart and with the coaching staff they will definitely cook up some interesting strats and comps for the 2023 season.
Giants: Another hot take. But I think this roster took the two best players from g2, an amazing flex player from navi, picked up an underrated igl (who was picked to be a sub for fpx during champs) and kept an insane fragger. This team is new but has insane potential with insane firepower and it seems like they are already starting to mesh well into their new roles. Definitely a team to look out for next year.
Ascension League
M80: This is quite obvious to everyone but this roster is just stacked. They took just about all the players (outside of guard and sr) who could have been franchised and put them on a roster. Insane firepower along with a cs legend as a coach. Definitely big expectations but I think this roster will be dedicated enough to live up to them.
Shopify Rebellion: Again another roster that accomplished a lot last year but seems to have peaked as a roster. With the addition of v1c, they have upgraded their roster so much with just one addition. High hopes for this roster going into next year.
Parla Esports: This roster is AMAZING. I think it is surreal esports without alfajer. Already this team is going head to head with Navi, Giants, Vitality and much more. Given time this roster will get even better. Should've been picked up as a roster by bbl or fut but those orgs r stupid.
Bonk: This is a solid and very underrated roster. They have been dominating in other tournaments and they brought enghhh (former gambit coach) on so I think with time this roster will be up there.
Bleed: The firepower with this roster with sscary (who could easily been in the franchised league) is insane. I have no doubt with their insane coach and analyst they will dominate the asia ascension league
