seeing the rosters no cap OASIS/SIBOL/PH are the early faves as it's the only complete roster eligible for Ascension. May take the event as part of preps though Chemistry and experience and VCL exposure may take into play to win the Gold.
ID has NCslasher who made it to APAC LCQ finals and Eeyore so they are sleeper picks for the Gold medal. They have the BTR Core with AE players (looking at kush as one of the high potential players).
VN has Crazyguy while SG has nephh to carry their squads, might contend
KH (Cambodia) as host will send a team but might be overwhelmed to the other 4 who are regularly exposed to VCT/VCL Competition.
