APAC: Honestly EDG could beat DRX rn, they smacked ASE and they gave drx a run for their money - 2nd/3rd
EMEA: They had a real chance of beating TL. Their lotus looks decent but I think after some more games against top EMEA teams they could improve a lot. That NAVI game is really tough to judge. They barely squeaked past NAVI but I think they are on even footing with them. Way better than FUT imo. - 3rd/4th, 2nd on a good day
Americas: I think they lose to loud but it will be a close game. Honestly, EDG v NRG is a 50/50. I see these NA meatriders saying EDG is only clutch plays and aim and they won’t be able to do that against NRG. But think about it, if EDG has players that can outaim Sayf, they can definitely outaim nrg. NRG doesn’t have enough firepower idc what you say. Victor aim is shaky, Crashies is good but not cracked, same with Ardiis, S0m is very good rifler and might be the only one that can compete with EDG, and fns aim is dogshit. But nrg midrounding is so good with fenis. I think it’s 50/50, probably lose to EG though - 3rd/4th they beat c9 off firepower alone
NRG vs EDG is not 50/50
I understand ur reasoning but your underrating NRG’s calling/executions. Crashies, Ardiss and S0m are all mechanically insane and Victor and FNS do exactly what they are there to do. EDG is insane but let’s not overrate them they lost to Liquid due to making simple mistakes, Liquid looked off that game even. It’s more like 60-40 or 65-35
EMEA #2-4
EDG could beat Liquid, especially if they scrim better opponents. Also edged out NAVI. Fnatic unknown rn tbh.
Americas #3-5
EG are on one rn, and NRG and Loud always show up. They could take a series over one of them but I don't see them beating all three of them in a tournament run or a season.
Pacific #1-2
DRX seem to be stagnating especially with this 6 man roster shenanigans, so I see EDG clearing them. EDG could beat PRX with Something, given that DRX took PRX to 5 games.
