NRG - possibly forming a super team
100T - picking up EG assistant coach + Boostio and possibly c0m/eeiu is great
SEN - Keeping the 4 man core plus a good igl who can shoot back plus play sentinel so pancada can finally be on smokes
C9 - 💀
G2 - the guard core + leaf sounds disgusting
EG: IDK 💀

Obviously not the greatest reason considering the excess costs, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPVYKg_Xod0 is a good video
I'm still annoyed about NRG moving away from FNS and s0m. I really just don't get it, they either have to poach Saadhak or just get a far inferior IGL when they were a top 8 team ITW last year. You can flip a coin with current Marved and s0m(tho I do prefer Marved's obvious higher ceiling) and they still don't have a set in stone plan. I do think any iteration of Saadhak + Aspas, FNS + Demon1/Leaf/ or Demon1+Flyuh would be great, but I really don't love this no IGL Ethan Demon1 thing, and rn it seems most likely as Saadhak hasn't become a FA, Flyuh is scrimming MXM and there's been nothing about FNS coming back. Honestly the worst of the 4 scenarios IMO.
On the other hand I do see what you mean, 100T with hopefully c0m is a great base, SEN looks good and if the G2 team is what's rumored that sounds like its on their level. NRG hopefully does cook like crazy because C9 will suck(Wippie, Oxy, Immi aren't T1 level). My other big, unlikely, hope is that EG gets a team of "scraps" and does really well. Even if they only keep Jawgemo they still have a lot to work form. The current unrumored talent pool is
Flyuh/FNS/Runi IGL
EEIU/BcJ/Brawk/Nature initiator
Skuba smokes
Yay/Tex/Demon1/N4rrate duelist
Aproto/Moose sentinel
That's a TON of talent, even if the whole team dips they could run a squad of Tex Flyuh EEIU Skuba Aproto and still be pretty good IMO, and even then I think we will likely see Jawgemo back and Ethan wouldn't surprise me either.
