Is APAC
PRX downgraded, Monyet is a great duelist, but unless u get Aspas everyone is pretty much a downgrade. The good thing is they are free to play more wonky stuff now that they don't have a perma raze. But they do need more time to cook. Max finish in madrid is probably 3rd. They aint beating Loud , NRG or Fnatic. (Loud might face NRG and one of them in that case wont be in Madrid)
T1 : Looks slightly better than the old T1. More firepower, but not enough to beat any world class team. Max finish 5-6
DRX and GenG : looks promising, but need more time for players like Flashback and Karon to shine. Max finish 5-6
For EMEA :
Fnatic is still Fnatic, one of the favorite to win the tourney.
The second seed doesn't matter. Navi looked shaky, Keiko cant kill 37 every map, Fut lost to heretics. Maybe Vitality idk. Probably will be one of the weakest team in the tourney.
For Americas:
Loud and NRG are the other two favorite to win the event of they make it. If both of them goes to Madrid the top 3 is pretty much sealed.
If Lev or Sen made it, they will probably finish 5-6th
China
Edg might be good, might be bad. Also true for the second Chinese team. They might do good or do worse than APAC. Its more a question mark imo than the guaranteed mid from APAC.
Another L for the 0 trophy region.
