Vikings - I think they have a decent chance of getting out of groups
KRU - Doubt they get out of the group, but I think they’ll put up a better fight than expected
Acend and Envy - When it comes to who’s gonna win no one talks about these two, they’re always overshadowed by TL and SEN. But as we saw last event when Envy beat SEN… it can easily be anyone’s day, and these are two amazing teams that could easily go on a hot streak and win the whole thing
What about FS and VK. Everyone puts them into bottom 5.
FS has a good individual game sense and their coordination is good too.
VK has heat and other players aren't that bad either. Just a little bit of hesitation can be seen in Jhow's mid round decisions like leaving a site open to support team on defence trying to take individual fights. I think they would be great after the roster change.
I think a lot has to do with the team players.
NGL Shahzam has that cocky south asian gene. He was on the top of the world after winning a tournament with teams that came to iceland after upsets. (NUTURN was not as good as VS, V1 not as good as other NA teams, TL could honestly have beat SEN but V1 was just so annoying to play against).
Masters 3 was where the real good teams came in, Gambit, Acend, VS, the real good teams from EU and Asia came in to play. (except SEA) and they saw their place. Not only did they drop maps, but they also were not even top 4.
Dapr and zombs also have really hatable personalities. It puts off many people, especially from Asian cultures/snowflakes in other regions. Sick is neutral tbh. TenZ is the only innocent soul stuck among these guys which seems like they would cover a grandma's home with toilet paper if they were teens in your neighbourhood.
FNC- Heavily underrated because some people think Iceland is an irrelevant international tourney. They aren't in the best of form to showcase their true potential.
Vikings- With VK being the team that is most talked about rn, people forget the fact that Vikings were the best Brazilian team for the first 6 months of the year.
X10- People don't think X10 are good because they haven't done anything relevant since Iceland but who knows what trick they're hiding up their sleeve. With the level of competition in SEA being very high I think X10 are good enough to give VK, ENVY and ACE a run for their money if they're caught slacking.
