China is catching up but a few teams are still behind in the global scene
Next year definitely Americas expecting a turn around from teams outside of NRG and G2 ( S0n they are just ass )
Bonkar is the greatest
Aspas is the best

chron (esp if fnc wins champs)
aspas
americas; EG (going to finally come into form)
apac; RRQ
emea; liquid (same as EG)
cn - DRG

is china still behind?
Yes but not that mush

who is the greatest?
Prob Chron, but the margin is thin, anyone could take the crown next year

who is the best?
Aspas did a good job on this but if he change a team again then he is the problem and not allow consistency, I'll say him but i'll change my mind at the exact moment he leave MIBR

which underrated team in each region will dominate next year?
Depends of rostermania
EMEA : i'll say BBL (maybe M8),
CNTW : AG (I like how they try a lot of people),
AMER : Lukxo team (So LOUD or MIBR maybe ?)
APAC : GEN
