Xipto should win this easily but I still don't like roles in Xipto . Trying to play the meta in Yoru doesn't suit the strength of players of Xipto and they play stuck between structure and chaos as of now . Maybe Azys playing Raze/Jett with 13rd on Neon/waylay and then double initiator or switching Sova/Fade for Skye/Kayo to compensate for flashes allows Xipto's firepower to shine more. Also maybe more of JA on Chamber leaning into the firepower even if this kind of comp is slightly off meta should work better in short run for them..
I wasn't expecting much with how weird the strats and team comp has been but was certainly expecting Top 2 disappointing for Xipto literally had best team on paper in PH now idk if they stick together till April but if they do I hope they change these wacky roles and iron out their gameplay. Azys looks good on everything except Yoru still shooting sharpest here as he was in VCL SA so I kind of would continue to support Xipto especially since none of my fav core members are even playing except him.
Xipto last year were the 3rd best team out of PH; despite facing competition at the SEA level. They released their 2 Malaysian players for an all-Filipino lineup with pretty much proven veterans and an upcoming player in 13RD.
Hopes were def high for them to at least contend for one of the Regionals spots.
