EDG got knocked out early but usually bounce back at internationals and got a massive firepower upgrade
XLG looks consistent as ever
BLG, JDG, Nova, Tyloo are all rising to top level of china where I have genuinely no clue who will be going to champs between those four
legit the first time since champs 2024 (Trace, BLG, FPX, EDG) I have been this confident in the region doing well
I mean EMEA looks really weak, and pacific is probably the weakest its been in the two years? but americas is lowkey scary, especially LEV since their permaban is gone
The worst case scenario is AG making it through and snubbing one of the ones you mentioned an international slot, but AG aren't even that bad. It's a little worrying considering the lack of experience from most of the top teams right now minus BLG, but as a whole the region has never been as promising top-down as it is right now. It really is exciting!
Agreed, AG have preformed really well, so even if they go on points they can have upset potential. Never been more excited to watch this region at champs
true and berLIN has really stepped up since being dropped from FPX. JDG really surprised me
