I think its interesting topic. Lets discuss about this
EMEA:
Guild and FPX looks good, still possible to make it out of groups for NaVi as third, but most likely at least 1 team from champions surely gonna qualify from EMEA.
Acend lost to Guild, and their Bind winstrike stopped by G2 rn
Gambit lost to FPX, after new patch looks like nAts gonna be nerfed with this new Viper + stress with this all rus-ukr things
TL doing some unnecessary risks with those experiments like fpx in 2021
FNC - looks ok. but since 2021 Reykjavik i have feelings that this team for some reasons bad at closing maps, they can have dominant score like 11-6 and choke until OT, it was 1 year ago vs sen, on champions against c9, against kru and even now against bbl. Just something not working for them on late rounds, mb opponents adapting for them and they need to change gameplan and defaults for late rounds ,idk
NA:
Big possiblity for qualify on Masters to V1 and Guard
Sen barely winning against not even best NA teams
Optic lost to Rise, i have strong feeling that V1 gonna roll Optic
Only C9 looks good enough to qualify, but if guard gonna upset c9 i will take my words back
APAC:
PRX and Xerxia are favourites for me here
TS not even qualifyed for APAC playoffs
Full Sence - idk what i should write here, but their performance at champs was really bad
Xerxia (ex X10) still looks good enough to qualify
Latam:
I have my eyes on Leviathan in LATAM(mb upset against KRU inc), i think Onur's impact in KRU underrated, as i remember after tactical timeouts Kru usually won next round
KR:
On2S won DRX VS rn
BR:
Vivo Keyd looks shaky
Meanwhile Loud, NiP and new Furia looks good
Other:
Furia, Vikings, CR made huge roster changes, so ig its counts as different teams now
TLDR: i think only ex-x10, C9 and some emea team from champions mb can qualify for Reykjavik 2022, and other 9 teams-members gonna be new
Whats ur thoughts?
