EMEA has been literal beasts in the pro scene. NA has OPTIC, I don't see XSET doing well (It will be like TGUARD). APAC has PRX and now BOOM Esports who we havent seen in any international event before.

PRX will be doing well
BOOM getting absolutely destoryed
for NA I dont see a difference, only Optic can compete against top competition.
so it looks like a M3C tournament to win
one dark horse is China, I have them 90% getting fucked tomorrow
but we will see
1st tier : FPX, Optic
2nd tier: PRX , FNC, EMEA LCQ
3rd tier : LOUD, NA LCQ
You are forgeting about sentinels.
(To be honest though, i can see fpx/emea winning it again. Their antistrats and mechancis are really good.)
I hope Sen make it to champs it would be great for the fans and the community to see the OG to comeback
Only if they beat DRX in the starting round in the upperbracket :) other than that I don't see a chance lol
europe 100%, optic look defeated, loud looked beatable and have big flaws, prx playstyle is very counterable and people know how they play already, drx counterable af, FPX just looking like the best team in the world not even in close
Optic was very much out of sync and they've all said they were very burnt out before copenhagen even happened. I imagine they'll come back with rejuvenated strats and team chemistry for champs. Doesn't mean they'll win but they did place 3rd in Denmark at what I'd say was around 80% of their peak form.
The safe answer is emea but optic and prx both have a legitimate shot and boom could either flop or go nuts, i think drx will continue to take scalps but still not win anything, damwon, should they qualify, are dark horses for a deep run imo. I dont see brazil doing much but Kru is definately dangerous. Imo Prx take it home though
EMEA will be sending 3 title contenders meanwhile other regions only sending 1
