Are you just not up to date for who is going to Berlin? Because I can tell you right now, from Jp it is Cr and ZETA. From EMEA it is acend, smb, g2, and gambit, from korea it is vs and f4q. From NA it is sen, nv, and 100t.
Hot take: all the teams with LAN experience will perform well from the start while others will struggle (at least at the beginning), which means
performs well: SEN, VS, 100T, LATAM winner, F4Q, and others I'm missing
struggles: Acend, G2, NV (hopefully not), Gambit, SMB, and others
Reasoning: Some players at Iceland including SicK and Shaz said there was an adjustment time on LAN as peeks work a lot different, and also players with no LAN experience may be a lot more nervous and susceptible to choking
A SEA or JP team makes top 8
An EMEA chokes and doesnt make top 12, idk who but im calling one will
I think VS and SEN will do the best, SEN doesn't drop a map again.
If I had to pick an outrageous order that they'll place in:
1) SEN
2) VS
3) NV
4) ACE
5) 100T
6) HL
7) GMB
8) F4Q
9) CR
10) G2
11) GUILD
12) SMB
13) WHOMEGALUL
I was trying to be the most outrageous I could be. I can make an actual decent one if the turkish fans get angy
This one is outrageous for only SMB because other predictions isn't that far :(
A Brazil team, either Furia/VKS/Sharks or HL, finishes in the top 5. The teams look like they understand the meta a lot better this time tbh and Brazil aim is always solid
Also my rankings:
After the Brazilians I want KRU and SMB to win the whole thing and I will definitely root for them
My hot take is the VS or NV will win the whole thing, and a BR team gets third place beating out Acend. Additionally, Yay, outperforms both Tenz and Cned
Holy shit, i like El Diablo better than TenZ ngl
If Brazil eliminates Acend I will freak out
all hot takes?
-g2 will choke hard and won't place any higher than 12th
-acend will lose their first match (depending on who they play) and will barely win their second, but will make a lower bracket run to make it to top 5 or better
-vs will beat sen if they meet, but if they meet again sen will beat them
we shall see
No Asian team wins a game (besides Vision strikers) against other regions.
Btw why do you guys think G2 will choke, it’s way more likely the case with SMB/gambit
EMEA seem weaker than last time so I have NV SEN 100T or VS winning it
I would rather a SEA team winning than EMEA
SEN don't win it, 100T (unfortunately) don't go very far, NV goes the furthest out of NA, Gambit loses to a minor region team & VS is on the finals
