I just don’t see a world where AMER doesn’t win Toronto
Like the only serious contender in Pacific is Geng but they’ll get owned by Sentinels and RRQ has zero international experience. All the possible third seeds either have zero experience (Boom) or are massive chokers (DRX, PRX)
Now that EDG is out, China is not even in the picture for the trophy win imo, Wolves look shaky as fuck, BLG is BLG and I seriously doubt XLG will perform as good internationally as they do regionally but if I had to pick a dark horse for the tournament, it would be them.
If (and that’s a huge if) Alfa and Chronicle return to their forms, FNC can also put up a good fight but besides FNC, EMEA has zero chances as well. BBL and Lewn in particular are extremely inconsistent and TL will probably just bomb out. Maybe Derke will perform better now that he has access to good PCs
