so far we will be getting good teams without any fodders competing this year and pacific ascension is always an absolute cinema
JP: most likely riddle order. this team should be the contender to win the whole thing + experienced players who seeks redemption in t1, especially the 2023 dfm guys.
KR: FearX, former og NS team. this team was only 2nd to the dominant SPG last year and getting better after split 2 2024.
SEA: should be MTV, NKT, NAOS, FS. unless theres an upset happen in split 3 playoffs.
MTV the old DSG roster with grumble is currently still taking a break, definitely a contender with their experience.
FS & NKT. Thailand probably have 2 teams with the most firepower but still inexperienced (not the same FS last year). though they have home advantage playing in bangkok.
NAOS. this team is always a wildcard whenever they play, mojer and ptc are the experienced guys who's still longing to ascend.
OCE: EKING/Bonkers. finally a real team that come out from the region not the cinderella runners anymore. they should be doing much better this year than the previous ones for OCE. these 5 guys are cracked but they play in farmers region. kadiri might be their missing piece (?)
SA: VLT. probably the best indian team that come out to ascension for years. and skrossi actually been playing decent, its not imports singlehandedly carrying them anymore.
prediction:
#1 NS
#2 MTV (with grumble) #3 without grumble
#3 Riddle Order #2 MTV without grumble
#4 BME (if no change) #2 with change
#5-6 FS
#5-6 EKING
#7-8 VLT
#7-8 FearX
#9-10 NKT
#9-10 NAOS
