i feel like prx will get grouped in one event, bomb out of playoffs one event, and place 3rd/4th in another event

1) G2(if the current team sticks, which is likely) and Vitality win 1 international trophy each

2) Sentinel,kru will struggle

3)PRX will still keep impressing everyone with there aggressive W gameplay and reach atleast 1 international GF (they are hella heavy momentum based team, so can win too until unless they remember the past and start throwing rounds, and with no momentum later struggle and lose the dual confidence resulting in another 2nd spot :( )

KRU win Santiago (don’t do a LOUD 12-11 choke with home crowd)
EG will keep yay and make an international
One of the historically bad APAC teams will make playoffs at an international event (GE, TS, DFM, Zeta)
Fracture will be Map 5 at Champs final
Riot will redo all of VCT live after Champs 2026 final
Optic Gaming will come back to T2 and pick up a roster and qual for an event.
FNC does not come close to winning an event until they win champs final. Boaster + 1 other retire on the spot.

Here are my new takes for kickoff.
Nrg, mibr and vitality won't make Santiago. At most one of these teams will make it.
Prx will be bad in kickoff and won't qualify to Santiago but will be top 3 from stage 1.
Edg will be #2 minimum in kickoff.
