Presume we will see some changes in the team, they have been losing their drive lately...Saberlight may return to EU, although it does not seem that there is any open place for him at a decent team. Liquid is going to have to do some roster changes due to Matumba but not sure if they just want a new carry or are doing more things. Gaimin Gladiators or Entity doing some changes also seem likely. | ||

True...the shoes which have to be filled when Matu will leave are big, the remaining four seems to be back in shape right in time unless somebody wants to leave do not think they will change anything. We also do not know what Nigma is up to, rumours are saying that Kuro will retire and Miracle will be having another lengthy break and miss out next year due to health issues. | ||

Boom playing finally the way many of them have expected prior the start of the tournament. Live another day... Entity also avoiding their elimination and sending Talon home... | ||

After group stage there is: Top 1 in a group Tied last in the same group Last in another group Second from last in LCQ group Last in other LCQ group To be honest this is surprising as the second NA team performed decently at LANs during the season. | ||

Well they’re always at the top and the bottom :/ But yeah, poor showing from na, not necessarily unexpected though. | ||

Alliance is likely to make a new team from the ground up. So there are plenty of EU options, more about which ones gel and are competitive. | ||

I feel like there could be a giant EU shuffle coming and even if OG doesn't make a huge lower bracket run they may consider mixing things up. Consider also Yapzor may comeback - I can see basically every team changing. Maybe not Tundra depending on how they feel and their TI results. edit: I also feel like there is a dearth of pos 1 players in EU coming up with potentially miracle out, nikobaby doesn't seem interested and matu retiring. Players like Ace and Reso have moved to pos3. iltw has never seemed to gel well into teams. Yuragi/Nisha/Skiter/Crystallis will have huge value next season and there will probably be more EEU/SEA/SA imports for pos1. | ||
