Eh I'd say it's a 3 way race between TSG, DPG and KZ.

I think that would depend on the format and how much it lets single players carry

I dunno, this being online and what not, having Cure seems like a win condition. Let alone the fact that they also have Dark, PartinG and one of the best performing Chinese players of last year's CTC. Quality wise they're the team to beat.
TSG's Chinese player slot is extremely downgraded as well without Nice. In general they'll be missing herO, having a good Protoss is clutch. They need the format to work in their favor.
Kaizi players aren't reliable anyway

The rumors about TIME:
It is said that TIME's contract with Newbee will be ended in July, 2020.
However, in theory, TIME can leave it earlier if necessary.

Surprised to see no Jin Air

Jin Air cited military service issues, probably that might leave them shorthanded in the very near future?

So basically that would mean sOs and Rogue have their services coming up relatively soon? Or maybe Trap?

This looks very nice, stacked teams galore.
