So the first one,
Obviously JDG - most expensive roster in league history, arguably the best 5 players in the game rn put together, the best chance anyone had for a golden road since SKT or G2
Then T1 - Two years of heartbreaks and coming back from an especially hard summer.
DWG - Showmaker and Canyon will have to rebuild their legacy, Deft has been vocal about helping them win worlds again. might be another Deft MC angle.
BLG - JDG son so far, kinda like IG
G2 - lost their Golden Road chance to IG in finals, 5 years ago, in Korea.
KT - looked like the best team in the world at points this summer, choked to T1 in a BO5 anyway. Can probably win if someone else knocks out T1.
