gonna be close, i think cypher, rapha, cooller, av3k, strenx can all compete for the win and stermy, spart1e, fazz (maybe even dahang and k1llsen) are able to cause an upset ot two
Strenx is the favorite for me. While most players focused on tdm practises he kept playing duel most of the time. He also practised toxicity A LOT so I'm guessing he will be beating everyone on the map.
rapha and cooller are always great, especially on big tournaments...
av3k was a beast recently, raping every single guy with gl :X ... Strenx fazz spartie stermy kilsen - aim whores are always dangerous... However im sure cypher will not win... No reasons, but he wont.
I would like to see mr 3rd place winning, but i guess hes still to young in top scene to take 1st place
i know a lot ppl thinks that fazz can't make his group but still almost every game vs fazz on iem were very close and he playing a lot tdm/duel so he might show some good resaults imo. :)
I think Cypher is still not in the best shape. Rapha is top contender obviously. But I would like to see av3k taking 1st place
P.S. And Cooller should perform either good even without much of training
