If there are no global changes, then the most stable teams in this patch are Pvision and Team Yandex. I think one of them has a good chance, especially PV, because Satanic shows an unreal zone.

I think OG. These are hardworking guys who can prepare well for a tournament, use their meta and playstyle.

If I were still playing at the pro level, I would join Team Spirit, because I have a lot of respect for Yatoro and Collapse as players.
