Im just a casual fan , but any team here has a chance to be T1 ? aside from F3 i don't know any of them .....
In that bunch, F3 are indeed the favorite, although a few others could manage to grab the trophy.
The first one would be Heroic. This is gla1ve's former team (before he was picked up by Astralis) and they were really promising, having a few good results with him. Since he left and they brought in Niko they've been disappointing at times (ESWC), promising at others (Northern Arena, that Chinese event they won over Vici).
The other contenders would be Rogue and LDLC, both just ended up in the finals of the ESEA Global Championship, with Rogue winning. Both teams have been slightly on the rise recently. LDLC is now used to reaching the late stages of tier 3 tournaments, while Rogue look like they're finding a nice pace with their last bulgarian pick ups bubble and Victor.
After that you have maybe Fnatic Academy, who's been looking like a decent tier 3 team as well. That jayzar guy of theirs is quite good especially. There's PlesseN on that team, the guy that stood in at first for Olofmeister when he was injured.
For a few others, that's a questionmark. There's Maikelele new team Qwerty, that could surprise. And there's BIG, literally a "budget mouz" (with gob b, LEGIJA, tabseN, nex, and keev who comes from Alternate). They haven't really played yet, with just a 2-1 loss to Mouz in the DreamHack Vegas qualifier.
As for Vega, their biggest feat as of this day is the upset that prevented NiP from going to ELEAGUE. But apart from that... they're low tier, even for that event.
I'd say the finals would end up with Flipsid3 vs Heroic or Flipsid3 vs Rogue. And Flipsid3 favored to win it all.
Hope it helps!
