This GST gonna be lit yo, too much shiz happening, here my predictions, with a little description about each team.
1- Deicide- Ik it's controversal putting them here but these guys can win the whole thing, they have both Eko and Dae who have very strong delay, but there overall team is full of teamwork and great defense, so I see them being able to beat Alumni in final (or earlier depending on bracket) 3-1 or 3-2 if Sarah manages to go god mode and kills everyone, but Sarah's inexperience in mix, John's guilt of abandoning Entity and RM's wreckless rushing will cost Alumni the belt.
2- Alumni- Will be the 2nd best team out there behind Deicide, with most of Deicides members being former or current Alumni members, and Alumni's new members not having worked with them much before, I think they'll still get far but will fall 2nd place, in a very close showdown, interesting to see if they can keep their mixed streak alive, especially after Thallen said for 3 months that he wasn't doing GST then decides last min cos apparently Sarah didn't wanna do iDev lol.
3rd- GTEAM/Holy, seen both these teams beat eachother a few days ago at belle lately with GTEAM coming out on top due to Holy's lack of practice and chilled back attitude. Both teams when they faced eachother had only 3-4 cores sparring eachother, would love to see a 5v5 between both teams 5 cores so we know exactly who is better this season. Holy's team remains mostly unchanged this season with 1-2 new additions and some people switching around, but GTEAM, even tho I am not a fan of them, are also looking pretty solid with a few changes in their team i think also the inclusion of a new underrated player but I'm not too sure as well as 1 person being taken out, but they have been somewhat practicing and I think if they get put with Holy at GST, it will be close the whole way.
4th- GTEAM/Holy
Not doing GST, but the way things look now, I might compete.
