And boy, this TI has not even "started" yet and it feels like it is going to be the spiciest one to date!
EG will break apart – but what will it be? Will it finally be Bulba or will rtz be let go or look for another team himself like before? Will they keep repeating the same thing and just trade out pos 3/5?
Thundra's story entirely depends on this TI – they had some results after Fata left but will it be enough or not?
Secret is going down, the question is how hard – will Puppy keep playing? If he does, will Nisha stick around or search for some other place? Will Puppey give Crysta a chance and build a new young bloods roster?
Liquid – Matu will be gone, who will fill the spot? Will zai stick around? Will Boxi and Micke still be believed in?
Nigma – commended for their durability but nobody will be able to trust in Kuro after all of these, his flaws became apparent in TI8 True Sight and TI10 one shows an ever bigger contrast in how teams are being led in other places. There are 4 high-profile players to pick from, where will they go and what will they do? Sumail is sort of being given up on by others and MC does not have as much presence as before among offlaners, only Miracle and GH will probably stay as a party.
EEU/NA – so much shuffling around will happen as it always does, it is harder to care when they do it all the time but now NA has shown some interesting teams with EG going down andEEU with TS going up so Navi/VP have become interesting (as in, will they have their redemption arks or not).
LGD – FB will be gone, maybe someone else follows too like y' and maybe Ame. It would be sad to see them fall apart but like Nigma, time can ruin things (but unlike Nigma, if they win, they may lose motivation to play).
China – will they reignite their Elephant dreams or will they try to follow EU's example of the new blood?
Overall, new players are replacing the old ones – who will build around new talents? Who will try to make it work with the old ones? Find out on the next episode of DBZ.
