XLG keeps huffing on the fumes of 2025 for a bit, but then fades into obscurity. Think Trace from last year, and you have XLG.

Not even all the gamers can save All Gamers.

Exactly like Varrel if they were just a tad worse.

Serves as Pacific's gatekeeper team, nothing much more.

The gatekeeper team between shit tier and mid tier. Still doesn't know how to win 13 rounds and chokes away multiple matches just like last year, but to slightly worse teams this time.

good god they're shite

GE has a pretty good run in 2026 and makes 2 internationals, but doesn't achieve too much at either of them. Still, GE's best year by far. They somehow win Stage 2 Pacific as well.

Somewhat fades into obscurity as they just don't do anything in 2026.

The only genuinely good Chinese team, and by a long shot. Unlike other years, where the Chinese teams peaked at certain tournaments, DRG is good throughout the year and could be slotted into the S-tier internationally. No titles, but makes an international grand final.

EXTRA PREDICTION: No partner team wins Stage 2 - the winner is Rare Atom coming from Tier 2. Rare Atom goes out in groups for Champs, however.

last place

i think that they will do good

xeus will be better this year

THEY ARE WINNING IT ALL

THEY WILL BE THE GREATEST TEAM OF ALL FUCKING TIME

SYLVAN AND TENTEN CEMENT THEMSELVES AS THE KOREAN GOATS BY GETTING ALL OF THE MVP AWARDS

KELLYS AND JESSIEVASH BECOME ONE OF THE GREATEST IGLS AND CALLERS TO EVER DO IT

BERSERX SURPASSES TOKYO ALFAJER IN CHILE
BERSERX SURPASSES CHICHOO BANGKOK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
BERSERX SURPASSES SEOUL ZMJJKK IN CHINA

RBTX BECOMES THE GREATEST COACH OF ALL FUCKING TIME, PROVING THAT TEAM GOATCRET DOESN'T NEED AN ASSISTANT COACH

Manages to fluke an astonishing 9th-10th place in Stage 1.
But tbh, when 4 of your players' names all start with the letter 's', who is actually going to remember this team?

A shining symbol of how shit EMEA is in 2026.

Genuinely the worst year of all time. Wins 2 maps across the year, one against ZETA, and the other against a random mid-tier team. Several of their matches are investigated by Riot for match fixing, including their match against PRX where the entirety of Secret gets less than 35 combined kills across both maps.

lol

crws comes back to igling

stage 1 will be a fluke

Shows bursts of promise throughout the year, but only stays good as a regional team - doesn't do much internationally.

The great tragedy of 2026. Loses in every qualification match for every stage, and due to a lack of group stage victories compared to other Pacific teams, somehow manages to fail to qualify for Champs on points. Probably would've been better than a good chunk of the teams that actually made it to internationals.

Starts off badly, losing 3 qualification matches in a row to miss Santiago. Makes it to London but does badly. After some roster moves, one of which is BABYBAY, makes a generational run at Champs, beating PRX in the grand final on Map 5 22-20.

Side prediction for Champions Shanghai: In strong contrast to Masters London which was criticised for being terrible, this is the best tournament of all time in terms of production, match quality and scale. The opening ceremony during the Grand Finals is unmatched, and the match itself is excellent.

eh

A team that comes out of nowhere during Stage 1 to win China regionals. Is very forgettable.

A complete enigma of a team as they consistently lose extremely close matches that frequently go to OT. Could have been a great EMEA team, but the results absolutely do not show it.

They're an alright Chinese team, but 'alright' for this region doesn't cut it at all in the only international they make.

They're slightly better than 2025, which is to say they're still pretty fucking terrible with a few wins to hide that truth. Meiy is still a god.

good lord

Like if C9 were slightly less aggressively disappointing, and were just a regular level of mid-to-shit.

interesting roster but realistically I would be surprised if they get anything better than 7th

I mean pacific is just that competitive that teams like ZETA and TS "lack firepower" to compete with other insane duelists

with way stronger rosters this year, I won't be surprised if GX does get last in champs this year

ngl this is probably their ceiling bc americas is so competitive

they will struggle in kickoff but will be better towards the end of the season

the DRX of Pacific

bruh moment

they will struggle a bit in stage 1 but they manage to hang on in stage 2

ZETA wins exactly 3 matches in 2026 - 2 against Team Secret, and 1 against T1, winning 13-7, 13-2. The rest of the year goes about how you'd expect.

The best EMEA team of 2026. Highest placement is 3rd at London, which isn't a great sign for EMEA as a whole. Could definitely be considered the bottom of S-tier, but no more than that.

i mean, yknow, well, i guess, maybe

Will compete again EDG as the 4th best Chinese team

Look competitive at times and very lost majority of the time

Comeback will underperformed before finding his form and will be a top duelist by the end of the year

Won’t make an international and someone gets bench midway

Pressure will get to them of being a Korean super team and see DH promoted to main roster again
