miss xue / NO_23 last played AOC in like 2016/2017 we have 2018 and this tournament is with WK.... unlikely that he will even be used in my opinion it seems weird that they even signed up with him if the guy doesn't play at all.. sure he used to be 2k3+ 3 years ago... but does that even matter nowadays ?



Moonlight/Xiaoxiong are like 2k1 on their best days and really didn't play much in the past two years and they barely played WK as well, a player like Whoop or Xiaofan some actual 2k3+ WK players (1v1 at least) would have made much much more sense to pick in my opinion just for the talent and skill alone. What happend to jibatong ? He at least played as recent as the nations cup, was 2k3+ in 1v1 and played a ton of games with SY, it seems odd that they didn't just get him back. I think he even has played a few WK games here and there.



I'm kinda dissappointed we won't get to see a yo/lyx + vivi/tim team for this tournament... the rated games they played looked promising.



But this means we will get to see a tim,vivi,happyhappy,straydog + maybe whoop/geoffrey or xiaofan team which can be strong and should be the chinese team to lookout for. With tim/vivi they got 1v1 monsters that can beat pretty much anybody apart from viper and liereyy on a good day, they should do amazing in 2v2 and 3v3 and for 4v4 they will have a stronger team than SY unless xiaoxiong and moonlight suddenly learn all about WK and improve their skill level by a lot.



two chinese teams,tyrant,aM,brazil,vietnam,finland that's 7 teams who can beat any of the other 2k1ish teams out there they should all make it through.



The competition for the 8th spot should be incredibile with all the other 2k+ teams
