While there are always the consistent top teams, I never find them the most interesting in the off season. Here are the teams I think have some solid potential, and oughta be fun to watch.

NA LCS

Echo Fox: This team will either soar high into playoffs, or crash and burn. Chock full of talented players with tendencies to flame and tilt, this team has to be fun to watch, at their best and their worst.

Golden Guardians: Most people are counting this team out from the get go, which is honestly fair. However, I believe all these players have fantastic potential and seeing success from a full NA roster would be a beautiful thing with how stacked the league is this split.

EU LCS

Vitality: I love this old Giants roster, plain and simple. This roster has a ton of personality with Gilius, as well as representing 5 different countries, and having more talent then most people may expect.

Splyce: Splyce has made a mini EU super team this split, as well as coaching upgrades. While all of these players have been close to championships in the past, I believe they have a better chance at taking at all this split then ever before.

LCK

BBQ Olivers: While most LCK rosters stayed stagnant this offseason, BBQ picked up a better jungler and made a real contender of a bot lane by grabbing a better support to pair with Ghost. Prepare to raise your cocks.

Kingzone: I don’t think most top teams are interesting, but Kingzone has truly made a better version of 2016 ROX now. Longzhu was already strong last season, save the SSG upset in worlds, now they’re even scarier.

LPL

FunPlus Phoenix: The carcass of Newbee made a solid roster. NB’s solid botlane stays and they added a flashy toplaner as well as a promising jungler. This team should cause some upsets, or at least look cool losing.

EDward Gaming: Again, I’m not generally interested in top teams. But EDG shored up a weakness in top lane that they’ve had for years, and iBoy has such a high ceiling that this team has so much room to grow better. Which is saying something since they already won last summer.

LMS

J-Team: I don’t think the LMS will tread water internationally until someone can beat FW or AHQ, and JT has been nipping at their heels. LilV looked great on RG and Fofo really displayed his talent all last year. The loss of Bebe is sad, but this team has another chance to crack top 2 this split.

Hong Kong Attitude: Being the absolute worst major region team at world was a blight on the org’s name, but in my opinion they picked up improvements this season. Now that they have a jungler thats actually a jungler and picked up a solid mid laner in Chawy, this team should be able to bloom earlier than the worlds gauntlet this year.
