Next week, five teams will play three best-of-twos for a total of nine available points, five will play one best-of-two for a total of three available points, and one team will play two best-of-twos for a total of six available points. As a result, even teams that seem high up in the standings like Snake and Qiao Gu can be dropped.

Naturally, Edward Gaming has secured first seed into the Playoffs.

A lot of shuffling can still happen, and recent roster changes have greatly expanded the list of dark horses. Let's take a look at most likely.

My list of possible teams heading to Worlds has expanded to include Vici Gaming and Invictus Gaming again. Snake and Qiao Gu continue to look varying degrees of competitive. More circuit points make make Invictus Gaming viable. OMG might have the weakest contention, but they can certainly pull a trump card when it comes down to the wire.

LGD look like the second favorite, but if they can't decide on a jungler, their spot isn't secure. No one is questioning that Edward Gaming will make it to Europe.

Vici Gaming's addition of Peng makes me wonder why the organization felt the need to deprive us of him all Summer. He hasn't terribly misplayed a team fight yet, and most of his skillshots are on point. Vici Gaming were capable of a team fight comebacks earlier this week, something they haven't really done all season, making them a serious contender.

Invictus Gaming has found more ways to exert top pressure, but as seen today, teams can counter Zzitai's snowball somewhat easily. Invictus Gaming love their Lulu compositions, but without Lulu they rely more on Zzitai getting ahead in lane. With some jungle pressure and a good top laner (which most top teams have), iG can still crumble before getting off the ground. Even so, a more solidified strategy makes them look much better than two weeks ago.

OMG is probably the biggest mess at the moment. Their top laner and support have limited champion pools. Mixed performances come out of Loveling and Cool. North is still green around the edges. Even so, Gogoing has started to train again. He said fans will still need to wait for him a little longer, but a little longer might mean he comes out in a Game 3 during Playoffs to carry OMG through to Regionals. Even without Gogoing, it's hard to discount OMG's penchant for innovation, like the top lane Nunu, or the opposing team's willingness to leave open Twisted Fate.

Dare I say Cool has gotten better at Azir? Probably not. He looks like he has, but he's likely to flop as soon as I commend him. OMG fans rejoice at the prospect of Patch 5.14.

LGD are down in the standings, and their jungle swapping hasn't done them favors. They still look beautiful when they transition between lanes. Whether they choose TBQ or xiaoxi to play the Playoffs and Regionals will make a difference. The rest of the team generally seems to be on point, and the addition of a new Taiwanese analyst lends them structure. Losing to King is a black mark that every team but Invictus Gaming has experienced.

Snake look crushing, but still need to work out the lane swap kinks. Nothing beats U's late game team fighting, Flandre's oppressive laning phase, or the team's general control of the side waves. Martin isn't magic, but he's a solid cleanup AD carry. The team just seems to work. Their matchup against Qiao Gu, if it happens, should be very revealing, and they're starting to look more and more like the better of the two teams.

Qiao Gu is still fantastic when it comes to late game team fights, but they do better with some strategies than others. Spirit's Nidalee ran them ragged, and it was clear a global pressure composition didn't work as well for them. They still have done well with strange double tank solo lanes, assassin compositions, Ekko, and a variety of tank junglers. Until further notice, it's safe to suspect they're flexing their muscles, but flexing too much might cost them more than they're willing to give up.

Edward Gaming's devastating command of WE in their set suggests no one is knocking them down any time soon. LGD have the best chance if they can improve their cohesiveness, but that's something that sounds like a five game Regional final, if it happens at all.

As for the stragglers, it's a bloodbath to avoid the Promotion Tournament, but none of them will make top three.
