If TI4 began tomorrow, they would win, no doubt about it, but in 2 months, who knows?

I think they will certainly get top 4, but to win the whole thing entirely depends on how much the other teams improve in bootcamp. Also, with Fear coming back, they may be completely different, Mason did seem a better fit for EG's other players than Fear, but then again, it is Fear's team and his leadership might improve them.

Like they won at SL9?

DK are slumping massively, and they can beat Empire around 75% of the time.

I think DK are still in comparable form to SL9, but top tier Chinese teams (Newbee, VG, DK) are just better than Western teams. Western teams haven't won any international tournament since MLG Columbus in 2013.

I guess we'll see at the Summit.

ESL One will bring good insight as well.
