Indeed,
TSM-C9 are pretty much always going to be in the front line of making it to Worlds, like getting the golden ticket to Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory.
FQ or CLG
I'm honestly torn between the two teams. Hai's shotcalling is no joke and neither is Aphromoo's, both teams look incredibly strong now with Turtle instead of Altec on FQ but the determining factor will be the Dardoch and Huhi situation, we know Huhi isn't the best mid and the mid lane is where most ganks happen, so if Huhi messes up some free kills or ganks I see Dardoch getting pissed, which more than likely will happen.
I'm leaning towards CLG to get that spot between the two teams.
NV - Lira can't win games himself and the team around him looks meh, the are either horrible in the early game so they fix that in the next split but are horrible in the mid/late game and it's just a constant back and fourth with that, where they can't ever seem to find a middle ground in both stages of the game.
TL- Roster looks promising on paper but overall their weaknesses is just too much for me to say they will make it to Worlds; I'd be shocked if they do make it but not holding my breath for that to happen.
DIG- Sometimes you just gotta now what you need to let go to be better even tho Keane has his moments/games he's champion picks in games are worse than TSM's and he's supposed to be the carry for DIG. Ssumday can farm a storm but all that CS means nothing when 75% of the other map are losing laners.
EF- Echo Fox seems to always have some trick under their sleeves but each time I watch them play it's a clown fiesta with like 40 total kills and the way they play is very shaky.
IMT- If anyone wants to know what a E-Sport "rebuilding" looks like, look no further in my opinion.
P1 - Could have easily not have won those 4-5 game series if it wasn't for Meteos and could have not even made it to Playoffs if it wasn't for him so I doubt they will make it but should still have a good split non-less.
