It is odd, but....

I am more curious about the new TSM than the actual events at Worlds right now. Mostly because I am in NA and follow NA teams over the rest, but also because i think nothing unusual/ unpredicted will happen at Worlds. IMO, the most likely outcome will be SKT defeating Origen in the finals. and the analyst desk and many of the casters seem to agree. So when I heard the news that TSM is currently a 2 man team, it immediately took my attention. So much potential now can come from NEW TSM with the addition of 3 new players. My prediction is that the early spring split will show a mid tier level TSM strength and communication wise but will improve greatly towards the end as they develope those in game skills that will smooth out the rough spots.

The issue with constantly changing your roster around is it takes time for the team to build synergy. Some people hit it off while others may need several weeks or even months to learn to work together. I personally think it's insane how often players come and go on these pro teams. Sports differ of course in how much team synergy truly matters, but in this game, where all 5 players have the ball at all times, it matters.

"IMO, the most likely outcome will be SKT defeating Origen in the finals" They'll meet in the Semifinals (SKT and Origen are in the same bracket). Then it would be SKT vs. Fnatic/KOO/KT/EDG

It's going to come down to SKT vs FNC in the grand finals with SKT winning Worlds, bet.

Hoping Fnatic makes it to the finals, but not holding my breath either.

I really don't see them not making it to finals, they're playing pretty god tier this year.

It will be hard for TSM. They will be a new team next year.

CLG should do well next year if they keep the same lineup(or minor change). CLG I am not a fan of is a team that should rise next year on their own merit unlike this year.

C9 is also in a hard spot you saw how well they did this year it could be just as bad.
