I could see that happening honestly. Heroic is decent and Epsilon seems to be finding their form again online after rough patch, HR also did some damage in their last event so maybe they can surprise also. Rest of the teams seem really iffy though, Space soldiers had some good results but they have seemed out of form now, ENCE is big mess and late form doesn't give much hope for them either, alternate on lan xD, LDLC seems to lack level of play to make it...
