My top 8 prediction:
Viper
Slam
Riut
Jordan
Bacqiofro
Dogao
Chris
Mr Yo
Obviously i would be 1 if i come back and get my best shape, but im too rusty
Alive needs practise to be in shape but that is an understatement.I doubt Alive could even beat Edie in bo5 on FR at the moment 11. He needs a lot of practice before he can even be considered.
kkab was inactive when he came back for wcl7, same for halen.. and they won wcl7 vs riut, dogao, viper, jordan (back then, they were the elite class and nobody thought tyrant would be in shape in a couple of months) . They perfectly understand what pro gamer means and of course they can reach top 10 in a month, what they only need its time. (and im not talkinig about half a year, i mean time to dedicate on a day)anyone who thinks any of the old players who just returned will do well are deluded
it happened in the past that a few old players came back for a big tourney but they never have enough time to practice so they get slaughtered. I would love to see them do well, but they'd need half a year perhaps to really get into good shape and adapt to the new evolved state of the game. Grunt and Halen were carried by Daut and kkab when they came back for some of the team game tournaments, if they came back to a 1v1 tournament the way they played they wouldnt have gone very far at all.
