I think c9 will remain the same level as Notail is a really fucking good support, PLD has been having a few off games and never really found the same form from Kaipi/Speedgaming where he was out of this world.
Misery is the main reason that will stop c9 being a top team, he might have a lot of experience but from people saying his attitude isn't right and I think his time in Alliance wasn't really anything amazing, he was pretty decent with LGD.Int though so who knows he might have found a team that will really let him shine.
EG I think will struggle at the start but will probably become dominant again, I think in some ways it might benefit them as Fear can actually play carry heroes and Sumail will play mid heroes, mason pretty much was restricted to potm, storm spirit, brewmaster on the safe lane whilst rtz played more farming oriented heroes in mid.
Secret seem pretty strong but I think it depends on who plays what role, I'd have to say kky would have to go back to support and have 1. rtz 2. s4 3.zai as I can't really see s4 trying offlane again and zai has experience playing offlane anyway.
I do kinda feel that these changes aren't really making any team that much stronger though, I can't see them really fighting against the top chinese teams but who knows.
Turns out my thoughts on secrets lineup was right (i swear i didnt see the announcement!).
Team Secret
1. Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev
2. Gustav 's4' Magnusson
3. Ludwig 'zai' Wåhlberg
4. Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov
5. Kuro 'KuroKy' Salehi Takhasomi
Only thing that concerns me with Secret now is #1 rtz being in NA and practice times and #2 whether or not Puppey will actually follow the more farmed support role.
