In the west, G2 Esports and Cloud9 look like two of the strongest teams to ever play in their respective regions. G2 just recently lost to FunPlus Phoenix in the 2019 World finals while a North American team has never made it out of the semi-finals. With the lack of international competition, the chaos caused by COVID-19, and the Asian teams just looking weaker than usual, this could be the west's chance to finally secure themselves a ti
