Open Predictions

Open preds as of 4/20 (A bit biased, most of this is from playing against these teams in scrims/matches)
1) Goldman Sachs - I think this team is going to go huge. Their upgrade to dflame is my main reason for this. As long as dflame doesn't ruin the playstyle that they had prior to the pickup, I think they can triumph against every team during playoffs. But yeah, I'd watch out for everyone on this team as they all have good dm. Combined with Slin's calling, I don't think they can be contested in open. The only downfall of this team is probably when Slin get's frustrated from someone not doing the right thing. I actually haven't checked on his stream to see if he still gets angry at his teammates since he played with Owl but who knows, his rage could just fuck up the mood of things. PS I'll still never forgive you for ending v3kz's career!!
2) Arizona Iced Out Boys - Honestly, this team isn't sandbagging as hard as people think. They seem to just have fun and coincidentally, they're outdming open. I think anyone in my top 8 has a chance to beat them by the time playoffs comes by, although it will be difficult and require a lot of refining.
3) SYOPS - I think my team will be around here. We're starting to play together a bit more and become more coordinated as a team. We shouldn't have any problems as long as we have no roster/server issues and scrim regularly.
4) cafe monster - This team was pretty underrated at the beginning of the season. Honestly, this team can go places. All of their players are solid and I think they're really coordinated. I was actually surprised how much presence their flank has after playing them. They could possibly turn some heads if they keep up their solid play right now.
5) The  Grime - This team consists of some pretty solid players. They have solid teamfights and all and I think that's leading to most of their success right now. However, I think their play can be sloppy at times and that's probably why they didn't take the win from us on granary.
After this point, it got really hard to decide between who deserves these spots so here they are:
6) tony jawk 44 kickflip - This is a team that I've actually played with so I might also be biased when I put them at 6. This team is pretty good. Reimu and Newspeak work really well together as a flank and I think this team and like two other teams (Goldman and Cafe) have scout combos to be afraid of. Also, Dashner was a beast when I played with him so assuming he still has it in him, tony jawk has a pretty sick flank. Their combo is also pretty solid as Redban and Atomsk have pretty killer dm. One reason that I'm not putting them in a higher spot is because they have occasional roster issues and I don't think they're as organized as some of the other teams in open.
7) http://i.imgur.com/2P1A3UC.png (The Rill Dill) - This team probably has the best combo in open. Rill and extracrispy are good at dealing a ton of damage and combined with the work of Fathom, Ajit, and Bosh, they are pretty scary to fight alone unless you have a deathwish (like me). Honestly I think this team could prove me wrong and do even better if they get more coordinated and do things at the same pace (I noticed people going in at different times during our match on multiple occasions, which is my reasoning for saying this, it might even be on purpose so I could be wrong, someone from the team confirm/deny for me).
8) Blocknado vs Bloctopus - I have no idea what happened in their last couple of matches but they seem to be losing it. They had really good coordination and during the beginning of the season, they were beating us, the Rill Dill, etc., and now they seem to be on a losing streak. I don't really keep up with their roster and such but for whatever reason, they just lose matches that I think they could have won if they played said team at the beginning of the season. I believe that they can get their shit together by the end of the season and squeeze into 8th place though.
