Although I agree on most of your speculation but I still believe on Team Liquid and Outsider will show an impressive run on this Majors not just because they win the top spot with there respctive DPC region but because there DPC points is still a bit short to qualified winning this majors or having a top spot will give them enough points to secured spot on TI.
This is enough motivation to win this major compared to OG, LGD and other top teams that already secured TI spot and also the prize pool here is not much huge.

Complete Tundra and Liquid are the best team in the league that can rival LGD. LGD got beaten badly by Team Secret on Riyadh so they are not unbeatable if they fight the right team that has a consistent play. Team Spirit is out of gas after they manage to beat Team Secret on a close fight. The finals on Riyadh should be best of 5 so that team can have a chance to recover on an early deficits. LGD and other teams that secured TI might not give 100% here since the DPC points is the highlights of the rewards for this Major. Westill have 1 week of waiting.
PSG. LGD won the Riyadh tournament with relative ease. They looked like a complete team that could beat anyone in their best of forms. Just beautiful dota to watch and they werent trying to go through some broken strats as some teams like to use to win games. They should be the favs again. They did lose 2-0 to Team Secret and they did drop a game vs OG and Nigma Galaxy but still I never had a doubt that they'd end up losing in the decider. They are a level above everyone else at the moment. you could say that they probably don't need DPC points but money/Prizepool is enough of a motivation to do well in the tournament. It is a tier 1 Tournament.

I am expecting those who needs DPC points to step up. Maybe team Spirit can win this tournament this time. They lost to LGD in Riyadh, maybe they want to make a comeback here.
Team Spirit just finished 3rd place on the list DPC Tounament in EEU while most of the teams in WEU is not completed on Riyadh Master tournament. Most of the powerhouse team in every region didn't enter on Riyadh Master while LGD and Team Spirit has a complete line-up that's why they manage to be on the finals/ I believe a different story will happened on Majors because there's a lot at stake in there because of the DPC points which is crucial for TI.
Too bad for FNATIC. It is already too hard to win in this tournament with a complete lineup. what more with 3 stand ins. I am considering them out of this tournament.
Do you think Ceb will play again for OG on this majors?
I love to see him play again but isn't he already retired? And I think OG young players need more exposure going to TI.

What the hell happened to Fnatic. They have enough time to take care of there Visa and yet they let this happened to them while they need this DPC points badly for there TI ticket. This is very careless of there manager because he assume that they can get the visa easily without any research. This is very sad to see miss this big opportunity to get DPC points. I think they will get substitute from PH players that didn’t have a chance to go on this major like players of T1.

I will update later once odds is available already on sportsbet
Note:
1 Fnatic will be allowed to participate with three substitutes as the main roster encountered difficulties obtaining US visas.
2 Xtreme Gaming withdrew from the tournament.
3 Pure is unable to attend the major, SabeRLight- will stand-in.
4 Q is unable to attend the major, Xepher will stand-in.[13]
5 DarkMago is unable to attend the major, Alone will stand-in.
6 Valqui is unable to attend the major, Accel will stand-in.
7 Ghost is unable to attend the major, ana will stand-in.
8 Misha and Chuvash are unable to attend the major, Ceb will stand-in.
9 Quincy Crew is signed by Soniqs.
Most of the teams here is on complete roster except Fnatic which has 3 players is not available due to Visa issue as stated on the note. I wonder if PSG LGD can still dominate this league while there's a lot of new strong teams that is now available to compete with them.
