AO should do alright actually. You forgot about fluaxon, not sure if hes playing though. If he does play, they have a shot at LAN. If not I don't think they'll make it, although they can still win a good amount of matches imo.
You forget to check all the roster shakeups. That being said...
Modus doesn't have a chance. The only player that is invite material on that team is demos and apparently he isn't even playing anymore. XAN3 is pretty good too, but I doubt they will get more than 4 wins.
Same with D7, they completely mixed up their lineup for some reason, pretty stupid considering all those players put in so much time to try to get to invite, and when they finally make it they don't even play. Makes no sense. No chance they will make it to LAN.
Abunch/Max Effort/UMX will be there for sure, no doubt. Probably mSpaz aswell.
The last two spots are going to be a fight between AO, DC, DESiRE, HRG, ttb and sapphire.
HRG replaced spyro (perez) with hightower, which imo isn't a good shakeup, and might hurt their chances a little.
DC has a decent shot, but I don't think they'll make it without a better 5th player. SanD is good, but not that good.
ttb would have a better shot with mikezor, but they still have a solid chance.
DESiRE is a true dark horse this season, if the 4 asians + phantuz play then I think they will make LAN. HAN's aim is just too fucking good.
sapphire has a good a shot as any, but for some reason I don;t think they will play as much as last season, they will probably focus more on GO, but who knows
I would say the last two spots go to HRG and DESiRE, but we shall see.
Should be a good season :)
