If the teams stay as they are, who will take 1st place in the East next season?

‌It's unlikely, but
(it feels like any team could pick up Shabel right now)
if the teams remain as they are, who will take 1st place in the East next season?
Nongshim, with their scouting finally coming together, has the strength to even aim for the West next year;
Kiwi-Aiming era Kiwoom DRX is also formidable;
and DNS's performance has been completely different since Shabel was brought in.
I also believe Brion has the strength to always contend for 1st place in the East,
so how do you think next season's results will turn out?
-I think Aiming's return to a Western team and Shabel's team movement will be the biggest variables.
If KT truly wants to aim for Worlds, an A-class ADC becomes an absolute necessity.
I'm also curious to see if Deft is looking for a comeback.
