2. It's hard to tell since many of the best players are still involved with or on break from Worlds. My inclination is that the jungle changes have made it so difficult that it will greatly limit the champion pool useful there. This probably won't affect pro players much since the niche picks are mostly used in solo queue anyway. The good news is, we should expect to see a ton of variation and new strategies as people experiment with the new routes and objective changes. I don't think it will change the FoTM pool size, but it should offer variety in play style and adaptation.
