For the first time ever, I do believe the super league will happen. Usually, the super league is floated as a negotiating tactic by the big clubs to get what they what in champions league negotiations but they announced this after the champions league negotiations were completed. It is terrible idea centered around greed but it will happen.

With regards to the other five teams, my guess is that the 54 domestic champions (highest-ranked non-ESL club in the top five leagues) will compete in a qualifying tournament to determine the five spots so that part of the competition will be meritocratic. Realistically this means that Leicester (3rd in the Premier League) would get the EPL's qualifying spot and face a potential path of say Zalgiris (Lithuania),  Cracovia (Poland), and Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) to get in. Highly doable.

P.S. PSG, Dortmund, and Bayern will all cave.

Also, the SL clubs will remain in their domestic leagues and FIFA's threat to ban players from the World Cup will be in vain legally.
