Chronicle? He’s won the most international trophies and on two different orgs and different rosters. That deserves a mention
Chronicle is the most accomplished player in the scene. He deserves a spot on the list at the very least
I'm feeling
SEN -> Lotus
LOUD -> Ascent
Sunset Remains
LOUD should ban either Lotus or Split like you said. I think LOUD are better on Split than they are on Lotus, but i like your picks too. Either way i think this is going to be a gigabanger
i think we have some players in the running like you said, but nobody has that "aura" or resume to have a claim to it yet. TenZ, Less, Chronicle all have a great shot
bc australians are notoriously good readers and all :$
this is how i see this going: GenG beat up PRX -> "GenG is the best team!" -> SEN lose to LOUD (who lost to GenG) -> "GenG are going to win it all!!!" -> LOUD stomp GenG -> SEN beats GenG in a close match -> SEN v LOUD GrandFinal
Edit: going better than planned
Everyone thinks (insert team) is good because they beat this team or that team. That's not how valorant works. it's not rock paper scissors; it's an FPS game, in the wise words of our ancestors. Teams change their picks and bans according to match-ups, it will not be the same just because "they beat (insert team) on this map". More data goes into it than just wins and losses, yet every time someone posts their map pick/bans someone chimes in with "why would they do that? they beat KC on that map". that's not how the process works.
secondly, on GenG: i said they're on fraudwatch bc at this point they have no quality wins in my eyes. based on the stats of their previous opponents, i don't believe that they have had a true test yet. I also believe that TH and KC just imploded rather than PRX being the team that improved overnight. i could be wrong (i am wrong often bc valorant is complex) but i believe that whole heartedly. we'll see in a few short hours :D
also bring back banter. you say one fella is smoking crack and now you're the worst person on earth lol
I'm not seriously trashing you or 100T, just having some banter. I'd love to see 100T be really good as well.
very possible. they're heating up, but i think the level of competition in this tourney is lower than normal. NA's best team got nuked by financials, FNC got griefed by format, etc. loving the tourney tho
So we're smoking crack then immediately posting on VLR now?
Because that which is average, will return to it.

it truly is the generation of the gamer
Finished compiling Round 1 of the Swiss stage. Going to continue updating throughout the rest of the tournament and the rest of the season.
wait so who went to the winner's bracket?
you tell me mortadelo. you seem to know a lot about edaters
SEN were never going to lose to a team with an ex-Fortnite player and two brothers who named themselves like edaters.
Heretics to Karmine Corp and I guarantee you if SEN loses they find themselves against LOUD for playoffs. That would be an insane route to have to overcome, but if the matches are anything like the ones today then we're in for some bangers.
I was watching at work and jumping around like a lunatic. One of the best esports matches I've seen in a while. Heretics are insane and I assume they'll beat most anyone else right now.
just in case it went 3 maps. picked them all just for fun
that was just if fpx won a map. that's why it's in italics.
I corrected GenG's Round Losses to 138 from 99.
That's the average round difference per map
i gave your mother a virus
I didn't get a chance to watch their matches yet but that NET margin is ridiculous. Averaging a 13-9 is wild.

Yeah i know. But i think if they played 10 times right now, LOUD would win 5 or 6 of them. It's really close to me
not to mention loud trolled map veto
Destroyed loud on their first map pick and Lotus as a toss-up. I put LOUD over them because they have a better map pool head-to-head.
LOUD and SEN are neck and neck. LOUD has a couple maps that they are better than SEN on which is why I gave them the edge.
KC looked good and showed good sample size, however they fall behind in my eyes because of the quality in EU right now isn't up to par with where it was last year.
TH looks promising, but would love to see them get some more experience together. If they make it late, watch out.
GEN falls in the rankings because of how weak Pacific is this year. The same goes for PRX. Gen-G looked much cleaner than PRX to me, but I'm not sure if it will hold up against top competition. Great dark horse candidate.
EDG seems sluggish and rusty. This could just disappear when it's time to play in Madrid, but I'm not too hopeful. In KangKang we trust.
