heres mine :
(in no specific order)
Group A - Guard Xset 100T and NRG
Group B - c9 optic faze and LG
what r urs ?
juno_VLR [#2]100t beaten twice by tsm but qualify over them, intriguing
Even more reason to beat them now
Group A:
XSET
The Guard
NRG Esports
100 Thieves
NRG is looking really good with Ethan being added on, and 100 Thieves is showing significant improvements in such little time making me believe they are able to qualify for playoffs.
Group B:
C9
OpTic
FaZe
EG/LG
no specific order, these games will be close too
gweees [#6]100T has been so overrated recently TSM and the Guard are way better
dnt forget faze and nrg, everyone sleeping on this team
tonyhart7 [#7]dnt forget faze and nrg, everyone sleeping on this team
faze was a fluke, looked like they were trying their hardest to qualify and still barely did, if that's them at their best optic playing badly would beat them
NRG have 2 or so players who don't take it serious enough to get to VCT and even if they do they can't practice enough before it to properly compete imo
A
TGRD
XSET
100Thieves
NRG (Purely because tsm and ghost aren't meant to be there)
B
(the group which actually looks like it's a vct tourney)
1st optic/c9
2nd optic/c9
3rd Sentinals (i wouldn't rate them so highly but i feel like even at their worst they can beat luminosity eg and faze)
4th, Depends, Either EG or Faze, Depends who wants it more, both level teams and EG just changed a lot, different approach takes time to get used to but it also confuses teams you've always played against (jawgemo on jett)
CTG [#4]Even more reason to beat them now
u mean more reason to predict tsm will beat them because they did it last two time

They just lost to faze & lg “at their worst” and faze was also a week old roster at that point
Omega_lul [#12]They just lost to faze & lg “at their worst” and faze was also a week old roster at that point
LG had 1 player pos 23 having the game of his life in last map, hardly an accurate representation of something which can be recreated

TGRD were also a new roster when they came into the scene and although they were new they got far in vct, people couldn't fight them and didn't know what they were gonna do, that doesn't make them consistent or good yet, they still need to prove themselves again this year, because frankly the second optic fought them once they lost consistency against them, now that t1 teams have some of faze's plays, it'll be different, how different is down to whether the teams think they are a threat or not.

kinda surprised you don't have xset there
Ahmed_Fadel [#11]u mean more reason to predict tsm will beat them because they did it last two time
Let us not forget that 100t was so close to 2-0ing tsm in the lower bracket finals of stage 2 challengers 1
banj0man [#18]We'll see just a hunch but in all honesty with more matches 100T and TSM look better and better. XSET will face 100T in week 3, and TSM in week 5. I also think NRG are looking really strong with the addition of Ethan.
I agree but i feel like we haven't seen xset in a little while and they were really good last time we saw them and they probably got better. I think in the end it is going to be between 100t and TSM to qualify and not qualify.

close but they didnt
bonkbonk [#14]LG had 1 player pos 23 having the game of his life in last map, hardly an accurate representation of something which can be recreated
LG has been consistently t1 for a long while, they are a lot better than people act like they are
unknown_trash [#23]Let us not forget that 100t was so close to 2-0ing tsm in the lower bracket finals of stage 2 challengers 1
lets not forget what finally happened
-morte- [#28]LG has been consistently t1 for a long while, they are a lot better than people act like they are
They are good but they are not t1 and haven't been consistently there.
unknown_trash [#23]Let us not forget that 100t was so close to 2-0ing tsm in the lower bracket finals of stage 2 challengers 1
Close coz TSM let them get back in, it could’ve easily been a 13-7 on icebox
Literally went A 6 rounds in a row coz Sean gares got no other strats
bonkbonk [#9]faze was a fluke, looked like they were trying their hardest to qualify and still barely did, if that's them at their best optic playing badly would beat them

i cant even tell if this is satire or not
nayakshubham [#29]lets not forget what finally happened
Yes, they lost in double ot. That is close for me and any normal person.

Your name suits you.
-morte- [#28]LG has been consistently t1 for a long while, they are a lot better than people act like they are
where does this have anything at all to do with my point, at all, i didn't bring up their ranking or how "good they are", I brought up the fact they are inconsistent and can hardly win a match in vct, because they are playing against other people as good as them and they crumble under pressure unless mada is there to carry them through the pressure and keep their heads calm, They win hardly any "big games", like their run now they beat v1 and sen to qualify, both arguable inconsistent as well, sen are just playing badly but v1 just messed up and couldn't play very well against them, that doesn't mean they are a team which consistently wins, they lose against teams like complexity and tsm randomly while they play, that's not a "consistent t1 team" a consistent t1 team would playing badly beat tsm and complexity, u wouldn't ever see optic losing to them, u wouldn't ever see c9 losing to them, u wouldn't see gambit losing to them, they are consistent t1 teams, gambit questionable right now, but still
nayakshubham [#34]Your name suits you.
yes, very original, start insulting my name once you know you lost this argument. just admit you lost this one KEKW.
juno_VLR [#2]100t beaten twice by tsm but qualify over them, intriguing
I feel like 100T is improving at a much faster rate than TSM currently, Even though the previous matches were won by TSM I feel like 100T beats TSM in their current form. Might be Copium but I don't think the 100T who lost to TSM wins this dominantly against the previous NA top seed.
CTG [#30]They are good but they are not t1 and haven't been consistently there.
Are you serious? They’re constantly in the biggest tournaments, making playoffs and upsetting really good teams. They beat V1 last playoffs, and have always been decent
