Two of these teams will go to Masters 2. The guard could if they have their Masters 1 form but I don't think so.
Mjtchell [#2]I think Optic #1 100T #2
EG lose to 100T
100T lose to Optic
Eg can't qual cuz they wont face Optic
eg has a chance against 100T and same for 100T with optic, i think if they prep enough they really could beat optic

I have started to think people believe Optic is invincible in NA after their International win. Even though they are very good, there are a few teams in this stage that can put an amazing fight against Optic and even beat them. One of them already did, being EG. It's pretty close between all the teams especially those which I mentioned in the title. And also EG only belonging here as long as they keep their recent form. Ghost and LG also might make a wonderful run to make it, but IMO unlikely. IDK about NRG/Guard with how they have been looking recently. No idea about Faze tbh.
I'm honestly super impressed with 100T, the management is clearly working wonders with their anti-stratting and the roster have taken CONVINCING wins against The Guard, XSET and NRG. If they keep their heads down and can continue to outplay their opposing teams in playoffs they might genuinely make Masters but either way should for sure be locked in for LCQ now.
in the wise words of Asuna, "Nothing is free".

same way people held Sentinels last year after their win, everyone thought a Dynasty was forming and event-by-event things slowly starting going downhill.

Agreed. 100T looks amazing, man. And indeed, Nothing is free.

With how common meta changes are in Valorant, I don't see any team staying at the tippy-top for too long. I am already prepared even if Optic loses and stuff and I'm not being delusional about it. One thing is for sure that even if they lose I'm gonna keep supporting the damn players and the team as long they have that winning passion or whatever in them which you can obviously see in teams. I honestly don't see it in SEN anymore.
