- Optic (very consistent)
- Loud (high potential but easy to be anti-stratted for bo5)
- Fnatic (They need to prove themselves again on global stage)
- DRX (Coulda beat Optic if not that 0.1s defuse)
- FPX (3-0ed by Fnatic but 2 OTs)
- PRX (I think other teams will prepare more for their aggressiveness this time + Jett nerf)
- Xset (First international LAN)
- Guild (3-0ed by FPX)
- Xerxia (close games but falls short again)
- KRU (Hope they come back but there's no competition in their region at all)
- NIP (They aren't bad but can't put them high up for now)
- Nth (sry but not this time JP)

Masters 2 rankings (come back after 1 month)

Marshal_D_Teach [#8]IMO
Fnatic > Optic > LOUD > FPX > DRX > PRX > Guild = Xset > Xerxia = NIP > KRU = NTH
yes if it was online but Fnatic have a very young player with 0 LAN experience so I don't think they will win the whole thing yet. FPX will lose ANGE1 most likely too
Hecking_Love_Tenz [#9]yes if it was online but Fnatic have a very young player with 0 LAN experience so I don't think they will win the whole thing yet. FPX will lose ANGE1 most likely too
Fnatic has lan exp im not worried about them perhaps alfajer but that only it i agree with FPX with ANGE1 not going they not favorites at all.

I don't think top 1 team always win, tho. IMO Gambit on champions were top 1, but they were unluko in the finals.
Kiklop [#6]I'll split these teams to 3 groups where they can place anywhere. 1-4 5-8 9-12 then I would agree with u
W
kapteN [#18]fnatic on number 1. Their form is unbeatable rn
hard to say when european performance was so dogshit last tournament
KoreanOverlord [#14]NTH too low, theyre stronger than xerxia and xset
I'd put them all on the same tier
kristof [#5]stopped reading at optic
Yeah we know you are so dumb that you can't understand shit and hence not read anything
As a guy who watches a decent chunk of Valorant, and not just NA :
The True Contenders
-
Fnatic. BCJ just said "We have two players nobody else i the world has: Cryocells and Zekken". Welp. Ever watched the Avengers? This is the "I have a Army" moment. Fnatic has Alfajer and Derke. They are XSET++. Every position is arguable better than XSET is, but their two frag-masters are suprior. Fnatic losing Masters is an Upset.
-
Loud. Trust me. No team has dominated their region like Loud. This is a true super team, and can very well beat anybody, even Fnatic. They are number 2 because, well, they and Fnatic have something to prove. Both cores have been to masters before, and each squad has gotten second. They have a lot of motivation to win.
-
OpTic. Won last masters. LANimals. They can beat the two above, but why are they three? All they have pushing them is staying the best, and we all know, staying the best is way harder than becoming it. That is the sole reason they are 3, they just lack an extra UMPH to win it all, back to back.
-
FPX. Zyppan. Go. Kill. If that motherfuck decides to kill, he team is running away from 5 and way closer to 1. They can EASILY have the ability to beat OpTic, Fnatic and Loud. Why are they 4 then? Ange1, Shao, and Suygetsu are all involved with the european thing going on that I don't know if I can mention. I've heard tons of rumors regarding the three, notibly the IGL in Ange1's, ability to participate and travel to masters. On top of that, despite their dominance this is their first major. Between nerves and availibility it can send them spirallling downwards, but if they play OH LORD WILL THEY PLAY.
===========
"Got a great chance" Tier :
- DRX. This could be Korea's time. If something happens with FPX they are a true competator. Just slightly outside of the top 4 IMO. Also, they didn't drop a map in Korea during stage 2.
- PRX. If Forsaken can contenue his APAC form into masters, they are a very VERY important team to watch. Between Their fragging, and their additional improvement over stage 2, they can make a serious run if F0rsaken, Jingg, and d4v41 show up fragging wise. Plus funny walkouts!
===========
Hot Virgins tier :
7 and 8. Guild and XSET. It's their first lan. Younger squads. Just looking to get out LAN nerves from a champs run. They can of course do damage, but it'll be a suprise if they pull serious thing out against the teams above them.
===========
Maybe playoffs tier : - Xerxia : it's Xerxia. they might do it with their experience. There is a chance. a chance
- NIP. Idk maybe.
- NTh. Again, idk maybe.
============
LATAM tier : - Leviatan. Prove me wrong fuckers.

I like it overall! However, I will say Optic definitely have that extra UMPH, and they just had a rough time against XSET this one match. Don't think anyone should count them out (altho they're definitely losing to Xerxia)
kyrielight [#21]hard to say when european performance was so dogshit last tournament
What performance? Fnatic played with 2 standins, FPX wasn't there despite winning EU and a 4th place finisher had to come into it unprepared?
Really not anything to measure the region by

Unbeatable overall
(24/25 matches won)

(wins 7 maps and losses just 1)
(If optic hadn't existed, it comes down to (50W/3L in maps))

THESE NUMBERS ARE INSANE, AND NO OTHER TEAM IS EVEN CLOSE.
