How is NA going to do at champs

I think XSET is underrated

Xset - 0-2
Optic - Make playoffs but go out early
100T - Top 4

Xset - 0-2
Optic - Make playoffs but go out early
100T - Top 4

I can see that happening

idk about XSET
100T will go for sure to playoffs
Optic can show a good performance

I think 100T are better than XSET but 100T have to beat DRX and XSET have to beat KRU/xerxia

surely optic beat an eu team this time

idk because you would believe them doing well, but at the same time NA has only been OpTic for like past year. Last time any other NA team did anything was when C9 got out of groups.

optic i expect 3rd-6th but they can make finals too
100t 1-2 but small chance they upset DRX
xset probably the biggest unknown of the 3, they can make it out groups but could also go 0-2

i dont see 100t or xset making it further than 6th-5th place

Kru and Xerxia both > Xset

We've seen this in the past, the teams that don't come from LCQ or do good in the event prior to champs will do good. I can see XSET being very good just because of the fact nobody has vods on them atm and the fact Cryo and Zekkan are great on LAN. I think 100T will do good also, they have the best coaching staff in the tournament and they are going against strat heavy teams(I see 100t qualifying through LB). Optic is a wild card but if they can reinvent themselves in the 2 weeks Bootcamp(Using new comps and changing tendencies) they will be good because they have the fragging for it.

Xsrt will surprise.
Optic will fall
100 thieves will do a Cinderella run and go really further but will fall like simp falls for a woman.

Optic at least semis, definitely capable of winning it all.
Xset and 100T both 2-0 in groups but out first round of playoffs.

I don't think you know what a pimp is lol

i know for a fact that if 2 of them make it to playoffs they will play each other in the first round

Worse than MENA, and MENA aren't even at champions

XSET:Top 3

100T: Top 2

XSET top 4*

.

Optic makes playoffs, LSet gets grouped, 100t wins Champs

why are so many people underrating optic all of a sudden

bonkashi [#2]

Xset - 0-2
Optic - Make playoffs but go out early
100T - Top 4

recency bias i think

100T 2-0, Optic 2-1, XSET 1-2

HECCIN_LOVE_TENZ [#28]

why are so many people underrating optic all of a sudden

cuz they havent beaten a single eu team yet

100T 0-2
XSET 1-2
OpTic 1-2 (maybe to playoffs)

stop using drugs

XSET is underrated. Zekken is gonna go off this LAN i can feel it. NA as a whole is making it out of groups fs, all 3. OpTic win champs

i agree with this with no bias at all.

minte [#29]

recency bias i think

maybe a little bit, but 100T's last matches against Faze and Guard were unbelievably good, if they keep that form up i seriously believe they can do it.
Optic didn't look as good in Copenhagen, and their playstyle seems to have begun to become figured out. They also seem to have staled a bit, at least in my eyes, in terms of strats and comps. Just my take anyway.

well

Xset wins champs

Optic atleast top 4
100t playoff
Xset 1-2

bonkashi [#2]

Xset - 0-2
Optic - Make playoffs but go out early
100T - Top 4

agreed

XSET wins the whole thing

realistic expectations for each team

XSET: 5-8th: their group is the weakest in the tournament, and depending on their first round matchups they could win a game or two, if they get grouped it will be an embarrasment on NA valorant's name

100T: 12-9th: they have an incredibly tough group, and while it could be argued they have the skill to match up with DRX and FNATIC, they clearly don't have the experience, with the only one even having gone to a LAN on the level of champs being Asuna. making it to playoffs will be an overperformance for this team, especially with the roster turmoil after challengers 1

Optic: Top 4: if Optic don't at least make top 4 it will be a flop tournament. They are the masters 1 champions and masters 2 3rd place finishers, and the potential of this team should be a championship favorite.

optic top 5
loud top 1
fpx top 4
liquid top 2
drx top 3
mark my words!!

SENzombs [#38]

well

to be fair it was too close

REASONABLE_ZEKKEN_FAN [#36]

i agree with this with no bias at all.

true. no bias. only objective Zekken facts

XSET prob won’t make it out of groups, 100t def unpredictable could make it out of groups could go on a run could shit the bed, optic are pretty consistent but they choked at champs last year. could be a consistent top 3 for them or a go out in groups

surely optic beat an eu team this time

Can't agree with Drx top 3. They'll choke before reaching semi finals.
