Tokyo groups is gonna be stacked af

We have:

🇺🇸 NRG
🇺🇸 EG
🇹🇷 FUT
🇺🇦 Navi
🇰🇷 DRX
🇰🇷 T1
🇨🇳 ASE
🇨🇳 EDG

Out of these teams only EG without demon1, T1 who have been inconsistent, and ASE/EDG who are more unproven against top competiton aren’t top tier. And all of those teams have good potential to cause dmg and upset one of the favorites.

Think about a group with NRG, FUT, DRX, and EDG, that shit would go hard af.

And whoever wins here has to face off with Loud, Fnatic, Liquid, and PRX (all of whom are capable of flat out winning).

Masters Tokyo is gonna be insane.

There is a world where Navi Edg Nrg and Drx are in the same bracket lmao

This tournament is clear of every other tournament in terms of competition. Surely people don't call this one a fluke.🙂

DRX and NRG shouldnt be in the same group since they are both second seed but we never know with rito, if it happens rip drx

it clearly is a fluke, teams weren't looking inshape at the beginning of the season, look at eg and team liquid. sentinels are making roster changes. since the meta is new, its gonna take a few months to get into it. also 100t, they improved a lot since lock in. by the time people got used to it, their playoff chances were gone, I hate to admit it but sentinels are a big example

C9 not making it is a fluke though

Someone spiked xeppapi’s drink that night or sumn idk

one of the opening matches will be either NRG NAVI or DRX NAVI, that shits gonna cook

Looking at that list makes me realize China is gonna get smoked again. They ain’t winning any matches this tournament either tbh

Get ready to learn Chinese @EDG @ASE

T1 has slowly crept up into that contender position imo.

🇨🇳 ASE <- literally who!? Why are they even in Tokyo

Teams had 7 months to get in their best form and still had problems during the season. They were given ample opportunity to to be the best version of themselves and they couldn't even do that with more than half a year of prep. Also how come some teams were able to adapt to this new meta but others could not? It's the nature of competition. The hardest and smartest working see the rewards of their efforts.

where is blud getting his numbers from? and i agree with the adapt but emea is a farmers league, so if u adapt a little bit, you can easily make it. But like roster changes are messing teams up which sets them back a few steps.

The numbers come from the end of champs to the start of the leagues. Also, the teams are the ones making the roster changes. They are the ones to blame for their own shortcomings.

1) the meta changed... first match we saw was lock in and that wasnt even that long. also each week in the split, there was only like 3 games so hard to actually counterstrat until later. if the meta wasn't changing like last year, we would c which team would actually stand out on top

The meta changing is just the nature of Valorant and Riot constantly making balance changes. When yay was the best in the world on chamber there were pros who simply didn't take to chamber as much as him and by result their value dipped. Essentially https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KpXsfimrkFo

It's kinda sad how everyone still doubts PRX here

you guys are confusing the grouping system.

It’s impossible for DRX and NRG to be in the same group, NRG will be grouped with T1 and DRX will be grouped with EG.

chick [#2]

No there isn’t, NAVI can’t be in the same group as EDG and DRX can’t be with NRG

Why not?

This Article on vlr says gsl will be random

https://www.vlr.gg/216904/vct-masters-tokyo-format-and-prize-pool-revealed

The GSL groups will be randomly drawn, with each of the groups containing one team per region (Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China). The playoffs will be completely randomly drawn, with the only rule being that group stage teams will face an Advanced Seeding team.

Basically, every group needs to have a player from each seed
Navi and EDG are seed 4
EG and T1 are seed 3
FUT and ASE are seed 2
DRX and NRG are seed 1

Randomly drawn but accounting for seeding. Would be unfair if not

What are you talking about?

I don’t understand how suzyVLR knows the opening matches but the original tweet says it would be Drx/Nrg/Navi/Edg right?
Cuz same region teams cannot be in the same group

Idk man we’ll just see what happens this stuff is frying my brain

Group A
DRX
EG
ASE
NAVI

Group B
NRG
FUT
T1
EDG

It's been on a couple of different reports
He summarized it better: https://www.vlr.gg/post/2291493/tokyo-groups-revealed

I'd say T1 is pretty consistent now. inconsistent times during the league play was ages ago

Group stage will be very fun to watch probably the best international event ever!

how is T1 inconsistent ?
