State of GC (NOT DRAMA)

So after

• C9W disbanded
• G2 Gozen lost Juliano and Mary (Mary hopefully can come back before GC Champs)
• Guild X just sold their entire roster and picked up a new one
• Benita leaving SR
• LOUD GC challenging TL Brazil (TL made roster changes)
• I actually have no idea what is happening in GC APAC

There is a power vacuum for the rest of the year

• V1 is C9W 2.0
• Not a clear #2 in NA with SR dropping Benita
• G2 Gozen not as dominant with Marys replacement
• High contention for EMEA #2
• I still don’t know what’s going on in APAC

So any preds for the rest of the year?
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about

EDIT: just realized if Mary is taking a break for school this early she won’t be back for a while, up to June 2024

team smg gc are gonna fry :>

V1 is way better than C9W
Liquid just had a bad day while playing against loud gc, they won't lose again (loud gc is not even #2 in Brazil, 00 GC is better)
G2 Gozen is not as good as it was last year because Mary got replaced and Roxi has diamond level gameplay

VCT GC 2023 WINNERS:

EMEA: BBL + G2
NA: V1 + SR
BRAZIL: TL
LATAM: KRU
SEA: SMG
EAST ASIA: DRX?

Overall winner? v1

not really risky predictions. east asia is hard because most of the competition hasnt started.

Can we just pretend that V1 is the next step of C9W? They're pretty much the same team, in spirit at least.

slots should be:

NA: V1, SR
EMEA: BBL, G2 (with Mary)
APAC: SMG
EA: FL
LATAM: KRU
BR: TL

wait what happened to mary??

Loud with the new Lineup can absolutely challenge Liquid

Senior year I think she won’t be back for a long time

SMG will farms everyone at champs

In APAC GC, SMG is smurfing. But Full Sense (Ex X10) are also good

Too bad we never got to see Zeta play at East Asia qualifiers last year because of the flappy controversy, but I wouldn't count them out. Suzu is back and they took Kohal from Fennel

WHY DID GUILD SELL THEIR TOP ROSTER FOR A MID FRENCH ROSTER

Everyone is a fraud in GC NA besides V1

gc will finally win against t3 hopefully 🗿

DSG clears

Zeta looking pretty good actually, though i think they had an easy group.
It's a shame that fennel crashed out so early.
Reignite was a team that flew under my radar.

It will be interesting to see who wins split 1

Yeah, Reignite kept the core that played East Asia GC last year. JP GC is fire
