FireII [#5]RRQ and TS should move up a tier imo
we haven’t seen much from rrq but personally I think they’re good
and ts almost beat geng but they threw
pacific is VERY hard to rank because i don't think their top 3 teams of PRX, GenG, and t1 would be S tier in other regions(even though im not really cross-comparing regions). Like if i say "pacific has 3 S tier teams" it doesn't make sense, and if I say "pacific has no S tier teams" it also doesn't make sense
j3bx5597 [#4]NAVI is too high, I think EG unironically are as good as 100T
i thought so as well but i've heard people say they are more worried abt FNC than Navi so i think its best just to keep them both A
sleeek [#8]Bleed lost to GE how are they higher lol
i've always been very high on retla and zest. also they lost because of crazyguy's trash calling vs GE, which is now gone
Psion [#3]koi can punch up imo(upset teams better than them), BBL can't
koi is clear of lulquid
koi had way less prac time than TL and still beat them. barbarr absolutely pisses on emil and you can see it in the games. emil will hold liquid back from being decent ]
giants c wtf??
giants are so shit and bottom 3 in the league. if it wasnt for cloud theyd be bottom 1

"koi had way less prac time than TL and still beat them"
bro it was a rematch, the losing team almost always wins the rematch
regardless, I think moving Koi up to C is reasonable.
Giants were 1 pistol+ eco win away from 2-0ing KC. and now they have purpo instead of nukkye whose sentinel wasn't anything special
espeon [#10]vitality with destrian is b but i think with trexx itd instead go up a tier or two honestly
i think they'll be inbetween A and B with trexx but they'd be closer to FUT than TH, navi, FNC

most rematches go the way of the team that won the first.
but yeah koi is at minimum C

idk what you mean. if two teams play twice its likely that the same team wins twice
1HeadVLRgg [#16]delusional NA can't even read the world map
i definitely have more knowledge in geography than you lmfao

History proves otherwise
ionlyHave1Zuni [#21]History proves otherwise
nuh uh
i personally guarantee, on my life, that above 50% of the time that two teams play each other it ends up being a 2-0 rather than a 1-1
kanyefan4238173 [#23]bro those videos are fake asf
let's ignore the countless studies on american education failing

this is just false historically.
since champions 2021 when the rematch "curse" officially started:
c21: 1-0

M1 reykjavik (3-0
DRX vs zeta: DRX win 1st zeta win 2nd

total: 11-7
the team that lost the first time wins 61% on the biggest stage since it first became a thing in champions 2021, and when u remove outlier matches (where there is a clear mismatch) its 11-4
dapada [#27]A: FNC, TH, NAVI???
Three of them would destroy all of americas team lmao
I disagree
but even so
THIS IS NOT CROSS-REGION, IT IS INTRA REGION
Psion [#31]if you would change anything what would it be
Prx over geng. I would personally have geng at the top of A and S tier only for prx
Zerphyr1 [#32]Prx over geng. I would personally have geng at the top of A and S tier only for prx
prx genG T1 could be rated in any order 1-3 but yo can't have 3 S tier teams in pacific it dont make sense
Psion [#34]this is bait right
what is bait? ur post or my reply.
btw here's the match when bbl beat fnc on ascent https://www.vlr.gg/173222/fnatic-vs-bbl-esports-champions-tour-2023-emea-league-w1/?game=117185&tab=overview

they have 3 new players this year. the cores are not consecutive, you cannot say this and last year's bbl are the same
Psion [#39]they have 3 new players this year. the cores are not consecutive, you cannot say this and last year's bbl are the same
fnc also downgraded this year. if you have 4 absolute god players in your team and still you can't igl them to win(running same strats like a tier 2 org) then that's a massive L.
i will rate vitality over fnc for this kickoff.

fnc will bounce back, we haven't even seen VIT with trexx and we saw FNC win 2 events.

W repositioning goalposts. I wasn’t thinking of international tournaments since late 2021 I was thinking of every single valorant game ever played

100% agree. Maybe the only thing that I would do is move blg down to b, but I’m not sure if I would even do that
Xplodd [#49]100% agree. Maybe the only thing that I would do is move blg down to b, but I’m not sure if I would even do that
They looked good enough during playins that I think they deserve the A tier, but I do think they’ll be the worst of the 3 in the tier
julingre [#51]100T in A is so wrong to me
they played SEN and LEV very close. any take on 100T besides they are S, D or F is reasonable, but i trust boostio
Kirya [#48]Gia should be in B at least after adding purp0 no cap
i think i made this before the announcement was official but i don't remember. I think giants in B with purpo is reasonable too though, i just don't know how fitinho will do on another role
Shawn23 [#46]the demon1 effect i guess
no, moreso this was ethan's first tournament calling so now he has a lot more to work on and improve on as a caller, which was NRG's main issue
NoOne_ButMe [#47]Nah NRG should be A untill they prove to be a S Tier team
I trust ethan's calling to improve, now that he has actually tournament matches to look at it should get much better but if anyone put them A i wouldn't be mad at it
trikecycle [#50]They looked good enough during playins that I think they deserve the A tier, but I do think they’ll be the worst of the 3 in the tier
Yeah that’s fair
Y0kai [#57]Only swap I'd make personally is 100T and EG. I feel like EG showed great things and 100T fell a little flat. Personal opinion tho.
100T's game vs LEV was closer than EG's vs LOUD and their game vs SEN was just as close as EG vs LOUD, and EG really doesn't have the firepower to keep up with a lot of teams
Congo1 [#58]swap gentlemates and Liquid
its reasonable but today, not when i made the list, i think it'd be better to put liquid at D and keep giantX alone at C

underrateing gentlemates. They were 0.001 seconds away from 2-0ing Vitality and making playins
Congo1 [#64]underrateing gentlemates. They were 0.001 seconds away from 2-0ing Vitality and making playins
It was a rematch, (loser wins the rematch 2/3 of the time in tier 1) and vitality had a sub
