Underwhelming Teams

#1

In my opinion

SEN - Getting grouped after wining Madrid?
LOUD - 4th Madrid to might not making playoffs?
Furia - Had high hopes for Nzr and Mwzera but nvm
Liquid - I thought they would be better
Bleed - Yay and Zest on the same team sounded crazy
T1 - Showed promise in Kickoff now barely making it out of playoffs

yeah but I didn't expect Loud to have to be needing to go down to the last game to make playoffs

As saadhak said we practiced the strats and all and it worked fine but the problem was bringing it over into the games. They needed some time that's it.

SEN - Schedule problems, they practiced without IGL the first week before Stage 1 so had no time to readjust their strats so they're just getting read more and more since vods are out. Plus they are not in form.
LOUD - Same issue as SEN but more severe as they did not practice at all before Stage 1 and they were scrambling to fix things up by removing Phoenix from their comps and just doing standard-ish valorant.
Furia - They're not even trying
Liquid - Just dogshit Valorant overall, 0 excuses.
Bleed - Korean guy into full English team, there's gonna be comm issues especially with a rookie IGL.
T1 - Unlucky schedule and circumstances. They had to play twice for the first two weeks and with an injured player and iZu not in form.

I think the most underwhelming team are the teams with no known big issues like comm issues etc, had a lot of time, not crazy unlucky schedule which I think points to Liquid, ZETA, GE, FNC. I don't know about other teams.

Have to agree with this, SEN especially because they played over 1000 rounds on stage without any substantial break this year, they are very obviously going to be burnt out and not in form + have footage that can be antistrated. LOUD to some extent as well, especially because of their Visa issues and their awful comps.

I would add NRG as an underwhelming team honestly, yes they have an inexperienced IGL but that doesn't justify the level of play against LEV + they had almost two months to prep but played terrible valorant.

Honestly though
Sen I can excuse, they've been playing non stop and they do need a break to come up with new ideas and hit a reset altogether.
Loud are in a weird position but when it comes to underwhelming, they definitely did underwhelmed us.
Liquid 100% underwhelming, it's not that they've lost a lot, even KRU went 0-9 last season but every game was competitive, Liquid is out here losing 13-2 and 13-5
Furia, yes NZR is arguably the best Latam Initiator / flex but somehow any team that MWzera is a part of, is crumbling again sadly

if youre considering SEN under the criteria - grouped after winning
don't you think FNC should also be looked at?? I sure do think so buddy

How's T1 crazy? You could say the same about EG... but nobody would. They changed 3 players it's basically a totally different team (also considering that they arguably kept their two worst players lol)
