- 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.
