Fill me in which teams and players are looking good / to take notice of, since I dun watch any CN games.
(The last I saw was FPX vs. TH and they looked quite competitive as well)
Only those who actually watch their games pls, no naysayers thx
JDG are looking great, Viva and Stew are on fire rn
BLG are getting better but idk if they're good enough to make Champs
FPX are still good but they've been shaky lately
EDG made a couple of good roster moves, can bounce back
Trace are cool, Biank is a very nice addition, but they're notoriously known for choking
All Gamers are solid af fundamentally and great at anti-stratting but they have very limited firepower

Team Spirit will win ascension 2025 (real)
laeDLaer [#5]Don’t bother. Dead region . Overhyped bots (Kangkang)
he was the best opwer of 2023.
everyone only just catched up.
hes still arguable top 1 oper but oping aint meta and hes focusing on rifling.
also fraudfter is gone

FPX is the ONE TEAM I honestly would say you cut slack for. All the series they shouldn't have lost on paper were after they locked in the top 2 playoff seed, and they're clearly just dry running experimental comps. They very well could (and probably will) look way better during either playoffs or at Champs when they optimize their theory crafting

Everyday I’m messaging them asking to open a valorant division 😔

i get what you mean.
but like as u said they dry running shit. instead of edg throwing western comps at the wall. fpx is throwing kinda shitty ideas.
they didnt do well this split but seeing JDG and TE finally reach their potential which ive been banking on for nearly a year is nice.
i do really think that EDG will cook. at tokyo they had really good midrounding and conditioning which we've come to forget due to haodongs igling being limited. and how they looked with simon is really nice. i do really hope they make a run confidence wise if they flop i genuinely think it might be over mentally

I'm willing to give FPX a leeway because they've been experimenting a lot tbh
you fw Trace and AG descriptions from me?

i think we might see FPX regress slightly. they have crazy firepower like holy shit but what they've been doing recently. not a fan

The thing about FPX is that they're trying to find their own original solutions to specific comp problems. Everyone was questioning triple controller until ppl realized that they play fundamentally different with it compared to every team they go against, and you can't view it under the same meta lens as everything else. We can't accurately judge how it'll go until they play a series that matters enough.
If EDG flop there are definitely going to be roster changes. I don't see a world where nobody survives on it if they bomb out.

pretty much 100% accurate on both. Only thing I'll say though is that I think it's less firepower with AG and more their confidence. Whenever they're fired up they HIT

FPX had a high ceiling in Shanghai but poor defense and bad comps really screwed them over. I'm worried that they doubled down on the stupid shit that worked instead of improving what didn't work.

yea FPX is a wild card
for EDG i agree however like mentally those players are like screwed even wiht new people. they gonna get shat on so hard on chiense social media. whats on vlr is 1% of the trolls they get on stream

valid
I hope they're cooking hard for their matchup against Trace, it's a big challenge for AG
