Objectively I would say Apeks and them make it through. But in my biased opinion Barsa will, also CGN has a chance

I like Joblife but I do not want 4th French org. (4 spanish yes because I'm a hypocrite). My order would be something like. Barsa, Saw, FLC, MOUZ, CGN, PCFIC, DSYRE, JBL, APEKS, GONEXT

it's a shame because if he doesn't ascend feels like he has a hard path back to tier 1 when he is clearly good enough

I do not see Apeks as a favourites in this group. Considering all the leagues in VCL worldwide, Northern Europe Polaris is clashing to be the worst. Low tier teams, no competition except from SweetNSour and maybe Requiem, both on an extremely good day.

GoNext, CGN, DSYRE are the true contenders for both the playoffs and also the final itself. DSYRE havent lost a single map all year long and they are extremely strong and also underrated.

I agree with, I do not rate Apeks as clear winners of Ascension as many people does, I think GoNext are better than them for example

And anyone could make it really, other than Dsyre imo, I don't really buy it. I can make the same argument you did about Apeks, but in a worse version

I can agree with you on the DSYRE argument, yes their league is among the worst, but it has talent, let's hope it shows. I really want to see how the MENA team will perform now that Falcons dropped them off contracts. I like how Akai plays.

it's very sad the situation they have with FLC, hopefully it doesn't affect them. I love Akai, I think he will make it to tier 1 soon

Always hard to balance the groups.
I would say Group A is harder.

Group A is harder fs, 3rd place would probably make it out Group B ngl, tough break for whoever that is.

A is harder but both groups have good teams, depends a lot about how good SAW/ex Falcons really are

Actual decent change Mena makes it out of groups, which would be huge for them in terms of getting recognition
Turkey is guaranteed to get out too unless they HARD mess up. This should help them with their habit of under-preforming in multi-regional tourneys, by giving them time to get used to how other regions play in officials in an (imo) more forgiving environment

And ye gl to anyone in group A
I wouldnt even be able to decide on a top 3 in that group, much less a top 2

FLC’s got dropped by the org and that’s definitely a distraction. Also can’t play from Saudi Arabia so might have to pay for their own bootcamp? Idfk

And same I honestly got no fucking clue who makes it

yeah they ceased operations in Valorant, and I think Riot games in general. I think they realized Riot was never gonna allow them in VCT or LEC

Riot has very specific moral values as a company, at least image wise. You can see it a lot in the way they treat bets and stuff.

Either way, I think they have denied them in LEC already if I'm not mistaken

Falcons were likely rejected by Riot's financial review because they kept the owner of the organization private, meaning Riot couldn't conduct a proper review.
