Thoughts?
Mortadelo [#8]Objectively I would say Apeks and them make it through. But in my biased opinion Barsa will, also CGN has a chance
you got heretics in vct bro stop being greedy
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
capital_d_colon [#6]Always hard to balance the groups.
I would say Group A is harder.
Early predictions:
Group A:
Group B:

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
theiceman [#18]someone plz pick up falcons players 😭
They have already someone picked how it looks like...
Obelisk [#20]wait FLC dropped their roster?
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

why wouldn't riot allow them in
K4ziuHa [#24]time to change that
I don't mind him, he's a great player. But I would rather root for someone else xD
Mortadelo [#23]They do not like oil money
I thought china was the biggest buyer of Saudi oil, why would a Chinese owned company care about Saudis?

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

root for joblife 😁
Mortadelo [#8]Objectively I would say Apeks and them make it through. But in my biased opinion Barsa will, also CGN has a chance
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
K4ziuHa [#28]root for joblife 😁
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
capital_d_colon [#12]Early predictions:
Group A:
- Apeks
- GoNext
- Barca
- CGN
- Dsyre
Group B:
- JobLife
- Pcific
- Mouz
- Falcons
- Saw
Saw doubter spotted
Mortadelo [#25]I don't mind him, he's a great player. But I would rather root for someone else xD
ego issues are real. hope he fixes that

MOUZ is goated too
Er3ngenes1s [#38]ego issues are real. hope he fixes that
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 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
Obelisk [#22]why wouldn't riot allow them in
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.
