Teams from americas who will improve.

Based on what I've seen, I'm going to tell you which teams I think will improve based on their 2024 performance.

I'm not going to explain the reason, so the text doesn't get too long, if you're interested in knowing the reason, just ask about a team and I'll give you my points.

Teams that will improve:
Lev , G2, Kru, NRG and Furia

Teams that will be the same:
C9, EG, MIBR, 100t

Teams that will get worse:
Sentinels and Loud

These predictions are difficult because we don't know what each team's squad will look like for 2025, so don't take them too seriously. It's just an assumption.

i was having fun at the waterslide when suddenly i noticed a big shadow covering the entire pool i looked up and there i saw him, Ardiis. He was coming straight for me, he jumped into the pool and the velocity of the wave that followed knocked me unconcious.

When i woke up i was chained in a cold and dirty room and there he was, streaming the popular shooter game VALORANT on Twitch while talking to his chat, somehow he managed to say the word "bro" 254 times in just 3 sentences how is that even possible?? I quickly realised that the chains were actually made of chocolate, confused (and mainly hungry) i started licking and sucking them as fast as i could and managed to crawl out of the room -that i presumed was probably his mothers basement- while remaining unseen.

I searched around the house for an exit and i quickly found the front door. As soon as i exited the building i saw a horde of angry Brazilians holding blowtorches and pitchforks chanting at ardiis and calling him a racist and a loser. I didn't really care so i tried to get out of the scene as soon as possible but just as i was about to step out of the house, ardiis put his enormous hand on my shoulder and whispered with a soft and melodic tone in my ear "You're not going anywhere pumpkin pie" and "Daddy's gonna take care of this swifly". He stepped out of the house and suddenly yelled "WATCH THIS" as he flamboyantly dashed into the air and suddenly made 5 knives materialise around him. He used the knives to effortlessly tap every single brazilian in the area.

I was so afraid, blood was spilled everywhere. When it all was over ardiis looked in my direction and i knew that it was over, if they didnt stand a chance, then i wouldnt either, so i just gave up. Ardiis started walkingin my direction each step making the ground shake. When he got to me he just sat down on me saying that i got cold and he needed to warm me up. After a while he took me inside the smelly basement again and took his clothes off. He started smelling me and licking my ear, and then he suddenly got very embarrased and told me i can just leave.

Turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding, this whole time he thought that i was a chocolate egg and he wanted to eat me. The disappointment on his face when he realized the mistake he had done was palpable, a tangible testament to the depth of his sorrow.

LEV points please

LEV points please

The most important thing: I think they keep Aspas on the team.
If you look at the beginning of the year, it was literally Aspas and friends. Then it became Aspas, Kingg and friends. And towards the end of the year they started to play better as a team. All this within 1 year. If they keep the squad, they will have enough time to solve the problems they had in 2024. They are certainly one of the favorites to win VCT AMERICAS again.

Idk if Jawgemo have space in another team. The think about EG is they dont have money to make improves. Apoth need to be replaced to someone else, but if they can bring nobody, i think the team will be same thing. Still can wins some match's, but will not make playoffs.

I can see rich and palla carrying mibr tbh

novato1 [#9]

Exactly. The only hope I see for MIBR is that Frod could fundamentally make the team play very well. Individually, MIBR players are below the others.

How poorly do you think Sen and Loud would do, considering their current perceived placements by the end of the season? I’m sure people would agree that Sen could improve and make regional playoffs more consistently assuming that they match or exceed the firepower of the previous iteration. For Loud there really isn’t much lower they could go imo, but then again they’re very conservative with their money and Saadhak is leaving.

loud can literally sign half of Galorys and be the same if not better than this year

can loud even get much worse from the end of last season? Also i think lev will get worse since theyre supposedly removing mazino and aspas, and I personally think C9 will actaully do a lot better next year

Well, Loud has a chance of getting a little worse if Less leaves (for now the rumors of his departure have cooled down) because it will be difficult to find a sentinel like him. We don't even need to comment on Saadhak, I wish he would stay at least a year to recruit a talent from tier 2... I think their only way out would be to bet on someone new in tier 2, they have shown themselves to be very competent and promising. overall they would get a little worse because it would be a "team rebuild" but I think it would be good for the long run.

Sidyon [#13]

Loud dropped the ball by the middle of the year. Before that they were doing ok.
Loud will face these problems: Loss of their best player (Less) and the loss of one of the best IGL in the world. Until then they have Pancada, Tuyz and Cauazin. They are not the worst players, but nothing special. They will need to find a good duelist and a good IGL, I don't think that with the investment they are willing to make, they will get two quality players to fulfill this need. they have staff problems too.

I dont think Lev will change, but like i say before, this is assumption.

C9 could be better since they remove Vanity, but what IGL we have in Americas who is willing go to C9? I was thinking about that.. what they gonna do about the new IGL? The team is average, they can improve for sure, but without a good IGL, they are cooked.

Apoth is staying, but Stellar would be an upgrade.

Sentinels will have to reinvent themselves. It won't be so easy to find a player to cover Tenz's firepower and another to cover Sacy's experience/support.
They can put two younger guys with good mechanicals, but generally teams formed this way take longer to work. Everything will depend on their start of the year, if they start well, it will be a sign that the new roster has worked. However, it is likely that the team will be good for stage 2 (they need time).

I explained a little of my point of view about Loud in a comment below.

TM06Nick [#12]

If they chocked against M80, imagine when they see Aspas killing 30 or G2 anti tactical

2G you cant assume. They never played tier 1 before.

LEV you probably assuming Aspas is out of the team, and i dont.

MIBR i don't see how, since they say nothing about a new roster (It makes sense considering that last year they only won 4 games kekw
) but im talking about to a real improve like, playoff chances.

Sen make no sense either. They have a big gap to solve.

2G will not have Spike

I am assuming Aspas is leaving

MIBR is looking to build an international roster like LEV. There's a lot of NA talent from T2 that they could get

SEN is trialing players who are already upgrades from what they had before. Assuming they get N4RRATE and Zander, the team will look a lot better and consistent in my opinion. And even if they don't get N4RRATE, they can get NiSMO, or Brawk, and even if they can't get Zander, they can get Skuba, or Jawgemo. This is the best off-season for Sentinels right now

did loud lose less? I haven't heard anything about them losing less and tbh losing less might be better for the team. Losing Less would give them 2 open slots which would go towards an ACTUAL duelist and an IGL, which would probably make them be around the same level of furia or mibr which are both arguably currently better than where loud left off, Lev already gave mazino the choice to seek other options(so they probably don't plan to keep him), and most sources say Aspas is unlikely to stay. Tbh most top t2 igls are better than vanity and if c9 wanted they could drop moose for dapr or even neT if m80 implode after yesterdays loss, they have plenty of choices on the board to upgrade their team.

Where you got the news about MIBR roster? I remember saw a video about the coach of Talon saying about some brazilian team looking for NA players, but idk if this is true. And even if they are, players t2 from NA isn't enough.

If Sen get N4rrate they would have a chance, if they dont, i dont see how the team can be better. Nismo is like a worst version of Sacy. Zander is a better controller than Tenz for sure, but dont have the same fire power. and besided that, they are a new roster. they will need time to be a good team.

No. Loud without Less is a huge loss, he is one of the pillars of the team... and if he left, it would open up space for Sentinel and IGL, not to mention the problems with the Duelist. Mibr is no better than where Loud left off, maybe Furia is (but they apparently kicked out NZR and XAND, two active voices on the team)

Both teams had changes, so they weren't really fitting together. Saadhak and Less were pillars of the team, two very important players. I know that teamwork and chemistry are necessary, but not in all cases, look at Lev for example

Loss of less on paper isn't good for anytime, but I actually find that it would be better for them if Tuyz can swap to sentinel, because if they can pick up at least a decent igl and duelist it would make them better than where they left off before. However I got no clue about the Brazilian T2 scene rn other than ascension players, but a team like Loud could seriously benefit from someone as explosive as dante
