The best team of 2025 is not what youre expecting

#1

Veri

Every year, there's at least one team that comes out of nowhere and takes everyone by surprise with how good they are. Last year it was Evil Geniuses. 2024 you can argue had multiple of those like Team Heretics, GenG and even EDG since i dont think much people had then winning champs before the season started. You can even argue these unexpectedly good teams were actually the best teams of the year. I mean GenG made 5/6 GF with 3 wins and EG placed 2nd at Tokyo and won Champs.

That beggs the question: Who is the lurking best team of 2025?

Geng best team of the year (6 GF, won their region and a masters)

Team heretics comes second (5 grand finals but lost all of them, so very consistent team)

Edward gaming most improved team of the year, from getting trashed by Loud at Madrid to winning champions is a big step up.

hmm
maybe KOI, might be like the EG (23) of EMEA
although most likely they'll be... the EG (24) of EMEA (Decent but just not a playoffs level team)

Oxy goes 125/90 in 2025 champs GF vs Vitality. Applauses, shocked faces and screams. In the end, the crowd stands up and congratulates the young duelist for putting up a historical perfomance (Vitality won 3x0)

Trust, T1 cooking. Buzz + whoever the fuck they want is gonna make the team the best. Stax, Buzz, Izu, and like any 2 players would make this team GOATED especially since we're going full Korean now.

Kinda tough with rosters this year being so good. Like in EMEA we already know which team will stay at top(FNC, TH, VIT, KC) and which ones will be bottom

Honestly, Furia is building a pretty good roster and not many people are seeing that

It's not going to win anything, is Furia, but it's going to fly high

random turkish roster like fut/bbl or fnatic if they make more changes. nothing is stopping some china superteam from suddenly appearing tho

I think either we get a LATAM (so KRÜ) winner to keep the regional rotation of champs winners going or we get Loud or EDG running it back.

Facts I feel like they'll get another trophy this year. We haven't seen a champs-winning team stay together so I think people are already forgetting them

I don't think they'll win Champs but they should be one of the favorites for Bangkok.

methinks EDG takes Bangkok, one of the new EMEA rosters takes Toronto, and either krü or loud go on a winning streak to take Paris

2025 will be the one year things aren't all that surprising
