We all watched the deconstruction of EMEA with Ludwig x Tarik- showing a lot of faith in new stars like Reduxx and old ones like Cryo who looks revitalized. It poses the question how scary the Americas are this year as a region. With new super teams in leviathan and NRG and Sentinels new rosters, it's a coin toss to who's gonna be the ones rolling the floor. Just off the few off-season events, I would be keeping my eye on the new sentinels roster, Leviathan (basically just becoming 2023 EG atp), NRG (mostly because the drama funny af), and CLOUD9 who i honestly think have a great chance basically fixing the problems in last year's comp and the question mark being Xeppaa, but Oxy, and Moose still look great and Vic and Rossy are great pickups. As well as international teams becoming an actual threat and entertaining to watch, It only keeps me excited to see this new era of comp. Valorant.
