TOP 5 TEAMS IN VCT HISTORY

I'm just talking about performance vs other teams during their year! Just because FNC 23 is above OpTic 22 doesn't mean they'd necessarily beat OpTic 22 or vice versa.

1. FNC 2023
   Honestly, this is debatable I can't lie. But FNC are the first and only team to win back to back trophies looking dominant when they won Tokyo. They had a respectable top 4 finish at Champs as well.
2. OpTic 2022
   Top 3 every international event in 2022, 1 Masters trophy, and 2nd at Champs? Pretty no brainer that this is the 2nd best team of all time.
3. EG 2023
   Two GF in a row, 1 Champions trophy? I feel like the way they played was so good that they deserve to be called the 3rd best team of all time. Their performance during LOCK//IN is why they're below OpTic imo.
4. LOUD 2022
   2x GF, grouped at Copenhagen, but walked away with a Champs Trophy? They looked very strong and innovative, especially with how they won Champs without benefiting from the Chamber meta.
5. GEN.G 2024
   GF appearances in every tournament bar one for the entire year. Out of 6 possible Grand Finals they made 5. That's insane consistency. A Masters trophy to boot, on enemy ground as well? I think they're debatably more recent enough to be considered above LOUD 2022 tbh, but this is a close one.

im biased but W list

Don't think we'll ever have another crazy run like 2022-2023. It was so good.

Loud over EG because how tf were they not in playoffs by default despite destroying Brazil they gave it to latam instead even though (at least on vlr) it was a latam/be slot so they should have been able to play for it

6: Sen 2024
7: TH

Sen 2021 didnt drop a map at iceland. they're easily top 3

what about 2021 sen? ik its a bit stupid cus so early tenz smurfed but still

I agree with the teams you picked for this top 5. However I argue this in terms of placements:

1. OpTic 2022. didn't win Champs but the team they lost to are literally number 3 on this list.
2. FNC 2023. Not much else to be said there
3. LOUD 2022. Same thing you said. I put them above EG because apart from Copenhagen they were very consistent all year with OpTic being the only "true" rival.
4. GEN.G 2024, for exactly the same thing you said.
5. EG 2023. Their end of the season was insane, but many forget that the start of their season was pretty putrid and they almost didn't even qualify. Easily the flukiest team on the list, though they deserve their accolades given what they achieved in the end.

HM for SEN 2021. Though I argue that was an entirely different era and is much more debatable to put in Top 5. Top 10 for sure.

Optic and fnc overrated. No champs no party

1. Loud 22
2. EG 23
3. EDG 24
4. Fnc 23
5. Optic

FNC /LOUD (despite roster changes, they were grand finalist in 3 tourneys) even #3 in Chmp23
