Denjisideals [#2]I just want to see Florescent vs Vania
Vania is putting Flor numbers while having 0.5 assists
i think that surely will be the grand final
Obsidian_Echo_Alt [#4]I dont know how much I trust ALG . I think KRU will be better than them.
tbh i didnt watch them yet .. but judging by last year's performance, i think CN team got better upgrades than them. We shall see
Tetrodotoxin [#6]Probably correct. I don't see a different way of placing these teams and I've watched all of these besides CN (only watched GF).
Is GC worth it? I don’t watch anything during the VCT OFF//SEASON except VCL Ascension
VxpxFX [#7]Is GC worth it? I don’t watch anything during the VCT OFF//SEASON except VCL Ascension
redbull starts soon, where Fokus will win it all

yeah its quite difficult to rank them based on regional dominance , when they literally only have 1 intl LAN every year

Here's my reasoning, I've been watching GC regionals and GCC for the past 2 or so years.
Spoilered is just how I feel about level of play, competitiveness and casting for context
The level of play in the GC bracket is okay-ish, but you can't expect insanity. A LOT of teams work on the power of friendship and not actual strategy / aim and you can usually spot the weakest link really easily. A lot of teams have players to never hit radiant, and even some of the strongest rosters have situations like this.
It's nowhere near as competitive as T2 and there's arguably 5-6 GC teams worldwide that are trying to get there, my prediction is they will either in BR or EMEA (looking at MIBR GC, G2G and TL BR). A lot of the teams want to stay in GC and not push beyond that, which is really sad, but that is common with esports, they usually don't set their goals beyond their own bracket, same way a fair share of women in chess don't play open bracket tournaments.
The casting is very hit or miss, it feels very weird from my POV, there's a certain soul missing to it and there's what I feel like needless padding for when players do poorly, maybe GCC will be casted the same way as valo major.
Why I watch;
- waiting for "the one" - there will be a team good enough to make it through GC into VCL, which would be groundbreaking
- young GC talent - there's less stigma about women playing shooter games now and the 16yos (GC age req.) will start coming into the bracket, they can grow and get better (Flor, rezq as example), I love a good story arc
- support for the players / orgs - I just like the players, some are just house names from other games (mimi as an example, only woman to get close to getting into FPL)
- it's scrappy - sounds silly but I don't mind the fact it's not everyone shooting heads at all times with 13 rounds of utility planned ahead
moomoomoomeadows [#11]id put flyquest up around xipto, i think the gap between flyquest and sr is smaller than people think
i see ... i havent watched them but i just saw the 3-0 and thought hmmm
