Way too early Bangkok predictions

#1

Aayan

AMER:

G2
NRG

EMEA:

TH
FNC (I was thinking of putting VIT, but I think Sayf will need some time to find his footing as an IGL, and a meta change is probably when that would happen, and I don't expect the meta to change too much until Split 1 (Also I'm biased))

APAC:

GENG
T1 (They've been cooking the off season)

CN:

EDG
TE/Wolves (A bit unfamiliar with the region tbh)

the team is good but has the same issue as vit nrg and liquid, cracked player will be the igl even tho he is unproven as a main caller and captain

Looking at what they've done so far I'm inclined to agree, but I'm hesitant to count TE out since they played 3/4 maps close with GENG and T1
I'll put down TE/Wolves

i agree with this .... specially considering their map pools ... wolves are decent on almost every map which is wild

They'll probably lose every regional tournament to EDG, and EDG is EDG

My preds

AMER :

NRG (looking extremely solid, will continue to do so in the early stages of VCT 2025)
G2 (jawgemo is a massive upgrade from icy, it can only get better for them)

PAC :

GEN (look incredible despite losing Meteor, hope Foxy9 at least does decent)
PRX (with the role changes, I have faith in them to get their shit together)

EMEA :

TH (same team that made two grand finals in 2024)
VIT (this team is stacked)

CN :

EDG (no explanation needed)
TE (literally the second best CN team)

Trash Heretics fluked their way to both Grand Finals. At Shanghai, they lost twice to G2 and only got lucky on the third match.
They were never the better team, just lucked their way into the Finals to hand over the title for free.
Trash team.

Prx will be bottom Pacific team. 1 trick players will get exposed this time.

That's a stretch. PRX still have firepower good enough to be 4th within Pacific at worst, and I don't know if you look into pro players' trackers, but Jinggg has been playing other duelists and trying to master sentinels by occasionally locking in Killjoy / Cypher, and something has been playing a lot of info initiators to solve the problem where they don't have a Sova on certain maps like Ascent. We still have to wait and see what they do in the Radiant Asia Invitational but from the looks of it, they're trying to address their issues, which is a positive.

NRG looked like a completely different team in the offseason & VIT has superstar talent

They just look like a team that clicked, they weren't that insane (logically, since they are a new team)

And VIT just looks like 2023 NRG to me. No real IGL, you'll have Sayf giving up on his first role, the worst version of Less we've seen, and... Kicks?

I'd only have hope for VIT if ceNder stayed and if the players didn't have a history of being so toxic (Less and Sayf)

well nrg had little practice and managed to pull it off.

cender chose to take a break so it is sayfs responsibility to take upon the IGL/captain role, less can still regain form tbh. kicks is an overhated player imo, he has the ability to become just as good as s1mon if everything clicks

I trusted PRX from 2021-2024, at this point I don't see them going much further unless they directly address their role issues, and even then it'd take a while for them to get back on their feet (I'd be happy to see them win, but I just don't believe in it happening anymore).
GENG have been playing peak Valorant since the start of 2024 and don't seem to be stopping with their new roster, and T1 look miles ahead of where they were last year, and they were still an upper-mid team in 2024

Americas

NRG

1.VIT
2.TH

APAC

T1
2 PRX/GENG (rrq might also be cooking so they could def also make it)

CHINA
1.EDG (might not be here since their coach left)

WOLVES/FPX (could be very different maybe TE or Xi lai could go instead)
