What is your liking for teams considered dark horses? No bro, DFM won't win the Pacific kick-off, Nova won't win the China kick-off, M8 won't win the EMEA kick-off, stop being crazy
These are teams that only managed to do well in the off-season, official tournaments are different, EDG is world champion, why would they lose to NOVA? Do you think they will play with 5 controllers at kick-off? Think a little

cloudberry [#2]Karmine Corp won Kickoff 2024 after putting on a circus show for all of 2023, so it's impossible to say for certain that a team won't win
That's because Fraudmea is a zero team region. The only region that didn't win a single trophy in 2024.

They were different contexts, at the time it was something that no one expected, especially because they didn't play many off seasons, but today they expect a lot from teams that only won a few off seasons games but when they played VCT they were always bad, as is the case with NOVA (which practically didn't change its line) DFM (which changed few things in its line)
Maybe we can understand the hype in M8 a little, as the line has also changed a lot, but I believe there are at least 4 teams ahead of them just talking about line
z12 [#4]The teams look good? Fnc fell off last year after winning 2 trophies s0n won madrid after winning svl. Sure we cant rely on every result but you cant just discard every result because you want to. Also m0br is not winning shit.
sorry, but who mentioned MIBR? Furthermore, what will be Faze's next game in the franchises?
localkoolkid [#6]idk about you guys but ANGE1 gonna carry NAVI to win Kickoff
An elderly person will not be able to carry a team alone
bronzil_enjoyer [#9]trust in nova they are the real competitors this season
NOVA wouldn't even win the VCL NA, imagine the kick-off from China

I think so too, but the point here is that we don't know how any team will perform until they do. For all we know, a bunch of teams are saving strats, or a bunch of teams are peaking in the offseason and will run into issues with the new season (map pool, balance changes, internal issues, etc.), or maybe a team with almost no footage will just dominate
scarlemange [#12]Nova was a pretty good team at last season, they changed the roaster and did well in stage 2 and now they are even better.
this doesn't mean they gonna win china and master, it means they are a solid team this season that can do well !
that's all
I agree

You forgot to take your medicine
unknown_trash [#17]Nova is top 3 CN, DFM top 5 pacific, M8 probably middle of the pack EMEA.
Nova is behind EDG, FPX, Wolves, Xi Lai, BLG and Trace.
DFM is behind PRX, DRX, GENG, T1, Talon and RRQ (I doubt whether it is also behind TS and ZETA).

I rate dfm higher than rrq and equal to talon. I rate nova rn only lower than wolves and edg, with them equal to xlg and trace depending on the day. Blg seems too inconsistent and idk about fpx and whatever they are doing so I don't have a ranking for them.

How do you split infinity into percentages
