Which teams are making masters imo

Americas
NRG- this squad just looks too strong rn- how you gonna take Som and FNS- add VERNO AND MADA who are fucking insane- Fns actually hitting his shots too? Yeah-- I just can't see this team not making top 2.
Sentinels-- sure G2 and LEV are equally as likely based on a good or bad day from a team, but Sentinels is also the type of team to pull stuff from their ass and somehow always get an OT win and I'd like to argue Bang and Narrate is an improvement.
wildcard--C9- will always be my all or nothing Americas team, and Oxy finally has actual teammates

APAC-

PRX- hear me out, we've seen this team starting to lean into "meta" comps and GODDAMN do they look good doing them. The core PRX boys have such good synergy and have the advantage of staying together for so long. If they FUCKING CHOOSE TO STICK TO A LANE AND NOT SWITCH WHAT THEIR PLAYING EVERYDAY ahem i think they clear.
GenG- ok self explanatory. Munchkin, Karon and Texture just too strong.
wildcard -- T1. Holy shi is this team strong. They did really well in RBHG and I think if they keep it up and get just a bit better, they clear GenG

EMEA

TH- technically- i do think Vitality has a higher ceiling, but these guys have been playing together for a good bit, and everyone should be aware of how good they are.
Vitality- definition of a super team. I don't really agree of signing both Derke and Sayf, and Less is still getting used to English, but cmon everyone in this team is fucking insane.
wildcard - NAVI- alr who let them sign Koalanoob and hiro- should be illegal (Ruxic is good too but cmon)

CHINA (no wildcard since xi lai and wolves are tied in my book)

Xi Lai- I'm not confident they could beat EDG in a legit game- but I do think these guys got great upset potential- they look good
Wolves- who let them sign both Lysoar and Juicy- scary. These guys suddenly got really good but I'm not complaining.
EDG- pioneers of Chinese valorant, these guys are just cracked,KangKang Chichoo and Smoggy are some of the best at their respective roles and I'd be more surprised if they didn't make masters.

100t/kru - easy upper bracket defo could fluke a win or two and make masters,
giantx - might turn out to be heretics from last season idk,
blg - underated as fuck imo,
t1 is fine i guess but i dont really think they are a wild card cuz their team is just hella strong

AMER-G2/NRG wildcard-MIBR
EMEA-TH/FNC wildcard-fut
PAC-PRX/T1 wildcard-dfm
CN-EDG/TE wildcard-TEC

Signing hiro for a franchised team should indeed be illegal bc he's ass

eg/100T
TH/fnc
T1/GenG
Edg/ idk really

For APAC I agree PRX and GenG.

Current map pool has Split/Fracture in and Ascent/Breeze/Icebox out. Best case scenario for PRX with 3 sova (recon initiator) maps out and 2 flash initiator maps in. Reasoning for GenG > T1 is simple, strong map pool dominance, T1 is good team but they would play Lotus all the time and never strengthen any other map. GenG on the other hand are extremely solid on their map pool and GenG arnold mention about how they have huge strat book.

Peri signing would help this as he's also solo teammate from Nuturn 2021 Reykjavik days. Also GenG are more favourable in their bracket since T1 would be facing PRX. T1 never win a map off PRX historically and even tho new roster in mind, I trust solo and peri more than autumn, coach diff. T1 would improve split 1 but kickoff goes to PRX and GenG.

1. G2 & 2. NRG
2. TH & 2. KC
3. PRX & 2. Gen.G
4. EDG & 2. FPX

Same as last year but G2 instead of SEN
