Sentinels won Iceland and shat the bed in Berlin when they didn't even finish in the top 4. If everything follows the Script, Gambit should shit the bed as well...
All jokes aside I still think Gambit is the best team going in and are probably the favourites going into the event. With that being said, Liquid and Envy can definitely win if they play well. Sentinels can win but their fans are like NAVI Cs fans and half of them are braindead sheeps.
I mean I think the real contenders are Gambit, Envy, Sen, Liquid, Acend and Vision Strikers but saying that "if you don't say NV/GMB you don't have a brain" is ironically a braindead take. Personally, I think Sen is gonna play much better since they underperformed at Berlin and I think Gambit is gonna play worse cause it might be easier to read nAts and d3ffo might not play as good as he did at Berlin but that's just my take.
Maybe but nAts is a beast man. That dude imo is the best player in Valorant. TenZ gets all the hype because he has a bunch of young fans who will goto extremes for him. A lot like s1mple fans. Me personally, teams with idiotic fanbases makes it hard to root for them ex. SEN, 100T (no offense), Navi, old SK/Luminosity from CS. I don't disagree it is a braindead take. I believe any of those teams can win but imo I just think Gambit will win. EU just has a different mentality that NA has always lacked. It's why NA CS is now in a rebuilding phase and limited players achieved success. More players within the scene cared more about egos and reputations rather than focusing on winning. You can already see it with NA VAL in areas.
Only time will tell on how the teams play and who wins.
I mean nAts is a beast but his style was exposed and his been replicated by pretty much every other player who plays his role in comp so teams may be able to stop him easier. But even if they counter his lurks or whatever, he still has insane aim so it'll be fun to watch him as always. Also no offense taken cause 100T fans are idiots who overreact to everything. As for the whole NA vs EMEA debate, I agree that NA players care more about egos, but also Envy and Sen are probably the 2 most stacked rosters in the game with Liquid and Gambit being up there as well. I also think that the Envy and Sen are just so dedicated to winning that they put their egos to the side though and I don't really think the C9 guys have huge egos. With all that being said, I think Vision Strikers are gonna win. They really don't have a weak link(or a star player) and with more time to figure out everything with Lakia, and with rb getting more time to adjust to sova and so on, Vision Strikers could be deadly. Also, they've had even more time to come up with great plays and there's no film on them since Berlin.
Yeah only time will tell. I would like to see Vision Strikers do well. It might boost the Korea scene more. It’s weird in Valorant the pro scene in Korea is good but the casual player base is actually really small. Most people still play Sudden Death or Overwatch for FPS games not including BRs and League as well.
We will see though. One thing I do hate about VCT is the invite qualifiers for all these other regions. They are just like giveaway games for the top teams and only competition is between themselves.
It would be beyond incredible if VS wins. A team from a horrifically weak region that has only played against 5 or 6 top teams in 6 months.
I don’t know who they can practice against to keep a good enough form to beat the best of the best.
Vs is the most overrated team at champions and a win or even a finals appearance would be incredibly astounding.
Horrifically weak? Nuturn finished 3rd at Reykjavik and VS beat Acend and kept it close against Gambit. Korea has proven internationally that they are a good region so idk where this weak region shit is coming from. They practiced against teams from their "horrifically weak region" before Berlin and they beat EMEA's 2nd best team. Add even more time for their team to synergize and to get shit together with their 6 man roster and you have a contender. The whole region argument about Korea has been proven as bs and yet you're trying to use it again. VS are probably the most tactically sound team at Champs and they have a great roster so please stop with the weak region bs.
