Very Hot takes so please dont flame me

• XSET best team next year (Cryocells is a ver good pick up to replace PureR + already top 5 teams in NA this year)
• Liquid/Gambit (both won't change their rosters, consistent performance throughout last quarter of 2021)
• Bleed Esports (Picking up two t1 ex csgo pros is always much needed experience for younger players here in Singapore)
• Liquid (Might have a better Nivera + plus increased chemistry)
• Gambit (always strong on later half of the year)
• Gambit/XSET (honestly the other NA teams are just kinda eh)
• Zeta Division (theyre super good in Japan but just LAN nah)
• C9 (finally has experience on VCT Lans)
• SEA (i mean gotta rep my own region plus secret x10 prx bleed)
• NA (just inconsistency)
• Alot of rookies but repping my country, Firstlove
• L1NK (clutch king)
• Brazil will make it to at least quarterfinals on LANs

True, JP actually have some insane teams coming into 2022

DetonatioN Gaming and Zeta Division are looking like strong competitors

gambit got the next two champs titles + zeta and vision strikers will have a great year once they get rid of big event nerves

Fat_Lard [#17]

LOL . i mean if a PLAYER on XSET said it , then idk , either hes trolling

but i saw cyricells stream recently and he still had SoaR on his stream title

ShadowisBAD [#15]

I like Sick and TenZ, and I'm a fan of Shahzam's gameplay but I think he's arrogant af, the other 2 I prefer not to comment, I think Sentinels settled down after Masters Islandia and they have big problems within the team regarding agent pool.

I mean yeah why would he have Xset on his title before they announce him? Also Dephh doesn't make the moves for Xset so idk. Purest and George are rarely ever wrong so again idk

blissout11 [#19]

Gambit not eu
What a list

oh my bad
i thought EU means EMEA

2022 Preds:

• The gap closes even more between all of the regions
• Sentinels will either have a stronger mental and comeback in 2022 or fall off and their will be team changes
• I don’t think Acend will be as big of a powerhouse
• 100T will fall off at least during the beginning of the year
• NV will fall off
• KR will start to become a more dominant force with more competition in the scene
• A team from a region outside NA/EU will win an international lan event
• Liquid wins champions

Noyn [#21]

I like Sick and TenZ, and I'm a fan of Shahzam's gameplay but I think he's arrogant af, the other 2 I prefer not to comment, I think Sentinels settled down after Masters Islandia and they have big problems within the team regarding agent pool.

no, the entire region of NA has an issue of being to complacent and egotistical and they get shit on by minor region teams in which the NA teams cant even name two of their players.

ItsMeDio [#64]

oh my bad
i thought EU means EMEA

KRU lost a few of pieces of their team to Brazil. (nagzet is likely leaving)

ShadowisBAD [#25]

SEN will continue to be on top HOPIUM
EU its kinda hard cuz noone except gambit is consistently on top
masters 1 will go to EU
Masters 2 and champs NA will win hopium
The team that will disappoint the most?- Prob like a team that is EXTREMELY hyped in their region and get slapped around on LAN

Let's band our sentinel energy together, Shadow.

ItsMeDio [#64]

oh my bad
i thought EU means EMEA

EU means EU, CIS is not EU

The best NA team of the year-TSM
The best EU team of the year-FPX
The best Wildcard team of the year-X10
The Masters One winner-Na'Vi
The Masters Two winner-FPX
The Champions winner-Gambit
The team that will disappoint the most- Liquid
The team that will improve the most--whatever Brazilian team with sacy and heat
The region that will improve the most-Brazil
The region that will get worse the most--
The Rookie of the year at international events - Na'Vi Cloud, FPX purp0(they will 100% sign him after m1)
The best player of 2022- nats
Bold Prediction: both navi and gambit will be in top 4 in champs.

PlatOverlord [#69]

EU means EU, CIS is not EU

Oh my god stop crying nobody cares.. EU= Europe and the simple version of EMEA where CIS plays. And I don’t think you would be happy with a separated CIS that would die after sone months (except gambit)

Separated cis will have big reshuffles and create 2 more teams on Gambit's level. If riot actually invest in marketing, valorant international tournaments will be another csgo with final stages being eu/cis rmr with some occasional teams from other regions.

And in valorant context CIS is not EU, eu masters and cis masters are already separate.

Let's band our sentinel energy together, Shadow.

yessir , together out copium levels will be high

No org will invest big in CIS because the people there dont care about valorant. Even NAVI had a tier 2 team (+cloud) and now signed another good player who was for free, which org should buy an expensive roster there?

The best NA team of the year? C9 Blue
The best EU team of the year? Team Liquid
The best Wildcard team of the year? LOUD
The Masters One winner? Gambit
The Masters Two winner? Vision Strikers
The Champions winner? LOUD
The team that will disappoint the most? NA teams
The team that will improve the most? Vision Strikers
The region that will improve the most? Japan
The region that will get worse the most? NA/OCE
The Rookie of the year at international events? Aspas
The best player of 2022? Sacy or Aspas
NA teams will start to struggle against other regions, we'll be seeing JPN/KR/BR taking a lot of wins against NA teams and Sentinels will disband half of the roster

Also, if navi sign purpo(free agent btw) instead of ssk they will no longer be a tier 2 team, I really hope their management will pay val more attention, they are by far the richest org in CIS and one of the most popular in the world as well.

Shaz needs to play Jett 24/7 again, TenZ isn’t consistent as him

Really good list dude. We have common choices it seems

PrTsty [#51]

How does TSM win like almost everything but dodsng get the, improved most, title

loud doesn’t even exist yet

Noyn [#82]

Yay and Vanity are very humble tbh

that's not what i'm referring to. I'm talking about the amount of practice and grind they put into the game

Noyn [#83]

Shaz needs to play Jett 24/7 again, TenZ isn’t consistent as him

from shahz gameplay on champions, it doesn't look like he is comfortable on that role anymore. He plays a top tier Sova and felt pretty OK for someone playing Breach/Skye for the first time competitive. Also, the amount of money Sentinels payed on TenZ fee, I don't see them just dumping him and rebuilding their core around fucking Zombs or whatever. (IF they choose to rebuild of course.)

Softy [#84]

Really good list dude. We have common choices it seems

If TL doesnt win atleast one iLAN I will be sad

• A team from a region outside NA/EU will win an international lan event
• Liquid wins champions

if liquid gets 4th in emea it will win the champions

NA: Xset
EU: FPX
Wildcard: Gen.G
Masters One: VS
Masters Two: FPX
Champions: FPX
Improving team: FPX(the momentum is building)
Disappointing team: Gambit
Improving region: JP
Disappointing region: NA
Rookie: Aspas
Best player: Nature abt to destroy everyone once he has a competent team.
Your bold prediction: I think that we will see many new players so I expect that we will expect to see a huge shocking upset at Masters One so I'm not even sure who will win that and honestly BDS could look very scary if they get a bunch of cracked rookies from the French VRL.

The best NA team of the year = Envy
The best EU team of the year = Liquid
The best Wildcard team of the year = PRX/VS/LOUD
The Masters One winner = VS
The Masters Two winner = ENVY
The Champions winner = SENTINELS
The team that will disappoint the most = ACEND
The team that will improve the most = XSET, TSM, VS
The region that will improve the most = SEA
The region that will get worse the most = EMEA
The Rookie of the year at international events = Jinggg
The best player of 2022 = yay
Your bold prediction = EMEA bad performance at LANs

Fat_Lard [#23]

I mean yeah why would he have Xset on his title before they announce him? Also Dephh doesn't make the moves for Xset so idk. Purest and George are rarely ever wrong so again idk

Yeah and the sky is blue dude
