The Next V1?

When V1 lost in the Ro16 vs TSM in Stage 1 Challengers 3, they were still on the border of tier 1 and not considered a real contender. Of course, some may have predicted that wouldn't last long due to the talent from CSGO they had on their roster, however, I think very few if anyone at all predicted that they would eventually become the second-best team in NA. Now that we are onto a new stage, I ask which tier 2/borderline tier 1 team (in any region) has the best chance of making a run similar to v1?

I would say Soar but they wont be beating 100t in round of 32

none, all the "tier 2" teams in na are really tier 3. but if i had to say anyone it would probably be tsm who are actual tier 2.

DarkZero Esports

TSM... when they play 100T

It would be nice for Rise or Soniqs to enter the tier 1 scene properly and see how they will do there.
So many tier 2 teams with so called ranked demons in the line ups tho I wonder if one of them could make it higher in the future as well.

I would love to see DZ or BBG do well

tsm

Soniqs

SoaR winning today against 100T >:)

Keep dreaming

Meant to reply to the guy above me

TSM redemption arc?

idk really, the thing with v1 was that they kept on playing faze in qualis and losing 2-1 with close maps... they were rlly good and had bad draws

BBG or Soniqs

Ghost has a chance to upset T1

Darkzero could upset Faze

Those are the only “Dark horse” bets that I see in the next set of games in NA.
