I think that VCT Challengers will include mostly unsigned roster just s the VOT has been working for now. I've heard some stuff about the following orgs;
Mindfreak
Dire Wolves
We may see more orgs but we might not.
OCE has a competitive pathways group called OC10M as well as the FACEIT equivalent called LPL. LPL is a thriving community with lots of extremely strong teams atm.
I think that the following orgs will be interested in signing a team and at some point in time next year we'll see these orgs competing.
Orgs that I hope get into the scene:
VERTEX
Encore
Greyhounds
Wildcard
PEACE.gg
Renegades
The Chiefs
ORDER
But in all seriousness I think the team with the highest chance of winning Ascension for Australia would be Tu Stultus Es.
Magnitudo in sanguine nostro est! || #SanctusSuperior
Some interesting stuff indeed.
Not sure we would ever see Grayhound in valorant.
Also something to look at for is the redbull campus clutch, hopefully like last time an oce team will be participating, theres also a chance its a lan. Winning that could be very good for the scene.
Also want do you think the likelihood some of the players get picked up in t1/t2 outside oce?
Probably pretty unlikely i would presume. maybe rDeeW
