There have also been reports that Chinese teams may attend Sao Paolo since VALORANT has been approved in China. If this is the case I will NOT be covering these teams because I am lazy.
PREDICTIONS
After going through all the orgs here's my predictions for the top 3 in no particular order from every region. A lot of this is based on pound for pound firepower and chemistry, and does not take scrims into account. This is also my opinion, so feel free to disagree
Americas: C9, NRG, LOUD
EMEA: Liquid, NAVI, Heretics
Pacific: PRX, DRX, Talon
FINAL THOUGHTS
This project was 100% me biting off more than I could chew and took way longer than I anticipated. I originally estimated this taking around 3 weeks back in October and now we are a little over a month away from the LOCK//IN Tournament. Nonetheless I enjoyed doing it and learned a lot about all the partnered organizations, especially those in the Pacific which have some crazy big legacies.
I also sincerely appreciate the community's positive reaction to all these posts. It's what largely motivated me to finish out this project. Whether it be someone offering feedback, a correction, starting a discussion, or commenting “bump” at 3am so users in other regions that didn’t see it may get the chance to, it means a lot to me. For now I’m going to take a break until after the LOCK//IN Tournament and then possibly do weekly highlights on matches from the Americas league. Linked below is my twitter, and my 2 other megathreads for Champions and NA LCQ (although these are a bit dated)
Again, thank you
