First I will start with the qualified teams: (in no particular order)
EMEA : Liquid, Navi, Fnatic, Vitality/Futbolists
Pacific : DRX, PRX, GenG
Americas : Loud, Nrg, 100t (idk actually know about the last one tbh)
China : Fpx, Edg
Now the obvious has been stated i will work through why every team except liquid cannot win :
- Fnatic - Just won a tourny, and according to the laws of valorant 2 teams can never win 2 tourneys back to back (shown by champions 2021 gambit loss, and lock in Loud loss)
- Navi - Weaknesses in Zyppan, Cned a one trick jett merchant. Poor team synergy. Picked the worse brother out of Emil and Doombr0s
- Vitality/futbolists - only qualified to the tournament because all other Emea teams would lose to the average gold ranked team (immortal ranked team in NA or on madrid servers)
- DRX - cursed, no stand out players, definition of Mid
- PRX - new team, not enough synergy, + language barrier and 6th man curse with Something
- GenG - Lets just be honest, their getting grouped, like not one person believes geng have any chance of winning do they?
- Loud - If liquid dont win, theyre winning, but theyll get beaten by drx, before drx crumble as usual
- Nrg - Worse then loud, missing yay, and no clue how this s0m guy is pro
- 100t - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXVfMMYvQFE&ab_channel=FNATICValorant
- FPX and Edg - The fact ive put them together should tell you enough
Therefore the only team that can win is Liquid. They are the best team in the world. Once Nats and redgar overcome the language barrier, soulcas and Jamppi finds consistency, and sayf keeps dominating. We will roll Tokyo
