Ill start:
SENTINELS (NA) VS VISION STRIKERS (KOR)
It’s because vision strikers isn’t actually that good. All brain no aim, if you will. They have a high tier of strategy, maybe even the best in the world, but when they don’t get a chance to set up, or rounds fall apart mid game, they struggle to adapt and win disorganized 1v1s. That’s why a team like SEN or FaZe would absolutely demolish them but they could be closer against 100T for example.
How can you say they're even close to the level of any of the top 4 right now. And with NRG becoming a powerhouse too? TSM might reform with brax? Who knows where 100T fits in all of that. They're not top 4 right now. Very low chance they will be top 2 when it comes to masters 2. Especially since SEN is basically a shoe-in to the event right now. Did you even watch Masters 1? Even against teams like IMT and T1 they barely won.
Wait I meant top 4 teams for Stage 2 Masters 1(basically just NA - Sen). Idk who you would say is better than 100T other than Envy, GenG and FaZe right now. 100T has only lost to the top 4 teams and NRG with this roster while experimenting against the meta and with a brand new player. I guarantee you that 100T will make changes and learn from Stage 1 Masters 1 and Ethan will grow even more. We haven't seen the new rosters of NRG and TSM play together yet but you could argue that NRG will be better but I'm still saying 100T is 4th behind FaZe, Envy and GenG(once again, not including Sen)
we can easily say SEN is the best team in NA atm so if they dont choke they will be the first seed to qualify from na and that leaves us with only 1 spot left. we are left with Faze(who basically destroyed every team that is not called Sentinels) Envy who is looking good, Gen.G they got 3rd place masters 1, idk about 100T making it and we have a lot of things that could change (TSM and NRG maybe on a comeup?)
