Sentinels - Played and beat all the best teams in Americas besides LOUD, also beat PRX in offseason aswell as other teams. Even though LOUD beat them, after the amount of games they’ve played against high level teams, I believe they are at their peak right now. The only problem is there map pool doesnt feel that deep but the maps they do play, they are elite on them.
-
LOUD - Pretty easily made their way to Madrid, even though all games were kind of close. All players are playing really good. They seem to struggle in first 2 games but in the 3rd they easily win them also Quick seems to be struggling.
-
Karmine Corp - Coaching staff really brought a team of Tier 2 players and made them the best in Europe. Every game was convincing and apparently they are on like a 150 win streak in scrims. Good use of Yoru too and making new team comps. Don’t reallly watch EMEA so not much to say but from what I’ve seen, they are playing really well.
-
NRG - Individually, best team in the world, best jett, best initators, best flex and best controller in the world of 2023 and 2022 aswell as having a world class coach. They are only hindered by their insane ego problems. Demon1 thinks he is the best too do it, Chet thinks he can just antistrat anyone, Marved thinks he is the top g, crashies thinks every other team is ass same with Victor, the only humble one is Ethan. If they can become humble and grind the game, they WILL be the best team.
-
GenG - Playing really really well going into Madrid, haven’t seen too much of them but I think they can do well in Madrid, I really don’t believe they’ll place on the podium though,
-
Fnatic - I mean its Fnatic, they got placed against Karmine Corp who are playing really well. No matter what, with this team they play really well, hopefully in the EMEA league they bring it together and gualify for Masters Shanghi.
-
PRX - They are really good but they seem to have lost rythem since losing Jinggg and haven't adjusted well to having Monyet. No one has been playing above average, they’ve been good but nothing special.
-
TH - Their Lotus looks really well, MiniBoo and Boo have been playing like crazy, Benjyfishy on the cypher looks really well, Riens playing in a different country on 50ms ping has been clutch. I could easily see them doing even better than this but I also haven’t watched much EMEA so I can comment on it too much.
-
EDG - from what’ve seen KangKang is stil, crazy and looks like he has improved but as a team they aren’t looking amazing and have trolled many rounds and struggle against bad teams. They look alright but I dont see them going very far in Madrid, but who knows, they suprised everyone last year.
-
EG - Literally a bunch of bums + Potter and they took LOUD to 3 rounds. Could definitely see them improving for Americas league. They have probably Top 3 best coach in the world but could struggle seeing as they are in Americas which is easily the best league.
Don’t violate me too hard if this is an ass ranking, I don’t watch too much Valorant but this is just my opinion.
