Loud is not a top 3 team by any means but got a "lucky" bracket which might change the course of the entire season for them
MIBR will not be great at the first event but will get better at later ones
Lev and 100T should go farther but got a unlucky bracket

Ur Brazilian so I'm not gonna complain on you favoring ur teams but bro, even then putting LOUD above MIBR is delulu as fuck

my reason for that is because loud is more experienced and has a core with more synergy than mibr.

mibr just got formed, they will have less time of practice, and they also have two very inexperienced players, while loud has a lot of experience on their backs and have been practicing for a long time. also most of the team have played together before and have a lot of synergy already. i think this will make the difference on kickoff.

long-term i see mibr being better than loud

Tu botou muita fé nos brs mano, acho q o único time q vai se sair bem é o mibr, 2G vai cair sem ganhar nenhum jogo infelizmente, ainda estão muito frios, LOUD perde pro MIBR e depois na lower
Furia só ganha de EG e C9 dos times gringos

mibr tem um time recém-formado e com pouca experiência internacional. loud tem cachorro velho e isso vai pesar na hora. mas mibr vai ser melhor a longo termo

e entendo gringo não botar fé na fúria, mas br não enxergar o potencial do time é ser leigo

pra mim MIBR só ganha da LOUD pelo fato de ter Aspas e frod, são eles que são o diferencial do time.

e pô, eu boto muita fé na Furia mano, mas a Furia n ganha da SEN, LEV, G2 e NRG NUNCA, pelo menos n hj em dia.
Eu acredito pra krl q eles possam evoluir e até o final do ano estejam nas cabeças, mas hj eu acho mt dificil

aspas e frod sozinhos nao carregam nada. loud pode fazer um antitatico inteiro em cima do proprio aspas e a outra rapaziada não vai segurar o tranco por agora. que nem eu disse, lá pra frente é outra história, mas agora vai pesar muito a loud ser mais time

e eu botei a furia só ganhando da lev pq eu nao confio nada nessa propria lev e acho inacreditavel que tem gente que realmente nao enxerga os problemas que essa line vai ter (pelo menos no kickoff). os outros times ela não ganha agora mesmo não.

I’m supposed to believe the Loud that couldn’t even beat KRU last year with Saadhak and Less is supposed to beat them now with 2 clear downgrades???

I think them beating EG is fair but anything past that is them pushing above their weight.

yes because loud was worse this year than what it will be in 2025. saadhak and less leaving was actually very good if you can read between the lines

You forget how dysfunctional LOUD were in stage 1 compared to their norm. KRU kinda just ran them down

20 years of fps esports and people somehow still dont understand that it doesnt matter a team is the best in the world name by name if it can't be an actual aligned team with synergy (something that loud clearly wasn't this year)

I can see it. mwzera havoc heat raafa Khalil is a solid roster and they should have a lot more synergy than LEV currently does

i think lev will have difficulties at least on the start of the season. i dont trust this team at all from a number of reasons, but they might be good by the end of the year. for kickoff, tho, i dont think they will go very far

furia is being severely underrated and will surprise a lot of people

good but i do not think mibr will be top 3 and beat loud (i said why in #10) and i think furia will beat at least 2game (for the same reasons, experience will play a part)
