Is EMEA in trouble?

#1

Do you think EMEA will win an international trophy this year?

They have some good and solid teams, but do they have rosters with trophy-winning potential?

I guess you could say Vitality, but I'm not very high on them after the roster shuffle, because Sayf is still the IGL.
CyvOph is great tho

no official news on Leo's health but from what I've heard from various pros/coaches, it's very unlikely that he comes back to the pro scene
I can't name who said this but it seems like his condition is linked to looking at screens, it causes massive migraines

TH is looking abysmal like what happened w them, last year they played w G2 the best Val in the History and now they barely win against Apeks like what

th struggled a lot regionally against the weaker teams like gx koi and m8 last season, i wouldn’t be too concerned about it, they were still able to make int finals despite that

It would take a lot tho
Crashies and Boaster keeping up their insane form+Kaajak finding consistency

Also Alfa+Chronicle need to step up cuz they look shaky at times

Yeah Alfa and chronicle definitely need to step up. They were always the ones that were very reliable. Crashies and boaster are just outshining them atm

-s0yf all aim no brain
-I fear FNC may not have the same consistency as ever
-TH are still chokers so luckily they might get another second place
-TL going to bangkok was a fluke
-FUT they get at least 5th-6th place

-rest are bums

EMEA literally has the most teams that can win an international this year. All it takes is to remove your blindfold.

the player quality is literally insane, teams like M8, FNC, TH, KC, VIT, TL, FUT and BBL have very skilled players who can all contribute smth to a champ winning team, all they gotta do is to get consistent to win a event

VIT might be able to do it but what I fear is Sayf's IGLing. It's at a good level for someone who's new to the role, but I think it falls flat on the international stage against other trophy seeking IGLs.

Recently people have been super high on FNC, but honestly I'm hesitant to get on the hype train for now. It's been two good games with 2 standout performances, I want to see every player hold their own consistently. Alfa and Chron have been having rough games and I'd like to see Crashies hold his own more consistently (just need to see him play more tbh).

Yes. Vitality, FNC, Heretics can all win. Atrophy in my mind. Some dark horses like TL in there too

TL's map pool is bad until they fix it they have no chances

Sure, but the point is with TL you can see them fixing maps every week. For them it is a matter of time to improve to a strong level. Lohan is proving to be a really really strong coach

valorant this year is like this:
T1/G2/EDG best teams
TH/FNC/VIT/FUT/TL+ DRX + MIBR

rest of teams
EMEA HAS OVERALL ALWAYS MOST COMPETITIVE..BUT NOT A TEAM WHO OUTSHINES THE REST OF EMEA(LIKE FNC DID)...THEY DONT HAVE YET A TEAM OF TOP 3 CALIBER

LETS BE HONEST NA and China 1 team region(2 MAX) ...APAC might have DRX though and BOOM looking promising

EDG na bro china and emea has very very less chance of winning anything . And to be honest i think either g2 will win 2 trophies or T1 get another trophy orr GENG . Apart from them no team looking promising and geng i think they will be good at champs they need some time . DRX i dont believe in termi

I think EMEA is the 2nd best out of all the regions. But if we are talking about the winning a trophy, it comes down if the cream of the crop can clear the best teams of each region. That goes to say I don't think the best EMEA team can totally clear T1 or G2.
