#1

queueK

EDIT: Sinatraa is, in fact, not joining Envy. https://twitter.com/GeorgeCGed/status/1470485691859615745
With VCT '22 in NA having 12 teams battle it out over 7 weeks, I want to see which 12 you guys think will make it.

My list, not in order:

Sen
C9
Envy
Rise
Xset
100T (assuming Brehze and ec1s)
T1 (assuming seven over auti)
NRG
V1
TSM (actual COPIUM overdose)
Pioneers
Gen. G

Others: FaZe roster is completely unknown, but good pickups could def get them into the top 12. LG and Akrew def could too.

"T1 (assuming seven over auti)" - auti is better and has proven himself, seven hasnt played tier 1 yet

I think they'll qualify either way. I just put that there so other replies would also use that assumption!

Yes but the thought is that auti is going back to cs so it's not about who's better

My list isn't in order, I just wrote it as they came to mind. I 100% agree about the KCP thing, though. Jcstani is a great igl, with great players on his team too.

Akrew with Paincakes is picking up steam, if they continue and get better they could be on this list soon.

They only have three players on the roster, without an IGL. That, and I just dislike the core of Wardell and Subroza, tbh. No solid reason outside of that, but this is not an objective list, just the 12 teams I'd like to see and I think will make it.

Wardell just a good op but mid tier rifler not something you want from your jett needs to be more versatile, subroza inconsistent and the pop flashes on sky just work in ranked they keep them because they have a large fanbase which makes no sense for an esports team lol

literally dont believe any team is a a lock imo because of how fucked the seedings will prob be
a strong new upcoming team could be seeded like 22-24 and make one of the "favorites" lose because of the unknown factor and being new team

no team is a lock, just look at what happened to TSM in between first strike and VCT.

You're grasping at straws. It's not like Mikael was carrying or anything Gen G has more core than 100T and is a more complete team. I'm a 100T fan. With 100T we have a good core, but it's less to look at than GenG especially now that 100t lost both IGL's. I think both teams will be good anyway, but you definitely shouldn't be sleeping on GenG.

I'm not sleeping on them but from the way I'm speaking it does look like I am. I'm just saying why some other people may be sleeping on them.

NRG has a complete roster. TSM do not. For that reason, I've included the "COPIUM OVERDOSE" next to them. Corey and Rossy would be good additions, but have yet to be confirmed. I doubt the ability for any team to make a deep run without having at least a month of time to practice with their IGL.

And, as another comment has stated, this list is NOT in order. It's just the 12 teams I expect, and want to get into the league stage!

LOL average TSM fan NRG solved their issues because they got an IGL. Literally within a week of the roster forming they placed high in both tourneys they played, and took a map of XSET and kept it close.
Compare this to a TSM roster with an underdeveloped/new IGL. Their weakest player now has to role switch to appease Corey, and they are going to suffer since the only controller he is T1 at is not meta. TSM also has to force buy an OP for Wardell or since he is a below average rifler.
NRG>TSM this year for sure

Whose place would they take? I guess I could see them beat NRG / TSM. It seems like a tossup, though.

Not trying to flame or be a dick, but looking at this list "on paper".... NA looking kinda weak no?

I'm sure when the teams are final and stabilised I'll be proven wrong, but at a glance, most of these teams don't look strong. I guess we'll see it all play out in 2022
