My Thoughts

I love the qualifiers and having a stacked main event, but part of me just thinks it's so useless lmao. Like I know there's always a chance, and I'm personally a TSM/OpTic fan so I'm really happy for Subroza and TSM for qualifying but I just don't see Faze/TSM/LG/Knights/100T/Sen/Ghost etc even coming close to challenging for the Masters qual. In my eyes, it's still down to OpTic, C9, Guard with maybe V1, XSET, and NRG as close battles. Idk, thoughts?

To be fair think we said that about guard early this year too. 100t fr got potential too with that new roster tho ngl

We said that with guard too. Y’all underrate how fast teams can improve. I’m personally looking at faze, Nrg and 100T to improve massively in the group stage.

honestly didn't expect the guard last masters but somehow they did it. even last year for Iceland version 1 wasn't even for contention for masters

teams aren't static, ppl have to keep in mind valorant meta changes every couple of months. We about to have faze jett/neon/sova nerf. This will mess up teams and the best teams will adapt to the meta and rise up again. Its much harder for a team to stay consistent in valorant for long but when we reach the level that teams can stay consistent despite meta changes we will reach a new level of valorant.

i mean ppl did say the same thing about the guard and they end up to be the first seed of NA
