Group A:
XSET
The Guard
NRG Esports
100 Thieves
NRG is looking really good with Ethan being added on, and 100 Thieves is showing significant improvements in such little time making me believe they are able to qualify for playoffs.
Group B:
C9
OpTic
FaZe
EG/LG
no specific order, these games will be close too
faze was a fluke, looked like they were trying their hardest to qualify and still barely did, if that's them at their best optic playing badly would beat them
NRG have 2 or so players who don't take it serious enough to get to VCT and even if they do they can't practice enough before it to properly compete imo
A
TGRD
XSET
100Thieves
NRG (Purely because tsm and ghost aren't meant to be there)
B
(the group which actually looks like it's a vct tourney)
1st optic/c9
2nd optic/c9
3rd Sentinals (i wouldn't rate them so highly but i feel like even at their worst they can beat luminosity eg and faze)
4th, Depends, Either EG or Faze, Depends who wants it more, both level teams and EG just changed a lot, different approach takes time to get used to but it also confuses teams you've always played against (jawgemo on jett)
where does this have anything at all to do with my point, at all, i didn't bring up their ranking or how "good they are", I brought up the fact they are inconsistent and can hardly win a match in vct, because they are playing against other people as good as them and they crumble under pressure unless mada is there to carry them through the pressure and keep their heads calm, They win hardly any "big games", like their run now they beat v1 and sen to qualify, both arguable inconsistent as well, sen are just playing badly but v1 just messed up and couldn't play very well against them, that doesn't mean they are a team which consistently wins, they lose against teams like complexity and tsm randomly while they play, that's not a "consistent t1 team" a consistent t1 team would playing badly beat tsm and complexity, u wouldn't ever see optic losing to them, u wouldn't ever see c9 losing to them, u wouldn't see gambit losing to them, they are consistent t1 teams, gambit questionable right now, but still
TGRD were also a new roster when they came into the scene and although they were new they got far in vct, people couldn't fight them and didn't know what they were gonna do, that doesn't make them consistent or good yet, they still need to prove themselves again this year, because frankly the second optic fought them once they lost consistency against them, now that t1 teams have some of faze's plays, it'll be different, how different is down to whether the teams think they are a threat or not.
