no forsaken on the list is a disrespect

im like biggest monyet hater atm but lets not ignore experience and prx ability to surprise teams with unorthodox strats

3-6th are close to each other. EDG dominate the entire region and arguably the 3rd most experienced team on the tournament. no reason to not put them high

dont underestimate the power of on form. remember EG won cuz they're on hot streak

yeah i'd say they're between 3-5 on the odds now. though experience is their biggest question

they did kinda yeah lol. but did it really count when their first experience hasnt shown anything yet :D

i aint underrating anybody but one thing for sure SEN and LOUD still the favorites

(rank sorted by experience and form)

1. SEN - the favorites to win this event. pre season win and now kickoff win 🔥 on form but did they reveal too much strats on the run? that's the question.
2. LOUD - still the most consistent team itw. SEN was on fire, they're still the team to beat.
3. PRX - underwhelming, but they're still consistently a major force to reckon especially when they're known to surprise teams who face them the first time. big question is will monyet make a difference this time?
4. EDG - still the best team in china by a mile. their playstyle still relying on their insane firepower. the question is will they make adjustment when facing western teams?
5. KC - don't sleep on this team. this team rise from the grave by signing bunch of rising stars. especially on n4rrate and marteen, this is their breakthrough year as rookies.
6. Gen.G - the most improved team of the year. signing t3xture who's the best duelist in apac atm certainly make a big impact. They're gonna be a dark horse this tournament.
7. TH - the team who's known for brothers play together as a team. this is gonna be their first valorant international LAN. also don't sleep on benjyfishy he's a known champ (even if hes from fortnite)
8. FPX - underrated team than people realized. their loss against EDG was actually more closer than people thought. they still have some problems with calls from their igl. Also first OCE representative on international LAN?

3/8 of the teams are gonna be having first international LAN experience. the year of underdogs? 🔥

no need to laugh at them these 2 teams are the favorites to win madrid

every play in winner became a champion so masters madrid can build more hype and balance the betting odds fr

its a format what counter strike have been using

so basically every team face against each others in their own group until they get the amount of wins they needed
(loser vs loser, winner vs winner)

in cs 3 wins and you qualify from group
bo1 in lower stakes matches and bo3 in higher stakes matches and if teams go undefeated they get highest seed

not even a legit nrg meat rider. dude is a demon1 fanboy

most braindead user here who worship demon1 and hes not even baiting

SEN played better when theres stakes meanwhile PRX played better when they have low expectation lol

tbh i sorted it based on experience

1. LOUD
2. PRX
3. SEN
4. EDG
5. KC
6. Gen.G
7. TH
8. FPX

so excited to this new era. only 4/8 of the teams have experienced the actual international tournement before

never seen a fanbase so worshipful towards cockyness. i wonder what will happen to them when their idol fell off performance wise

facts

these demon1 dickriders all of a sudden missing 😭😭
remember those guys had EG flair b4

cope. dickriding arrogance is cringe

get humbled rq 😭😭😭😭

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
imagine worshipping cringe arrogant kid

hahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahaa
ripbozo to all his cringe arrogant kid worshipper

🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

yall been a punching bag in EU last year its about time for french revolution to happen

as expected from alecks. strategic underperformed

genius mindgames

need more copium dose from them fnatic fans

monyet going super saiyan
something unlock his inner protagonist
alecks cooking up new meta to surprise everyone

congrats prx for winning 2nd place in madrid 🙏

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

snuck bleed in like we wouldnt notice 😭

this is gonna be a masterclass jinx when eg qualify

well now apac has more chance to win than EMEA

dont jinx it

derke is a fraud

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

tencent own riot duh

praying for SEN to humble diamond1 but i doubt

tenz based off popularity as part time streamer (dude has his own mouse)
ethan based off tournament achievement

KC 3-1 whoever qualified

how about this: swiss system first 3 matches win qualified and no need pointless grand final

basically just copy cs2 major format

this is a good copypasta material thanks bud

thats literally why they decided it with a draw. so its 50/50

maybe in a young team. i remember someone said a team wont work if its full of old/young guys, its better in a mix of both. i think its fns/tarik who said that

they still can bench him. at least wait until the league start

its demon1 dont believe shit what he says

go all the way to gf and win the whole thing?? (vs loud)

SEN have a big chance even if its against NRG i believe. but yeah easier vs EG

https://valorantesports.com/news/vct-2024-season-start-eyntk/

C#1 vs B#1 its supposed to be prx vs drx
tf u talking about

nope if its according to rules pacific wouldve had prx vs drx

based on performance so far SEN got the most matches and they probably going the same route as Gen.G. they might actually win the gf too (would be funny if its against loud)
