Imo Loud, Lev, and Furia are locked in playoffs unless they fall off hard.
MiBR, C9, and NRG are favored as the next 3 but are not locked in.
Sentinels and 100 Thieves have the talent to make playoffs, but need to improve quick if they're gonna topple the above 3, let alone Loud, Lev, and Furia.
EG and Kru are out of it. Both will play spoiler and will likely make one of the above teams miss playoffs, but they're not good enough to consistently beat the aforementioned teams.

My predictions:
1- LOUD
2 - Furia
3 - C9
4 - Leviatan
5 - NRG
6 - Sentinels (betting on Marved)
7 - MiBR (Good win against NRG, but I still don't have complete faith in them to replicate it)
8 - 100 Thieves
9 - EG
10 - Kru

We're one event in to Franchising after 80% of the org's rosters had a notable change. We haven't even had the regional leagues start yet. Fnatic is definitely good, but I don't think they're unstoppable (just yet). Let them play every EMEA team and make another run at Tokyo, and then we'll see what the actual landscape of valorant is too.

(Also no one position at Tokyo is guaranteed, we're at a point where on any given day, the worst team could upset the best team, and it's about to make valorant so much fun to watch)

I have no idea who. I think both 3rd and 4th spot are wide open. Hoping Vitality and KOI are the one's who make it in though.

This site is like 60% trolls spamming the forums "YoU'RE reGioN SuCKs"

Really unfortunate for those who actually enjoy the game and want to see all 3 regions be competitive.

This literally felt like it was scripted. So yeah definitely the best.

This tourney as a whole doesn't tell us a whole lot about skill. There is exceptions though.

• Fnatic is scary good. Definitely the best of the "superteams" created this off-season.
• LOUD will be just fine with the 2 new players.
• DRX still the best APAC team.

Outside of that we don't really know who is gonna be good, and who isn't.

Nah, FNC's back will break eventually carrying EU.

NA isn't a region anymore in T1. Rooting for Americas to win it so we can get that extra slot.

This is the first bit of good news from them this whole tourney. Not even that one of their teams won, but that another from a different region lost lol

Ethan revenge tour starts now. Finals will be EG 3-0 100T. He will play Yoru, Harbor, and Reyna.

You called it

11-4 for NRG since this post. Good job.

Nah, meteor will get his. Pound for pound though, LOUD is better

Fnatic's inability to win the big one even though they dominate domestically continue to overshadow the players individual abilities. I don't know if derke is the second best player in the tourney, there's so many good players to choose from, but he's absolutely top 5.
