All Teams with homecrowd got eliminated early

Madrid: Team Heretics
Shanghai: FPX and EDG
Seoul: GEN.G

Sure I kinda agree with the LEV thing as they did get and easy group
But why the shot at SEN? Literally in the group of death with other Grandfinalist and FPX

Low-key imo they ong just lose

Imo, I feel like either one (TenZ and Pancada) could fit in the roster. But its also kinda wasteful if you bench either one of them, as it's just a waste of talent.

(My Opinion, take with some salt)

100T = Kept Cryo, Asuna, Bang, and have acquired Eeiu from M80 and Boostio from the 2023 Champs Winning EG Roster. This is a big upgrade from Stellar and Derrek. They have also acquired Zikz from EG, rounding out the team with some pretty insane talent. Though, I don't really "believe" that they would win big. This is because I don't think that the core that was kept from 2023 will do good, but that's just me. In my opinion, they will at least make only one masters event, and not get to champions.

C9 = Kept Xeppaa and Jakee, and have acquired wippie, OXY, and vanity. They did good against EMEA Powerhouse in Fnatic, though it was off/season, so I don't think they would be able to replicate what they did against Fnatic. But, their talent is strong, especially Xeppaa and OXY. Though, I don't see them making any Majors, due to them dropping mCe for immi, which I feel is a downgrade for staff.

EG = Kept Jawgemo, and (supposedly acquired) NaturE, supamen, Derrek, and unbenched Apoth. I think this roster is a little Mid in my opinion, but they have been winning Scrims. But, I don't see them doing anything globally. Even with a pretty good coach in potter, and her bringing out the best of last years roster, I don't think she will be able to replicate it with the current talent she has on the table, but I can be wrong. This is, unless EG is kicked from the NA VCT League.

FUR = Kept mwzera, liazzi, Khalil, kon4n, and acquired Havoc (A player rumored to replace Aspas). They have also made Koy the Coach, and dropped Carlao. This team (In my opinion), is the definition of underwhelming. Now, don't get me wrong, this team is strong, but not that strong to face the other teams in other regions, or some teams in their region. I just dont see Furia making any Majors.

KRU = This team is a bit sad to look at. Previous Year, they keep keznit, Klaus, Melser, and acquire Shyy and mta. They were forced to replace Daveeys (Rest in Piece, King), with a new player, and had to replace NagZ as well. It would be great to see them remake what they did in 2021, but sadly, I don't think they will be able to do it.

LEV = Kept Mazino, kiNgg, and acquired Aspas, C0M, tex, and nozwerr. This team has strong talent (Ex. Champs winning C0M from EG and LOUD Aspas), but with the current inner turmoil within the roster with nozwerr being benched, I don't think they will be able to hold it together before the season starts. But if they do, they will be strong contender, possibly making it to both Majors and get into Champions.

LOUD = Kept most the roster in Saadhak, Less, tuys, and cauanzin, and replaced Aspas with Quick. Also replaced fRoD with peu. Do I hope this roster can do good for the 2024 season? Yes, yes I do. Do I think that their roster will make it big? No. Replacing Aspas is like replacing a black hole, it doesn't feel the same. But, they might at least make champions through LCQ. But strong core and new good players, they could make it big.

MIBR = Kept RgLMeister, jzz, frz, and acquired artzin and mazin. Also acquired fRoD from LOUD. Already, insane coaching staff, with fRoD and bzka, both from LOUD, with both having really good seasons in the ladder. This team could really make it, as they have resolved the heat vs bzka drama within the team. MIBR has a chance to win it all.

NRG = Kept Victor, Crashies, and acquired Ethan, Demon1, and Marved. Already, great chemistry reuniting Marved with Crashies, Victor, and Chet. And added entirely new proven talent to the roster in Demon1 and Ethan. This team feels like original OPTIC, but replacing yay and FNS. Demon1 easily fills in for yay, but i'm a bit scared in the ability of Ethan's IGL'ing abilities. But, overall, great team, that could make it too all Majors and win it all.

SEN = Kept TenZ, Sacy, Pancada, and Zekken, and have acquired JohnQT, and reacquired Zellsis. Zellsis seems like he already has chemistry with the boys in red, and JohnQT seems to be a really good fit in SEN's team. Kaplan is a nice coach, which really rounds the team out. But with the benching of Pancada, it caused a bit of infighting. But, it doesn't really think it affected the team. They have a chance to go big and win it all.

G2 = They replaced TGRD, and acquired Valyn, trent, neT, and JonahP, and acquired Leaf from C9. This team has a proven core, and a player who did outstanding in C9's roster. They can make a Major and do good.

What's your opinion on all of the NA Rosters (Currently)?

From 2020 to 2024, what core do you (in your opinion), think is overrated?

Personally, I would say the original core from TL, being ScreaM, Nivera, and Jammpi.

Only Jammpi lived out all of the years, ScreaM and Nivera didn't.

(My Opinion tho)

After the 2022 Season, MIBR steal bzka from them

2023 Season, Loud picks up fRod, and as soon as they were looking back in form after champions, fRod gets poached by MIBR

MIBR is quite literally putting Loud into the floor by taking their Coaching Staff

(No offense to any Loud fans, just kinda funny that MIBR has poached Loud's Coaches for 2 seasons straight)

In my opinion if he was hypothetically picked up this season, which team would you think he would be in?

For me, I would love to see him on Giants /w Redgar.

DRX is a running on-fire train with people trying to bring coal to a broken furnace. There is no comprehensive way you can say that DRX 2024 is better than any of their other seasons. There is no way they drop Rb and Zest. I can understand Zest, Zest is usually underperforming as his role in all seasons he has played for DRX, but why Rb? Rb has been one of their best players for quite awhile, while being one of the best flex players in the game. There is no way that Termi would replace Rb and Zest, with Foxy9 and Flashback. No hate to the newbies, but I don't trust Termi. Switching up the roster has always caused the team to start crumbling. From the start of the 2023 season, the constant switching of Foxy9 with players caused DRX to underperform. How now with 2 new players, how will we know if they will perform?

I think they should just swap Termi out.

PRX 2-0 FS

PRX were able to handle TLN and Xerxia even with Benkai, but with the additions of PTC, JohnOlsen and Leviathan, it could be a little hard to deal with if they are able to pick a map off DRX. But even TLN, where foxz and sushiboyz came from, beat them, so im just gonna say PRX wins this with a swift 2-0. I could be wrong though

Im gonna start:

Team Heretics shouldn't have dropped zeek and replaced him with benjyfishy, and then replace most of their roster (AvoVa, mixwell, keloqz). Going into the season, they had potential, with a G2 core, one of Acends' best players, and a nice igl in Boo. But, they under performed, and were one of the worst EMEA teams in VCT. Honestly, they could've just replaced their Head Coach with someone better, and replace keloqz with a better duelist, and worked on team chemistry. This is my opinion and a hot take, so take this with a grain of salt.

Im predicting a SEN 2-1 close series. Even though I support PRX, they don't have Jingg anymore (One of their most impactful players), and Jingg even said in that Sen destroyed them, even when they had Jingg, so im gonna be for real and say that SEN closes the series 2-1 in convincing fashion

Reykjavik wasn't really that fraudulent and Tokyo was fine. In my opinion, it's Reykjavik 2021. Although yes, Sentinels run was legendary, but after that they just slowly started showing cracks right after winning. And it really shows when they lost to Envy (The team that they were better than) in Berlin and then losing to a Team Liquid that they would've been able to handle, and a underdog KRU.

1. There is already a world where EDG won against LOUD, and it's called masters tokyo, but its more than likely that both teams are up to there own strengths, but for real I think EDG might win the series with a close 3rd Map.

2. DRX is a amazing team, stop underestimating them. They finally solved the roster crisis, and are actually performing nicely. They can honestly pick a map off Fnatic, but honestly they have the potential to knock them out

yall chill, its the best duelists in the world, no hate for both im ngl

Termi Timemout is my idol
