Out of the teams you've mentioned, only Sen, TLN or T1 even have a slim chance to make it out of groups

1. Not part of VCT
2. It was right after masters Toronto which means that the teams that were there had less time than the one who weren't or were eliminated early,
3. it also split China stage 2, so the chinese teams were already playing in the new meta and had to switch back to the previous patch
4. It started with a single maps and only then went into 2 maps
5. A lot of teams were either playing with Subs, testing new rosters, hiding strats or just running past strats instead of using anything innovative
6. Single Elimination playoffs
7. The qualifications for teams that weren't top 2 at stage were really hectic where technically coaches could just talk to their players
8. A lot of tech issues
9. Some teams like Wolves, TL, and other good teams didn't qualify because they didn't try hard in the qualification matches, so there ended up being teams like KC, and BBL who aren't terrible and then TEC(which is terrible) which are obviously not the best out of the teams that could have been there.
10. Not on Lan

And there are probably a many more reasons you could point out.

Prime demon1 never disappeared he was only contained by Chet and Itopata being shit coaches who would find a way to put f0rsaken on an off role.

I thought this said kingbob and it was about kingbob retiring from VLR for a second and I was very happy. But now I am not so happy.

Truck-kun

Don't even know why your even getting down voted for this. The person posting this is probably fatter than every player on G2.

Its so good to see you back and acting just like yourself. You really are everything wrong with VLR all combined in one person.

Being a level 999 level ragebaiter is just one of his many defining features

He was a different breed of a Sentinels fan and rage baiter. Also he is probably the most downvoted user on this website.

There's only one problem with this and that is EMEA would actually have to win a trophy and we all know that's not happening any time soon.

Not really, it lacks any enticing hook or anything interesting about it. A better title would be something like "EG Melts Icy away and EG Seeks to Ignite their Roster with Okeanos."

Yay is washed, he doesn't belong on a super team. This is like if you put FNS on NRG, it would never work out.

I think he's referring to Icy, which is possibly the player with the least aura in all of Americas

Both

Watch ascension

Maybe Foxy9 was the problem

Just because you can't find anything wrong with what I said doesn't mean you have to resort to using a stereotype that isn't even remotely true, its just propaganda that mass media has told everyone is true.

Ah yes because dominating a mickey mouse where a bunch of teams were playing with subs, or trying new rosters, or where only teams who've never won a trophy or were in massive need of money tried while teams FNC, PRX, G2, and Sen were all just running the same strats they were in Toronto.

Before champs started there were so many threads about Americas being worse than Pacific and EMEA and how the competition in Americas was inferior to the other regions and how Americas would regress into irrelevance like CS or League. I want to see the people who made those threads talk now, especially the delusional EMEA fans who put their one team region on top.

I mean I wouldn't say he's the worst because the players on GenG apart from t3xture exist. But he definitely needs to work on his mental.

Imagine at the start of the year you told this site that NRG would be carried to Champions GF by Brawk and Skuba with Ethan as IGL and s0m and mada not being the most impactful players. You would be called delusional.

I mean the problem with miniboo is how inconsistent he is and how his mental just disappears after a few rounds that don't go Team Heretics way. Its hard to have a player like that and find any consistent success. Also, miniboo almost always only performs regionally and not internationally which is a problem when you are trying to win international events.

Crazy that he had marved, demon1, ethan, crashies, victor, fns, and s0m in 2024 and still managed to fail.

It won't change until after 2026

Delighted is too busy posting on VLR to be good at games, its not his fault, in fact its VLR's fault for letting post as much as he does. I promise as soon as he stops posting on VLR he will be the greatest gamer we've ever seen

These are just all the names of the people who didn't agree with you. Also, this won't change the fact that NS sucks and might not even win ascension.

How many post will delighted have by the end of the year?

Whoever wins ascension gets a guest spot in franchising and gets to participate in tier 1 for the year.

What does that have to do with your team making it back to tier 1?

Delighted orating about how its not fair that Team Secret isn't playing and how T1 are frauds despite Team Secret not even being at the event which made autumn furious, and that caused the rest of t1 to tilt which allowed Loud to...

I mean NRG will 100% ban it because they have a 0% win rate on it while FNC has a 50% win rate and NRG is so bad at the map they can't afford to float it, so I think NRG is going to ban Sunset no matter what unless FNC ban it first.

When saadhak who is playing harbor suddenly smokes of his own team from the plant and then...

Fix JDG or AG

Just worry about your team even making it back to tier 1

NRG always ban Sunset first so it'll probably be more like this:

NRG ban Sunset
FNC ban Corrode
NRG picks Lotus/Abyss
FNC pick Bind
NRG ban Haven
FNC ban Abyss/Ascent
Ascent/Lotus Remains

Say welcome to the new NAVI HC Ange1

Before the season started I thought Furia was going to be good so I picked them to go on a run to Americas third place in my Kickoff pickems. I learned my lesson after I watched the Brazilian roster play for the first time.

I mean its still an advantage because there is a lot more money in tier 1, there is better competition, and if you do really good then Riot might consider your team for a spot in franchising when they refranchise over a team like Furia.

flair

This is Loud level's of shit player management

Ghost them

I mean Sen won Madrid, placed 4th at Champs last year, went to every international this year even if they didn't place well. That's all success whether you want to admit it or not. Also they are one of only very few teams to own more than one trophy. So lets not act like Sen isn't a successful team because they obviously are even if their fans annoy you and you don't want to admit it.

Its not like every other player on this list is doing their job, and still have a higher kill differential. Or that players who play entry duelist statistically have a much higher chance to die on than any other role and despite that 5 of the 6 players on the list play 1st entry while Chronicle is almost always 3rd or 4th entry, playing post plant or lurking which would almost certainly give him more favorable duels and trades.

I mean that doesn't really matter because if we take Aspas's numbers from before franchising the disparity would be even larger.

Also, Aspas is taking more contact with enemies even when baiting which gives him a much higher percentage of dying and he stills wins the majority of those engagements. Now Chronicle who just plants spike and the runs away for post plant, or is lurking on the other side of the map doesn't have contact with nearly as many players, in fact he is often one of the last players alive on his team.

I'm noticing a lack of a certain FNC player who people think is the goat on this list, I wonder who could it possibly be.

It will probably just be be red bull home ground, Ludwig x Tarik, Soop, Tixinha Invitational and Sen City Classic. At least those are usually the annual ones.

Sen fans actually haven't been that bad recently tbh, they get increasingly worse as they win more matches at internationals, so if they win an event its hell but if they get grouped like Champs this year they aren't all that bad.

To EMEA where FNC saved him from his abusive ex chet.

Depends on context, sometimes I use whom in when saying something like "to whom it concerns"

Probably Stellae, RED Canids, Los Grandes, 9z, Shinden, Team Solid, and 6K(Even though Mexico is North America, they are a LATAM team for some reason, it actually doesn't make sense). Also if new slots tier 1 open up Glorys, RETA and All Knights might rejoin.
