Remember this is kinda a legendary rematch between the two
Back in champs 2021 KRU upset everyone by beating the "Masters winner" Sentinels
Feeling familiar?

Whoever got all right in all 4 pickems deserve a special prize, aint no one predicted right for all the games so far.... right...?

I know its still in BETA2 but im legit curious of what the actual rankings will like. Theres no way that DarkZero Esports will be on top of of the leaderboard even if they dominated Challengers.

Basically the entire SEN roster
s0m/ FNS
Tarik
y0y
Jinggg
Subroza
EG shanks
Elon musk
AverageJonas
VALORANT EMEA
Kyedae

Sorry man I was in a rush. Also the current GX roster was playing in 2023, the only one missing is nukkye and Rhyme

These players were INITIALLY in the start of franchising league and not in the T1 league rn. I will be ranking them on how much potential they have and how good they will do in the T1 scene
*(Only EMEA and AMER, no APAC because Im not into APAC that much)

Skye and sage heal all of them

2023 was the best year cause all the story lines, but 2024 LAN events have better crowds

I forgot to mention him but vansilli is a great caster as well. I love his voice because how deep it is and it gives out the energy

Facts Bren and Egg on top

I dont know if it is just me but
I feel like that I like casters that has a british accent because it gives out so much energy and brings the vibe up.
Not saying that I dont like the other american casters but English casters are my favorite

Its pretty much dogshit and I dont think u need to make playoffs if u have a lot of points (A lot of points in order for u to make champs), and the whole system is kinda dumb comparing what we had in 2023

Why tf is this post on my page when its from 2 years ago

KC 2023
FUR 2024 (Kickoff & Stage 1)
MIBR 2024 (Stage 1)
BLEED (Kickoff & Stage 1 & 2)

Who remove

Very controversial takes and no disrespects to any of the players below just talking my opinions! :D

c0m (Cmon everyone thought he was better than nzr but he IS NOT, needs improvement and need a wider agent pool)
Mindfreak (Great in APAC but kinda fells short in LAN)
Haodong/Nobody (Haodong is out of EDG in the recent game but Nobody is still a problem)
iZu? (A lot of players in T1 are the problem but iZu is very inconsistent, when he is good he will be very good but if it doesnt look good for him he looks very bad, same for saya)

Didnt bilibili gaming destroy ur team

Most of the chinese teams does not have good mental in LAN, not to be a hater I love the chinese teams but they get way too nervous at LAN events and underperforms

These are teams that won a championships before (Not including teams that consisted the same roster Example: Fnatic), if there is a tournament that consisted all the teams listed before who will win this tourna?

SEN: Dapr Shahzam TenZ sicK Zombs
GMB: Redgar D3ffo Chronicle Sheydos nAts
Acend: Kiles cNed Starxo zeek bonecold
OPTIC: Marved Crashies Y0y (Back when he was still Yay) FNS Victor
LOUD: Saadhak pANcada Less Sacy Aspas
EG: Demon1 Jawgemo c0m Boostio Ethan
*FPX not included bc of NAVI

C9. who else need talented players

They need an IGL but solid take ig

If no underperforming AMER teams pick up Zander it would be a troll

Patishit clears up Fenis and s0m

Yea lowkey i forgot about them whoops but I agree AG are acc looking decent Spitfire is acc a good duelist

... Maybe pANcada shouldve retired and qck stayed and ruined ur team

I know everyone knows that CN teams arent as good, some of them arent even as good as some Ascensions teams. But we have to realize that some of them are improving (Slowly), and I feel like that they just need a little push and more time and it will show their progress.

Teams that have much potential:
FPX (Almost beating 1st and 2nd in Shanghai)
EDG (Need a change in tactics and coaching crew but overall still average)
DRG (If Luke and Shion7 performs good they win if they troll they lose)
TE (Amazing talent and have one of the NRG opps)
NOVA (One of the worst chinese teams in peeps eyes but they are acc decent rn in the scene rn)
BLG (NRG opps and they lookin fresh with nephhh and the return of FNS)

Factss

W opinion but Fnatic might not want to drop hiro

Most likely no. Enzo was their IGL and I dont think they trust Patitek to IGL

This is like believing that China will win Champs

From the new vlr post I realized how good Patitek was and he deserves a spot in the Tier 1 scene, here are the EMEA teams that might pick him up in 2024 off season/2025:

EMEA:
Gentle Mates (He aint French but if M8 failed to perform good they will be back in ascension or challengers and Apeks arent letting them upset them again)
KOI (Yea most likely they would pick up him and there are like 3 other polish players in the team so)
TL ( Huge org comparing to other teams so Patitek might choose liquid over the "little teams"
GX (like KOI but GX have more talents)

They just need time. I am looking forward to Champions Seoul and how the CN teams perform against the best teams in the world. Sooner or later CN will become better than one of the other three regions hopefully

Just some random questions about the future VCT skinlines:

1. What is the future of champions bundle? I know it will be revealed soon but I am still curious what weapon they will release the skin on. They said it won't be a phantom or a vandal but what gun will it be? Or is it just going to be a knife skin. I dont think they will release a classic champions skin since we already have like 44 VCT classic skins.
2. Is there going to be a VCT 2025 bundle? If we had the VCT classic bundle this year what would the next ones be?
3. The ascension teams that are performing bad would be removed from the franchising league, so does that mean that their classics will be limited and probably never purchasable after 2024? (For example if BLEED still under performs in 2025 they should be removed from the league so does that mean that anyone who bought the BLEED classic got it as a limited time skin?
4. Are the VCT classics only limited for 2024?
   I might just be stupid but feel free to drop ur thoughts

How did he see you in the dark when he had vision problems? Are u a fraud? Are u lying about my king y0y? Shame on you man I thought you are better than this.

  • MIBR: None for me but Mazin/ Artzin if I have to pick any I guess

Only representing my own opinions. If you know you know why they are so goated, so no explainations.
Some teams might have 1+ players because I do not want to upset random player glazers and sometimes I am not sure about the "best" player

-FNATIC: Alfajer/ Chronicle (Leo if he wasnt benched)

bilibili has the potential to beat DRG, they lose if Luke is performing good but if Luke is performing bad womp womp DRG lose 0-2

Ngl if there are going to be any changes (Which I doubt no where they are going to let go their star players) FPX might pick up Smoggy and let go Lysoar since he is the weak part of the team

I was on both X and instagram and there was polls and TL was the favorite on both sites. Maybe on Twitch it was different

Sowwy

I dont know if we can all agree but today is probably the day that you don't have a perfect pickems anymore

NAVI lost to GX??? GX is still one of the worst teams in EMEA rn and theres no way that the FPX roster that won a MASTERS TROPHY lost to this team
TL lost to BBL??? TL has so much talents like nAts and Jamppi (I know a lot of ppl calls him frauds but he is decent) and some veterans like Enzo and Mistic, and keiko is insane for a T2-T1 player.

I dont know i just dont think that there were any upsets in the franchising era that can compare to today, and not to mention that these two happened in the same day

Didnt he say since 2023. I know that KRU probably had some achievements pre-franchising

??? since when I talked about the future. Oh yeaaaa i did say that EDG would become the worst team in the region if they stayed the same and does not improve because they have the TREND of becoming the worst team in the region, which are showing RN and they are losing RN to some of the worst team RN

Ohhhhh ok my bad, cause i thought u were talking abt the whole AMER region bc it was often shortened to NA. Yea u got a point

Wait no way Furia and MIBR placed top 4 in a LAN event right... Nor did KRU or LEV. I dont know i might be tripping

First im saying that "we will have to wait and see if sentinels is the best team in americas"
Second im saying "still a great team I would say they look as good as PRX" to GENG meaning that they are almost tied 1st place with minimum differences in my opinions
Third im saying that if EDG does not improve at all they have the potential to become the worst team bc everyteam around them are improving and evolving their strategies

Go watch a game or two? Buddy I watch way more VCT CN games than u when u cant even understand chinese. Go on bilibili and actually find a valid recap of EDG games and u will see my point donkey

Wtf man

By some random player in EMEA yes they dont want to play against the full force FNATIC

I dont know how ur noticing all this but good for u
def going to focus on alfajer is always reaching for his nut sack

Respect it brotha EG is def underrated but Im seeing ppl praising them after winning against LOUD and NRG
