form is hard to predict

call me himothy him him then

2/8 never predict again

Typically the site is wrong at what time the Grand finals are because they have a show match before. I dont want to get up any earlier than I have too, so around what time will the GF actually start (im est)

Nah potter masterclass incoming EG to the top

already on there brother

he 13-0 Fnc on jett. If thats not star potential idk what is

id say they are on par with icy

G2 Look through this list to find a replacement. (Not alot of China/T2 cause I dont know them). Feel free to add more players!

Where are all the people saying hes good? Against any real duelist hes shit. Imagine if G2 had a real 5th, they could easily win. IMO Net senti Leaf duelist would have been way better. Only reason they looked bad at kickoff is they trolled puttin trent on viper and jonahp on sova.

woot has said he perfers flex over duelist, doesnt make much sense but seems like he will follow in Sayf and Leafs footsteps of giving up being one of the best duelists itw to play other role

not even the best on his team

How tf is everything going his way, bro is the main character of the fanfic fr

Most of the teams have 0 personality and are not compelling enough to root for.

GenG-they have cracked players but the players themselves dont have any personality besides texture and sometimes munchkin, just a worse version of 22/23 DRX
G2-probably the most boring team alive, just a worst EG from last year
TH-since they have a sub it feels like we arent watching the 'real' them and all their games dont mean much since this roster isnt even their final form
100T-probably the most compelling in the tourney but when Cryo isnt dropping 30 they look BAD
PRX-what made prx in previous years special was how they were cracked W gamers WHO HAD GOOD STRATS. Now they are back to their lock//in self where they arent doing anything good just throwing away their lives for no reason and its hard to watch. Go back and watch champs upper finals and see the difference in skill, brains, and descion making.
Fut-just a boring team, they have cracked players, but no real strats and get exposed against good teams
FNC-just look absolute shit, i see a lot of Derke hate but at least he stepped up (unlike chroncile how you get 2 kills not igling, botster had more impact)
EDG-last year they were one of the most compelling teams to root for now theyre just shit. Its hard watching them knowing how good they were vs how thy are now/
Lev-just boring, if aspas isnt droping 47 they cant win
FPX-prob the most intresting team, shame they went out early
T1-this team is just boring. Nothing notable about them.
DRG-mediocre china team. Nuff said

Compare this to teams at previous tourneys and how compelling they were
EG 23-underdogs that were shit now best in the world, becoming villians
PRX 23-cracked W gamers who actually had strats and depth to their plays
Loud 23-4 cracked players and tuyz had amazing strats were always a head of the meta creating comps everyone would use
FNC 23-superteam with everyone popping off, carried EMEA on their back
DRX 22/23-just loveable guys with cracked aimers and also did create some metas
EDG 23-only china team, cracked aimers with actual strats who upset all the best teams
Optic 22-NAs only hope, yay carrying the region on his shoulders
Sen Madrid-everyone rooting for them to make their mark and comeback to their prime

yeah not having litterally the 2 best caster duos in the world was a huge question mark for me. Makes it feel even more like a mickey mouse imo cause if rito isnt putting fourth their best talent what does that say about the talent of shanghai teams

nice try fed

Its because this is beat for beat what happend at Tokyo last year. The rito script writters arent even trying to hide it. Nobody gives a shit if weve seen this same shit before.
Format is (Tokyo team/Shanghai team)

The team with the upper map ban is the team who got to the first upper final of the year, lost to another team to lose 1st seed, but still make it back to win upper final (Fnc/GenG)
The team that won said region underperformed and went out 5/6 to an Americas team (PRX/Liquid)
Said americas team ended fourth after losing to a sub (NRG/100T)
Said team with a sub is going on a run and will end top 3 (PRX/TH)
Not to mention the americas team that somehow miracuolsy made it into playoffs due to another team (MIBR/Loud) upset the best team during regular season (C9/Kru) and went on to go on a heater that no one saw coming (EG/G2)
Not to mention the trash chinese team that went out 0-2 (FPX/DRG)
T1 not making it to playoffs (T1/T1)
Aspas' team choking once again and playing terrible (Loud/Lev)
And the best team of last year choking out without a single win (Loud/Fnc)

There are more similarities but these are the ones which stuck out too me the most. What did I miss? Rito please come up with a new script for Champs please, I want to be intrested in games again

1. EG 23
2. PRX 23
3. Loud 23
4. FNC 23
5. DRX 23
6. EDG 23
7. BLG 23
8. GenG Shanghai
9. Navi 23
10. G2 Shanghai
11. TH Shanghai
12. 100T Shanghai
13. PRX Shanghai
14. FPX Shanghai
15. NRG 23
16. Giants 23
17. Kru 23
18. Fut Shanghai
19. FNC Shanghai
20. Zeta 23
21. EDG Shanghai
22. Fut 23
23. FPX 23
24. Liquid 23
25. Lev Shanghai
26. T1 23
27. T1 Shanghai
28. DRG Shanghai

im gonna be honest i dont have a single memory of grubhino playing gonna remove him since apparently hes considered good

because ange1 hasnt qualed for an intl event since champs 22. Only reason navi got too intl was because of fnc, ange1 doesnt frag, he activley makes his teammates worse (Shao is one of the best initator players in the world and he put him on smokes just so his kd can go from .01 to .02). Thats my justification for why hes that low. For why FNS is so high is because of how he transforms the teams and players into superstars. Yay with fns-el diablo best player in the world by far. yay without-y0y trash. Marved with fns-best smokes itw w/out-cut and considering retirment, crashies w/fns best initator itw, w/out trash. Victor w/fns top 3 flex itw w/out trash. Som w.out fns-bottom t1 player som w/fns-top 3 smokes itw. Chet w/fns best coach itw (22) top 3 coach (23) w/out fns ch0t, exposed for being shit

This will be a ranking of every CURRENT player in VCT on how integral they are too winning for the team. I will say now that this will not be 100% accurate because many of these players I haven't seen much footage of. This will not include the people I don't know (so grubinio Kadavara Wildoreo All of china but EDG FPX, and Rb (because if you know anything else about current vct china YOU ARE A LIAR) This will be CURRENT so I dont give a shit if c0m is a champion or chronicle 3 peated, they will be ranked on current performances. Please keep this in mind before you go crazy over why your fave player is at 92nd.

yays had people hating him so much that his downfall is probably the most clowned on in history. If you were around in 22 you would no how much the community hated him for always beating their favorite teams. Tenz is litterally the poster child of valorant, THE pro player.

my bad accidently typed him twicd

Current:

1. Boostio
2. Less
3. Jawgemo
4. Aspas
5. Jinggg
6. Leo
7. FNS
8. Texture
9. Keznit
10. Oxy

All time:

1. Yay

5. Marved
6. Demon1
7. Alfajer
8. Less
9. Zmjjkk
10. Boostio

imo
tarik is usally boring af unless hes watchpartying with someone else that carries (my personal fav is boostio mans is too funny)
fns is also great because he always keeps it real, is extermly funny and knows whats going on since hes so smart
sliggy is...fine a bit boring imo as he doesnt really react to anything just analysis
platchat is extermly funny (especially todays stream the spot mini and leo bit had me crying with laughter) and since they are casters they do anaylysis decently
TMV is like a better sliggy imo, both their anaylisis is about the same (sliggy better ovb) but hes actually funny and entertaining outside of that

Shanks when watching EG is the best tho, mans is so funny and has me dying laughing every time

imo they should scrap the whole team and sign the former drx guys and stew
stew-duelist
stax-flex
zest-initator
izu-smokes
rb-sentinel

lots of eu frogs downvoting anyone speaking the truth about their shitty igl queen

fns in my head is the clear 1 based off of how he can turn shitties into goats and without him they are shitties (yay crashies victor marved were all best in role with him and without theyre shit, s0m was a bottom t1 player and fns turned him into top 3 smokes itw ardiis doesnt count because double agent)
boostio is 2 for the same reason (demon1 ethan c0m on eg vs on current teams, 100T before boostio vs with him), but only below fns because he has potter/zikz where chet is more of a hinderance than help
saadhak is 3 because he kept up with fns and turned rookies (aspas less pancada into literal world champions and cauanzin and tuyz into top t1 players)
from their it gets tricky because lots of igls havent been at the top for long enough to consider (boo mrfalin johnqt munchkin etc) or are carried by their team and cant get anything done without 3 players dropping 30 every map (boaster)

no wonder theyre shit

nah bro stellar with ttr will win ascencion

Almost all of them

fnatic havent cooked anything good since 2023 lock//in. They used the same comps and strats througout 23 and kickoff, changed their breeze and split (which are not up to snuff when it comes to top teams) so i doubt theyll cook anything. More than likely texture will shit all over them, boaster will start twerking with 2 kills, derke will still be called washed, and leo will drop 30 to win one map

well we all know why your dad left you now

Lebron hasnt won a trophy in 4 years why do people call him the goat? hes assh

duelist cryo
flex zekken
initator trent
smokes valyn
sentinel (igl) boostio
coach potter

if they cut munchkin for stax they could all be kim

1. SEN ( i think they will bounce back and look amazing, losing split is tough for them but their breeze was shit)
2. 100T (only reason i didnt have them above sen is its a matchup diff, not unlike how PRX cant beat TS)
3. EG (potter will once again shock the world, they beat 2 superteams already and with months to prepare I could see them at champs)
4. KRU (them not making shanghai will kick them into overdrive and will rile them up more wanting it so much more)
5. NRG (too many problems for poolchan to fix in a short amount of time. vic on jett will be a problem, as will the previous chem issues between the optc core)
6. Lev (dont have any chem and will get beaten by any team that can stand up to them firepower wise-as long as aspas doesnt drop 50)
7. Loud (even with pancada this team is sinking, too many problems to fix in a short ammount of time)
8. G2 (solid team. could upset those above them but they are constantly fire powered diffed)
9. C9 (oxy will try his best but the rest of his team are either mid or ass)
10. MIBR (frod could cook, but doubt he has the player qual to do anything)
11. Furia (mwzer0 lmao deathmatch merchant not good on raze)

2022 lil bro is NOT 5th
bcj amd benkai clear

potter.

Made demon1 best player itw, and without her is benched and shit
Made com the best initator itw and without her is shit going positive in 2 games whole season
Gave jawgemo a dog to become dawgemo
Gave ethans so good that he thought he was a better igl than boostio (we see where that fraud is now. they had to bring fenis back he was so ass)
Turned Boostio from a bottom t1 player to the big bad wolf eating all the piggies
MAde derrek back into his 22 lcq form
Turned apoth into the win condition
Turned nature from a mid t2 igl to a top t1 igl
AND SHE TAUGHT ZIKZ/BOOSTIO HER SYSTEM
Made Asuna good (no one thought it was possible)
Brought cryo back to his prime
Gave bang his aim back
Turned 10T from worst in americas to the best

if were talking player prob aspas idk
