OpTic...😢

What is your favorite VCT/VCL team and why?

Is it conditional? Would yo ever stop being a fan if certain player/staff member left?

For me is FNC, I've been a fan since 2022, and I've always been there because of Boaster and Derke. My fanatism for this roster increased once Chronicle joined

I would stop "supporting them" the day Chronicle leaves/the day they win a Champs event

that's bull

title

Yeah, I know about Nzr and Havoc

FURIA always gives me weird vibes, they could be a much scarier team, but they're just not consistent enough

If FURIA isn't broke they could make some nice pickups this year

Less, Aspas, probably cauanzin...

Imagine Aspas and Nzr back together, if you just make a team that keeps Aspas content, you might just be a contender to win championships

I'm talking all time, RienS, for example is def top 10 right now but not of all time

Is tough to make a list of only five names mano

Sayf, Alfajer, Leo, Aspas, Yay, Sacy, Less, Marved, there's a lot of players that could deserve that title

TenZ, Chronicle, Derke, pANcada, f0rsaken (no particular order)

I'd say he is

imagine g2 demon1 and g2 jawgemo...

tenz said that he would sub in if sentinels needed it

0/8

is curry and tenz going to step in just for the quali?

jawgemo zekken sayf zellsis

I think some ppl are sleeping on BME

To be honest, this is the hardest top 4 to predict in any ascension

Ok, real shit, who's winning this?

Team I want to win: RIDDLE

Team I think will win: Sin Prisa Gaming

Playoffs is def possible, but I really doubt they qualify to any events

I only see them defending their slot in relegation

The way I see it is that 2G will not qualify no anything and the other brazilian teams will buy the players

Fr bro they should keep him in bench and ruin his career so he can't play against FNC

Derke has the final decision

People on the internet get too comfortable

Try saying this to him, or with a facecam on

You wouldn't, because you're a pussy, you only say stuff like this because you know you'll get away with it

Moose is what neT was on G2, just a mid sentinel

Has his moments here and there, but nothing too special

For me is more the fact that a no-name org with a logo designed by AI ascended to VCT

If was an org like Fluxo, PaiN, Red Canids, Viva Keyds... It'd be 100% more hype imo

But ig that esports orgs have to start a name for themselves somewhere, so this might the beginning of something bigger for the brazilian scene in FPS

Crazy thing is that TGRD didn't ascend because they were having economic struggles or anything, they failed to meet the deadline to agree to the team participation

So it was TGRD's fault lol

Right, why pickup mada, bdog, koalanoob, reduxx, corey, sym, or penny when you can pickup a tier 3 player that has proven nothing

And Demon1 is 1 in a 1000 players. Try to give a chance to every tier 3 duelist and see how that ends

where did you get this from?

VIT vo0kashu would go hard

Not Spike tho, he won't play

Liquid needs him

N4RRATE is an upgrade

Bang is a good controller, but I'm not so sure about him

runi moose icy bcj nismo wouldn't even make top 4

AMER:

• Zander
• aproto
• skuba
• brawk
• mada
• stellar

EMEA:

• kamyk

• MAGiK

• Fizzy

• WACKIE

• elllement

• DaviH

PAC:

• Seoldam
• Persia
• freeing
• juicy
• PapiChulo
• dos9
• sultan
• Sushiboys
• foxz

Yeah, it's sad. Kazakh players would never get a chance to play in EMEA teams

i'm a sens changer demon but currently .32 800 dpi
asc3 peaked immo2

There's a lot of teams that are willing to pay Aspas' buyout

and NRG placed 10 with crashies victor ethan demon1 and marved

it's not about the players, it's about the team culture and team chemistry

Agree to disagree. Maybe it's because I'm a SEN glazer

Fr bro you should coach LOUD instead

They are insane bro

2G will not have Spike

I am assuming Aspas is leaving

MIBR is looking to build an international roster like LEV. There's a lot of NA talent from T2 that they could get

SEN is trialing players who are already upgrades from what they had before. Assuming they get N4RRATE and Zander, the team will look a lot better and consistent in my opinion. And even if they don't get N4RRATE, they can get NiSMO, or Brawk, and even if they can't get Zander, they can get Skuba, or Jawgemo. This is the best off-season for Sentinels right now

Sin Prisa Gaming/2G

Apeks looked solid but not strong/dominant

Xi Lai Gaming looked dominant but I wasn't really impressed (tbf, I only watched upper/lower and grand final)

They already placed 9th, can't play worse than that

If and only if, they bet on rookies and new talent (instead of recycling like the other brazilian teams) honeymoon factor could benefit LOUD

senti aproto/neT
smokes skuba

Teams that will improve:
G2, KRÜ, MIBR, NRG, SEN

Teams that will be the same:
100T, C9, FUR, LOUD

Teams that will get worse:
EG, LEV, 2G

Can they even afford to move to LA in less than 3 months?

If they don't make it, will the roster be able to compete?

Can Spike even play next year?

No one is "signed" yet, but they already reached a verbal agreement with M8

https://x.com/anonimotum/status/1837113412259586193

This isn't M8

Something doesn't add up

They already signed RobbieBk and Minny

But ScreaM, Sh1n, K4DAVRA, and nataNk are scrimming

There can't be 6 players on the same team

C9

Every NA team will want him or at least trial him, but it's the best alternative they can get right now

What does this mean for the org?

Are they going to compete for one more year?

Are they going to wait until a team gets kicked from franchise/they repeat the applications?

This is a really hard hit for NA VCL
