Masters Lahore would go crazy ngl 🔥

Okay so now that 100T has more championship points than SEN and since SEN isn’t guaranteed anymore, I have this confusion - Suppose 100T qualified for Champs via Split 2 playoffs and not Championship points so we would still need to pick one team via championship points so will SEN qualify regardless because 100T already qualified by being top 3 and SEN would most likely be #2 in championship points? Also let’s say SEN and 100T both qualifies via playoffs so will another team who’s #3 in championship points ranking be qualified as the 4th spot in champs?

That’s good and goes along my list. It’s just i didn’t took consistency as a major factor. Just prime to define who was the best team at their peak.

I understand your point tbh but I feel the valorant has significantly grown since 2022 and players who were good back then aren’t as good anyone (nrg, yay) with some exceptions ofc (loud) I placed loud much higher than optic because loud players had that longevity and they adapted very well to the changing meta of the game. I believe any top team from 2024 will beat past teams like 2021 sentinels and 2022 optic.

Ranking isn’t based off any off season event. Only mentioned that to show how good they were. Also why do we assume that in off season teams just aren’t performing? Like beating a team in offseason still means that you’re better than them.

1 : LOUD (2022 champions LOUD)

• with sacy, pancada, aapas, saadhak and less this team has to be arguably the most stacked roaster of all time.

2 : SEN (off-season till Madrid form)

• won 17 out of their 23 games and beat almost every top team in the world while qualifying for masters with the hardest road possible not to mention in the off season they easily beat prx with jing who were considered the best team in the world. What most impressed me was their way of playing valorant it just felt so polished and amazing and all of the players feel connected with each other the syngery is the best in the world imo. Their current form is not good but I’m really confident that this team will end up top 4 Atleast in champions 2024 (I think they will win it tbh).

3 : EG (2023 champions)

• Pretty good team. Had amazing synergy and teamwork. Impressed me a lot with their playstyle I also feel they got a bit lucky in winning champions (not complaining this team was pretty good) but I also feel like paper Rex choked in the 2023 champions grand final (APAC curse).

4 : OPTIC (2022 Masters Reykjavik)

• Amazing team. Prime yay was something else and FNS was an amazing IGL (huge credits to him for this teams success) This team, like SEN, felt as if all the players understand each other and their synergy was amazing. Can’t put them higher because the level of valorant has changed (increased) than was it used to be but still I think had this team made franchising, we’d be consistently seeing them on top.

5 : LOUD (post 2022 without sacy and pancada)

• After their two of the best players left, this team was still looking amazing and was still capable of beating any team as we saw in lock in, had the worst choke of all time didn’t happen, they would have won. But after aapas left too, things started going downhill for them.

So this was my list (feel free to disagree) drop your thoughts down below 👇

(I FEEL LIKE EG AND SEN ARE EXCHANGEABLE I ONLY PUT SEN HIGHER BECAUSE PERSONALLY I THINK THEIR LEVEL OF VALORANT WAS BETTER AND OVERALL LEVEL HAS INCREASED FROM 2023 to 2024)

Flukers don't win 17 out of 23 games involving almost every top team in the world a major title.

Yea I did. From previous matches we can see that SEN 2-0 100T and then proceeded to have 2 very unlucky losses against LEV(aapas hard carried and zekken had a horrendous day) and EG (Sen should have closed at 10-2).

Is it crazy to say that SEN would’ve still been the best team to qualify from Americas to win Shanghai? Like I just don’t get the confidence that any of these teams will be able to beat the likes of PRX, TH, KC etc but if SEN qualified we’d honestly comfortably put them atleast top 3 teams to win Shanghai. In my opinion best representatives from Americas would have been SEN, 100T and LOUD/LEV. (I feel lev and kru are overrated and just had a fluke split) I’m hoping for a calm discussion guys.

From what I’ve seen I think it’s gonna be like : geng bans sunset and bind. geng picks icebox, sen picks split, geng picks lotus, sen picks ascent, breeze remains. Thoughts?

Feeling like cheering for the underdog so I'll go LOUD 2-1 DRX in this one, as for OPTIC vs XSET i believe XSET wins 2-0 (or 2-1)
