I think the ranking will change massively at least in Shanghai. Most teams are settling after roaster changes and I think teams like nrg t1 fnatic will get a lot stronger.

Nrg vs fnatic. Too early to say though. I even think most of these top 4 teams in madrid won't even make top 5 in later events especially champs

I have seen some people saying that it's cope that last year champs top teams are stronger than Madrid teams and would beat them. I mean it's the start for the year and not all teams have settled properly after changes. So seriously no one thinks that champs eg or prx aren't better than current teams right? Also like do people seriously think this prx is better than champs prx?

He said in the interview that the team is not as good as last year also is struggling with comp issues and isn't in form so he doesn't regret or feel anything after losing that geng game.

Well that is somewhat true tho. Beginning of the year and many teams changed roasters and haven't settled properly. Like noone thinks last year champs eg wouldn't win this event right?

Depends on how prx is in that day. Too momentum and form based team. If something and mindfreak make a comeback I can see prx winning despite the veto.

Which teams do you guys think will be the best teams by the end of this year? I will give early prediction that at least two of nrg, fanatic prx and drx will be in top 5

Bruh only team emea defeated is fpx also only when fpx threw so many rounds and cause of berlin lotus. Man rip emea. Don't worry tho I am pretty sure fanatic will comeback stronger.

Got defeated by prx which lost to edg. Rip emea.

If prx reaches finals I think they would be the strongest competitors for geng no especially if something and mindfreak can comeback to their form or monyet can play good raze? How is prx map pool against geng?

He had off day. Tbh he looked like a bot against everyone today. Had such a bad series.

Hard to say tbh. I think one of those ban sure going to be sunset but the other ban is hard to guess. Depends on which team makes finals

And so what? He was top 5 at least according to stats before this match. And one bad series and you start hating on him and actually cause of his fans bruh clown comment.

They have been so good so far. Especially the split anti starting by them was so good. And sen was indeed looking to have best split but today they got destroyed in their best map.

Tbh lotus and split has been geng good maps too.it was actually the split where sen completely lost the series. Such a good prep by geng coaches.

It's so surprising though they were getting pretty badly destroyed in Pacific late stages but then yoru changed everything

Won't ever win any bo3 without winning a single pistols bruh

Only StarCraft not dominated by kr nowadays. Tbh serral is too good.

Sen breeze still looks so bad at least so far. I thought they would have improved by now. Also 0-5 in pistols today

Geng had some hero rounds too from meteor and won 2 pistols

Hope he makes a comeback. He is having a rough day so far.

Such a off day for tenz so far. Timing aim everything going wrong for him so far. Hope he comebacks.

You must be 100+ years old then for sure. If you mean modern day racism then Korea aren't pure either.

More like anti strat and really good prep but sen also looked a bit poor.

In world war era obviously. You meant to say heard I guess not seen.

Probably American. They use fahrenheit scale.

See my favorite team is edg and sen after them so I always defend them. Why? Cause I just like to for no reason. I gain self satisfaction defending my favorite players or teams if they aren't in the wrong.

And edg vs Navi is still one of the most fun games from masters. They brought loud in champs almost to a loss. Most viewers watch the matches for entertainment not to learn strats or plays. If you don't like them just don't watch their matches lol. Not You or any one of us can do anything to remove cn slots or anything like that. So already stop crying like a kid bruh.

And don't watch lol. Bruh you and most people are watching the games for free. Just don't watch cn games if you want to watch high quality games. And nobody is forcing you to watch the matches as well. Such a dumb argument lol.

So? Ok prx had bad day too. I mean after jingg loss they have been struggling a lot so they are indeed weaker rn. But still cn teams especially edg has shown some amazing plays and games and one bad day and you start yapping lol.

And top 5-6 in masters Tokyo and champs still better than a lot of teams. And cn region still really underdeveloped in the technical strats part. Just see how fast edg have improved. And other cn teams have been improving as well.

Bruh prx got defeated by one of those team. And one bad day for the same team and you all start yapping like this. Not expected this from a person with prx flair.

Bruh again someone crying about that. Bro thinks we viewers or he is some CEO or owner of tencent who can just remove cn slots lol.

And looked like they had no prep for that map as well. Coaching staff or whoever picked that map was criminal.

Also the inconsistency of their players and loss of jingg. Something has been such a downgrade compared to his form last year. Also true too many comp issues.

This good of a team* lol no way you said that.

Apart from jingg absence something inconsistency has been the biggest problem for prx this year. he was their second best player in champs according to stats and even pacific mvp but he has been so inconsistence so far this year.

Edg and prx I think are the most momentum based or emotional teams in vct. Like they way they just look lost when they have no momentum is so sad to see. At least prx has better mental I would say. Which other teams are like these two in vct?

Nah lol they might win but now way are they dominating prx. Prx with jingg was too good.

Jinggg loss might be the worst loss so far for a team in tier 1 valorant no? especially in this raze meta.

Just shows how important jingg was for prx especially in this raze meta. His absence has created so many issues for the teams especially since monyet raze hasn't been that good so far.

Prx struggling so much cause of jingg absence and something bad form. Don't know what happened to something. He has been so inconsistent this year.

Nah lol you don't even know how they are. I have already seen enough already in various eSports. Western and sea eSports audience are known to be the best not east Asians.

As if Koreans would go watch eSports which doesn't include Korean teams. Everyone knows how biased east asian eSports fans especially Chinese and Korean fans are lol.

There are many insane individual players. Skilled players aren't the problem for china. Lack of good igls and coaches is the main problem rn. Mechanically there are so many that can contend with top global players but technically the teams are too behind.

They should make some changes especially in their coaching staff. Their strats and prep was so stale against loud. Even sadhak said he was surprised how edg picked icebox. Edg looked like they had no prep for the maps they played against loud. And this team is too emotional such that once they get under pressure or momentum they get lost so badly which happened today and in geng game.

Edg mentally boomed.

Better not watch it. Edg couldn't even shoot today. Most mentally boomed match from edg. And loud read their every move completely.

Bruh I guess you have no knowledge but every person in this world apart from America pray every single day to their gods so that he doesn't play in pro level cause if he does America would dominate every country in eSports for eternity.

Then what would be the most mechanical skills based shooter game?
