without beating an EMEA/Americas team

Well as long as they win the whole thing no one will have the right to talk and I think they definitely can win the whole thing.

Still the truth

More than ever

They're the favorites

Would go hard no?

Vitality definitely an org that would make it happen

We have never won our first round match at champions and Heretics is looking scary so yeah it's not looking good bruv.

would go stupid hard

WWWWW

I need it

Tiktok generation type comment

v Trace should be a close one but I think they win based on experience on the big stage

v G2 will be a battle of Valyn v Boaster so another close one which will depend on who shows up on the day

v TH will be tough since they know each other pretty well and TH has a bit more firepower so they would need to step up to beat them

Inject it into my veins

Would be such a high level match-up in terms of iq

21-22 Derke shitting on Keznit

Chronicle is the GOAT

MASTER OF ALL TRADES

I'll take it

FPX is gonna own Sentinels
BLG has a shot at beating Krü
1-3 at best

We did well

Vitality OT loss on Ascent
FUT slow starts v EDG

They can both still make it out

Fut lost because they had such bad starts on both maps

Americas looking to go 0-2 down and still got FPX v Sen to come

Good to have them representing our region

All the others are kinda crap

At times it's shit

But most of the time it's elite

They have won like 13/15 OT's they've played and always have these small comebacks from being like 4-5 rounds down

FPX legit has the potential to be a top 4 team

They would make it out of every other group imo

The level is crazy

We're not gonna get a lot of matches better than this one

TH is playing good wdym

One of these teams in group B will do a NAVI

Win 12 rounds/map on average and still don't make it out

You can say the same about Loud and Fnatic

Whoever makes it out of this group with Gen.G will be a big contender

Easily

Need that FNC v GEN.G grand finals so i can see my boys defending their throne

LESS + ASPAS

LEO + ALFAJER

METEOR x T3xture

Who has got a better shot?

Our map pool is insane

Fnc > Drx

VIT > Talon

TH < Gen.G

Fut < PRX

Lev > Trace

G2 > EDG

Krü > BLG

Sen < FPX

Meh could go either way

Would Americas do better?
Lev would beat BLG
G2 would beat Trace
Krü would lose to FPX

Sen v EDG? idk?

So close enough

and LOL

They exist but not for Valorant

If Sayf had turned up they would've beaten Trace

Don't know if Talon is better than Trace tho

comparing regional games to international one's

That's all I need to know about you

FPX is insane

Even Gen.G barely beat FPX while they destroyed all of the Americas teams

This is so damn true

Even NAVI (FPX) became chokers last year it's insane

Xdd

I mean Fnatic and TH > Lev and G2

The other 4 teams from EMEA and Americas are pretty mid

No we did not

Vitality should still make it out of that group

man I hope the others step up asap

Heretics looked alright but not good enough for my liking

always looking for a way to throw?

he was playing way below his potential in Shangai and they still got 3rd place

but at the same time you know they don't have what it takes to win it all

Probably makes top 3 tho

Prx (with a sub i must say) got absolutely demolished by Fnatic while they still came third and even took 2 games of EG in Tokyo.

I always felt like PRX was an easy opponent for us (2023- current roster) and it feels that way for G2 as well now.

just fundamentally superior

PRX is gonna own G2?

Should be a 50/50 in reality

I was only gonna come back if Fnatic won a game at champs: https://www.vlr.gg/357149/i-am-leaving/#3

If they shoot like they did today they can for sure lose to Talon

If they start shooting back they can still make it to playoffs
