no, technically they aren't
EDG lose all their games they end with 14
FPX has 8+ 5 from wins + 1 from 1 playoff win(getting a bye) = 14
then if FPX go 0-2 in playoffs after that, then either EDG and FPX play a bo3/5 to see who makes it
or FPX make it because they beat EDG in groups in stage1
yeah it is, but its for reference how dropping him means they instantly have a better igl in runi running the show and more firepower
T1 yes they played abominable, but PRX and RRQ are both top 10 teams imo coming into split 2
so its just 1 bad loss, womp womp
i really don't think loud and NRG are question marks going by history, especially not LOUD
Saadhak's worst 1/3 to end the year was 2021 where he almost beat gambit (vikings choked)
and FNS i've already stated hasn't missed an event since reykjavik 2021
yeah SEN were burntout
i don't expect madrid form again, but it should be an approximation of it to 85% efficacy, which i rate above both G2 and Kru
EDG, FPX trace
one of DRG and allgamers, but i'd favor DRG
who would you put above SEN? i ask myself that and i don't think of anyone besides 100T
YOU ARE GOING BALD IN A FEW MONTHS
obviously im biased but i think "lowkey decent' is an understatment >:(
i think top 5 are easy, bottom 7 are easy, and the rest is more difficult
in retrospect them losing to G2 was very good because 100T would've beaten G2 in lower round 3 and then probably beat TH off of momentum + TH wouldn't of prepped them as hard because they'd of prepped GenG instead
LOUD sure, but i thought KRU were a better team vs the field than G2 in americas playoffs (G2 def leveled up at shanghai but i think KRU will have as well) , and that Kru vs G2 is just an awful stylistic matchup for them (in a similar way its an awful matchup for PRX-G2)
M8, EG, Vit, Secret are very fluid teams i could see moving up or down some spots
if by Zeta down GiantX up you mean switching them, that's fine, but beyond that plus moving furia above zeta i don't see either team having much movement
TL could move above Vitality and secret, but i would not have them above BBL
#5, but no I think every team above them maybe besides Lev who have aspas will either out call or out-strat them. I don't trust their midrounding to be good if stax hated it so much to leave there clearly wasn't an alternative that was close to stax's calling because they would've used that instead in order to keep stax
i should add that I think 1-19 are all extremely quality teams and that this may be the deepest Valorant has ever been 1-20
explanations (if needed) in spoilers. i'll explain ones i don't have explanations for if u want
for GenG and heretics(and 100T, but less so them bc they get furia week 1), I do think they'll stumble a little but i am 100% certain they'll regain form unlike some other teams that made playoffs this split
i don't think this needs an explanation, but i've always been a big heat believer and i thought they were just got really unfortunate playing G2 who hard counter them stylistically, and that loss got them off balance vs Lev
saadhak, he's always good at the start and end of the year
they were 3-1 with their full roster, including a win vs GenG in the last week of the regular season, got a huge upgrade with monyet > Flip
they aren't changing, other teams are just hoping them imo with the extra prep
this seemed like the great collapse but for PRX instead of winterhold (skyrim reference)
FNS has not missed an event since reykjavik 2021, i have no reason to doubt him now
they'll be great domestically but their bigger issue is playing vs other playstyles which playing against EMEA does not help with at all
another example of what looked like the great collapse, FNC could easily go 0-4 this split if they lose their first game vs BBL, i have faith in leo that he will drag them(mostly boaster) kicking and screaming to the point they are better than the rest of their group
firing their coach (if lev is smart) should lead to a full restructuring of how they play, which will hamper them short term, but should yield much better results long term, so for the time being, they are 14
enghh makes up for magnum
them losing stax means their calling should be even worse than before. if they had a caller at a similar level to stax he wouldn't be igling(even if he was slightly better at it) because he hated it
i trust frost
vanity holds them back, drop him and pick up scream and they instantly are a better team
this assumes kadvara replaces wailers, which is a huge firepower upgrade, but we genuinely don't know
T1 have made a number of stupid decisions in their time in valorant, and from what they said, it sounded like they'd be using a 6 man roster, which NEVER WORKS
definitely the hardest team to rank
idk where to put secret i could see them moving up to 19 or down to 25 with no friction
Vitality
i've had them as high as 6th before, but I can't see the team changing too much from where they ended and they lost to koi
mistic + enzo hold the other 3 back
I have less faith in redgar than i do in Paper rex not choking
big xand believer
crazyguy
no bzka
respond to my other question boi
edit: I GOT TIMINGD
but at the same time swvyboi might be more savable, dort is just a dumbass while swvyboi is like under propaganda
wasn't gambit Kazakh when they won in CS? i may be completely making this up
glad ur doing ok
i'm doing much better than i was 30 minutes ago.
just finished my non-chinese teams rankings coming into shanghai, not exactly happy with them because i have to do a lot of guesstimating with what teams like T1 and Furia are gonna do with their roster, but i think overall i've done a good job with them
do u wanna see em
i highly disagree, most people had PRX making upper finals(like say 75% of people)
upper finals on the other side of the bracket was split between 100T, FNC, GenG
when was munchkin in tier 2? the only possible timeframe is for stage 2 of 2022, and at the time he was signed to t1 according to thespike.gg
meh.
some paranoia because of a combination of things but besides that im good
hbu
you personally miss 100% of the shots you do take so i don't see da difference
i wouldn't bet on either side winning
they'll make champs imo, because for them to not qual 100T also have to not qual which is pretty unlikely given their group basically guranteeing them a top 2 spot
pacific is probably not something since he might just play jett and glide
there's between a 33% and 50% chance one of these 3 doesn't make champs
the best version of 100T was 2021 berlin who was a top 3 team at the event...
GX no their group is too hard, vit def have a chance
yes, the choking transfered to the valorant team at madrid
it was 11-3 and the map ended 13-10....
NVM i read more
they revolutionized viper-habor, not double controller
5 years after russians find their ulfric stormcloak it might be back
champs 22 LOUD > every other team ever
but yeah GenG 24 = LOUD 22 as a whole
IF I WAS LIKE THAT I WOULDN'T BE ADMITTING IT
