oh okay

woah, that's weird, why wouldn't they just put them 1-8 seeded like an NBA playoff bracket based off their swiss performance?

Alright thanks

Is Stage 1 and 2 playoffs going to be 6 team, 8 team, or 12 team brackets? Does anyone know?

2 loud's and no lev? lmao but the loud in the mid better be lev

W C9, love neT and I hope he performs well, it sucks he got put on such an asscheek organization that won't make it out of lower bracket first round in kickoff but I'm excited to see how he performs in vct this year

The DRG hopium gotta go. APAC looks fine but PRX gonna do better than that. EMEA looks pretty good but KOI > APKS then KOI > NAVI in lowers. Americas looks good but way too much LOUD hopium and NRG gonna do better than that

so is WE really good this year? I don't follow CN but I want to this year

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/f7a0c56d XLG vs WE first round is kinda wild I don't know who winning that

I had no clue they were planning on signing icy and yay, if they do that literally changes everything and they are champions contenders. derrek, supamen, nature, icy, and yay could really make something happen actually

Oh okay, on vlr.gg their roster still incomplete, and G2 not my team lol I don't have a favorite team, I just change my flair to who I think will win the next AMER vct tournament (unless its an international) and god I hope they make it where u can have multiple flairs, anyhow yea that makes sense, didn't know abt the coach thing, I get their experienced but I just didn't have them goin too far

1. Why does everyone suddenly have a ton of hope for EG?
2. EMEA is incredible 10/10 pickem ong
3. Wayyyyyyy too much hope for TLN and NRF

yes its def clove

nah bro I literally had no knowledge of them when I said that, worst part is I watched the RBHG GF start to finish and just wasn't thinking, also have been doing T1 research for the last like 30 minutes, I genuinely expect them in champs this year, and I have them winning kickoff now lmfao because prx is gonna choke gf

lol, I hope yk I just adjust every one of my brackets off your power rankings and it feels correct I'm not lying, you might be a genius

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/17a42ed8 - APAC
https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/2f279247 - EMEA
https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/15476363 - AMER (I stg I'm not coping on SEN I genuinely think they make gf but they gon sell the bag)

Yo hell yea thanks for that, actually looks realistic and I'm gonna use this for my kickoff pickems, however I don't think TH is a title contender personally, I think they're in the internationals category, also M8 needs to move up, they are perfect in the dark horse category and I think EG belongs in ZZZ category but thats just me, anyways thanks

Honestly don't know, like the thing is I pay very little attention to apac and cn and just watch amer and emea so I just didn't think they'd do well because they didn't make champs last year lmfao but now that I know all this, which also I'm just stupid I literally watched RBHG GF and just didn't think about that at all, but they also played C9, and half the players on the RBHG C9 are gone now so, idk tho

Upper Round 1: LOUD > EG
Upper Quarters: G2 > NRG
Upper Semis: SEN > KRU and G2 > LEV if G2 beat NRG
Upper Final: G2 > SEN

2G over EG in lower round 1

Rest looks solid, you go too much hope in KRU, I think they will be pretty mid this year ngl and a little too much hope for NRG, obviously just about everyone had NRG in gf until their offseason but realistically off season doesn't matter too much and they just won SOOP league so seeing NRG in gf isn't way too out there

Can someone please give me a semi-accurate list of power rankings for the 12 vct teams of each region. Like I am apparently lost in the sauce when it comes to power rankings. Like I didn't expect T1 to do anything this year and everyone has T1 doing pretty good, which I wasn't prepared for, and everyone says TH sucks suddenly so I am genuinely confused right now

Is T1 actually looking good this year????

I don't know, I don't see T1 going that far ngl, I don't follow APAC nearly as much as I do AMER and EMEA but I think this looks pretty realistic https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/17a42ed8

Little too much hope for DFM, otherwise doesn't look too bad imo, I don't think NRF will do as good as you think but we'll see

This is unbelievable accurate, almost my exact picks, the pacific one is like genuine brainrot bro t1 ain't winning shit lmfao

Yea this shit is actually confusing they warn him because he bet on LoL and a week ago they announced they are allowing betting sponsors like bro, what does riot want?

bro I think ge is dogshit every year

yea fr Xenom goes hard

Cauanzin is like unlimited aura points bro

aspasless LEV is making champs paris easily, still a very solid roster and I believe they will dominate kickoff, everyone got their eyes on G2, NRG, and SEN but LEV's roster looks incredibly solid and I have them losing gf to G2

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/2ffef4db The only right answer

oh, hell yea I hope they go far but I don't think they will make champs sadly

oh ok so aspas does actually have help? I was worried aspas would literally be the ONLY piece of the team lol

pretty good https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/2f279247 this is what mine looks like which is pretty similar, I think you have a little too much hope for bbl and not enough for koi or m8

I didn't ask about SEN and no I haven't lost anything lol "top 8 have u lost ur shit" dawg, yk how retarded I would've sounded if I said "both teams are AT LEAST top 6 in Americas this year." buddy I would've sounded stupid, also because one of the two aren't going to be top 6 after stage 2

VIT 3-2 TH

The only way for this to happen is if 100T loses to MIBR in Upper Bracket Round 1, and NRG beats Cloud9 then loses to G2. I think this is realistic, and if so we get NRG v 100T in Lower Bracket Round 1. I felt like bringing this up because I think it would be devastating to see NRG or 100T be one of the first 4 teams eliminated in kickoff, I say that cuz I think both teams are AT LEAST top 8 in Americas this year. I know 100T lost to plug, which is kinda embarrassing but NRG lost to lofi so it somewhat evens out, anyway lemme know your thoughts on this if this matchup happens.

You guys should make it where we can have multiple flairs. However, make it limited. That way people can't just use every single flair, you can limit it to like 5-10 or so. I would personally love this because I want to use a flair for each team that I think is going to win Kickoff in their region. Anyway, I think this is a good idea, let me know if this is possible or not.

idk much abt mibr roster other than aspas, so be honest with me are any of the other 4 players good?

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/2f279247

yea I thought they looked amazing but losing to Lofi is kinda crazy

I can't be the only one that thinks all 12 Americas teams look strong, like every roster looks really decent, obviously some teams stand out to others but literally every American roster looks pretty strong this year. Maybe I need to wait for Stage 1 and see how certain teams are doing.

Oh ok thanks for sending the video, it's kind of surprising to me that they just randomly draw teams, I feel like its not even fair, I think the 5-12 teams should get like a 6 game swiss stage or something to determine their seeds.

So I get that the 4 teams that have a bye round are the 4 that qualified for Champions, however how are the other 8 teams seeding determined? Liquipedia says they were put into the same pool but surely Riot Games didn't actually just draw names and slap them on the bracket and call it good, right? If someone knows how they determined 5-12th seed in the bracket let me know because I'm interested.

I mean there is VALORANT_jpn on twitch but I don't know if they broadcast CN or just Pacific

Does anyone know when the Kickoff bracket will be released for EMEA, Pacific, and China because Americas already released and I was just curious.
