They're sht. They've had their luck
This year has actual solid teams, not the inconsistent trash we had in 2024 (SEN, GENG, LEV, TH, G2, FNC). "Top teams"
We'll have fun seeing them get destroyed by teams like DFM and PRX in the future. It'll be a blast :)

EDG is playing like sht.
PRX showing a bit of form but not much improvement

They're sht, that's why

Average anime fanfic maker. It's a cute story

Basically. Everyone that year was playing at an extremely low skill cap
At least coming from a weak 2024 into what's looking like a strong 2025

Yeah they're sht. They basically won the shittiest tournament in VCT history.
Still a win I guess
What matters is the future where they won't win sht

You're right. Massive fluke
Weakest tournament in VCT history
2025 will be a banger coming from such a weak year

Because they're sht. Always were
Look back and study how they won that tournament.
Teams were weak and inconsistent. Skill cap was at an all time low

Best player of GC, sure. Worst player of Tier 2
Agreed

Champs my ass. No more of those shitty teams this year.
Won't get a free run towards the grand finals against the biggest chokers
Instant trip home for CN incoming

Without a doubt... Champs 2024 was the worst tournament for VCT
Skill cap was incredibly low. Every tram was performing incredibly inconsistent.
Will indeed go down as the worst year for VCT so far

They're screwed. That's your "world champions" btw
No wonder 2024's skill cap was low af

My guy says "dubai servers" and complains about high ping.
The answer is in your post

Crying cuz facts. Classic :)

They're both sht. It's irrelevant

Let's be real, this tournaments skill tier is levels above champions

We know. They had their luck. It's over
We'll wait another 4 years for a win from China

EDG peaked in 2023
They won 2024 cause all teams were so mid and sht. TH, GenG, G2, Fnatic, LEV... Bunch of chokers with no consistency

Yet higher skill tier than 2024 champions lmao

Exactly my point. Thanks for agreeing
2024 was weak as sht
2023's 8th best team would win 2024 Champs

They're just sht... I mean look at the teams they went through to win champions lmao
Low of the low tournament

People still able to convince themselves that Champions 2024 wasn't the weakest tournament in VCT history when you've got your world champions getting destroyed by teams like DFM and PRX.
It's hilarious

I would qualify them as tier 3 personally

I really don't like this tier list.
It's hard to pick between T1, GenG and DRX at this moment.
We don't know what SPG will look like.
PRX didn't look too bad and had a close game against GenG.
DFM has been doing well but I'd like to see them play against a stronger opponent.
As for the other APAC teams, not much known about them yet.

I never thought I'd live the day to see T1 win anything, even an off season event.
Looking decent so far

He's baiting. Don't worry

No matter what you think, valorant's future is looking very pacific. Or more specifically, very korean dominated

Can you please win one pistol round. That's 5 in a row now

I wish I could have a flair for every team I support

Scampi

Fact

EMEA and Americas are fucked. Pacific and China on the rise

+2 korean players
and Meiy ofc

Dumbest take

2025 VCT looking promising. Especially after finishing the weakest year in VCT history

Hoe's mad : )

It's not about EMEA. It's about 2024 being being extremely weak

Now that's the dumbest sht I've ever heard when you've got 2023 Fnatic and 2023 EG both probably peak valorant

EDG is sht... no wonder 2024 is deemed as the weakest year of VCT

We already know C9 is winning 3-0. It's the off season
The script mandates a C9 stomp in the off season and for C9 to get stomped during the season

I'm surprised at their performance... finally performing decently!
Setting myself a few expectations for them

Clearly not good enough. They struggle to make it to top 8 in international tournaments

It really hasn't. The only korean team that was okay in 2022 was DRX. In 2023, Korea was sht. Before that, nothing
2024, korean talent starts climbing.

I mean cmon... at this point, it gets quite obvious that within a year or two, Valorant will be dominated by south korea.
No other country's talent has shot up as much as south korea

Ok yea, I remember Leviathan!

This guy is quite impressive!
I'm surprised by DRX considering that I've never heard of HYUNMIN or Athan prior to this.

Why did they change roster on map 2?
Why is Primmie playing with them

I'm ok with either korean team winning.Z
But damn, I want DFM to succeed so badly. Meiy is such an amazing player and with their new roster with that korean talent, they def have potential

Is a way better team than last year, that's for sure.
But they ain't winning any tournaments or even have a chance of touching that top 4 area in Pacific

Oh you'd be surprised!
