Yep, I really fucked up there... Flor is a fucking beast!
One of the scariest player in EMEA right now and it's just been a few days.

Don't really care for either team but I find KC's roster more interesting.

Marvel Rivals is the Overwatch killer. The game has nothing to do with Valorant
Both are different and good games
Props to them, Blizzard deserves it.

Good show but extremely overrated
One of those things that don't live up to the hype imo but if you've never watched it, go for it.

AYAYA

EMEA: VIT v TH (VIT win)
Americas: G2 v SEN (G2 win)
Pacific: T1 v GenG (T1 win)
China: EDG v TE (EDG win)

Though tbf, the only team I'm confident will make it to the Grand Finals and win is G2. Their roster looks DAMN good

Mine would be:

1. Fnatic
2. EG
3. Loud
4. Gambit
5. Optic

I still feel like 2023 had teams at peak strength.

Let's calm down. EDG ain't getting close to prime Loud anytime soon

EDG is a wildcard.
They'll do sht in international tournaments and then flip a coin and decide to do well. Time will tell

I honestly agree with these predictions.
Only one I'd change is the scoring for C9 to 2-0 and EG to 2-1

Seeing TH and VIT (what people call EMEA's super team) struggle so hard against KC and M8...
Is M8 and KC really that good or is EMEA THAT weak?

I'd personally consider TH and VIT EMEA's top teams but I feel like they'd get destroyed by teams like TE, EDG, G2, PRX, T1.

Have you seen FUT? They scream after every point win xD

I'm still convinced that CN is weakest after EMEA (CN > EMEA)
I honestly need one last international tourney to convince myself that China is indeed as strong as everyone thinks they are.
Excited to see what'll happen in the coming months

I'm hoping this was just a bad day for them. I'm wondering if Gentlemates really are that good or if TH had a bad day

A few teams previously got close

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
