They beating KRU or BLG easily

And Pacific 4th seed
Americas sucks this year.

Next to SEN, LEV is the most overrated team in Champions right now.
Struggling against Talon (Pacific #4) and losing against TE (CN#3)
GG Americas

How many views is this? if I translate to english it says over 8million. Surely that's not correct?

Trace sht play rather. Pushing in 1 by 1

GenG and FNC lose against actual solid contenders and everyone calls them washed.
LEV loses against the most random bottom tier team in Champions and watch everyone still call them the top contenders to win this tournament.
Not to mention the fact that they struggled against Talon of all teams

Nah that won't happen... it's a LoL repeat
South Korea #1, China #2, EMEA and Americas #1000

GenG is beating both SEN and FPX, relax bro

I wanna go see mickey mouse but it's so expensive D:

GenG had a bad game and TH were in crazy form. GenG still looking amazing heading into this

GenG been winning eco after eco. They're always incredibly scary to play against

Nah, even without that double kill, it could've easily been won

Agreed

FNC and G2 have a chance. Unfortunately, G2 is too basic and don't have much in their arsenal so I'm not confident

Even in 2023, Meteor was carrying GenG's other player poor performance all year long.
He was an amazing player last year and with the right team, he proved how skillfull he really is

Who?

Cry some more : )

Comparing Smoggy and KangKang to Meteor and t3xture is criminal

I'm talking about the last round, relax

Tbf, GenG played that flawlessly
But TH did play that last round poorly

They objectively were.
MiniBoo is a good player but PaTiTek on TH was peak TH

Best Valorant I've seen in this tournament so far

The most entertaining game in this tournament so far. Both teams showing us an amazing performance

This is what peak gameplay looks like.
t3xture 2024, Demon1 2023, Aspas 2022

TenZ fans sound like Trump fans.
Crazy obsession

I'm excited

If you're an idiot, then yes

Can an org get kicked out of Tier 1 due to lack of performance? or how does it work?
And are any teams currently at risk of that happening.
Just like how TheGaurd left Tier 1

Both their talents are wasted in their current teams.
If M80 make it to Tier 1, would be nice to have them back together

2024 started off incredibly boring. Every single teams were extremely weak
But this mid/late season became incredibly entertaining. Teams are looking in form
2024 obviously doesn't compare to 2023 but I find it way better than 2021 and 2022

No hate against MiniBoo, he's a great player.
But... it's clear that TH Shanghai was TH at their peak. They looked so much cleaner with Wo0t on duelist and PaTiTek in the team
I doubt I'd see them making it to the Grand Finals again.

ANYWAYS! Today will show us a bit more about their current strength. They might surprise us against GenG

The who?
Random dude in your backyard?

No1's watching the EWC
Have you seen the pathetic viewcounts LoL, Apex, R6 and OW has been getting/got?
More than half of what any international tournament would get

Imagine thinking GenG, FNC, LEV, G2, TH are top contenders to win when you've got these incredibly dominant teams like Furia, MiBR, GE.
Let's be real, these 3 teams would probably 3-0 and of these 5 frauds in a Grand Finals.

G2 are indeed incredibly boring to watch but that doesn't change the fact that they're top contenders for the Grand Finals.
Eitherway, I'm excited to see what will come next.
Will it be G2, FNC, GenG?
Will TH make an impressive run like they did during Shanghai. Or will another team pop out of nowhere and surprise us all.
But I would also rather not have them make it to the Grand Finals. They become quite unlikable

Can't wait to see a team go 1st, 1st, 1st
Also... FNC 4th? Damn, thought they did way worse during Champions. Very solid record for sure

As a long time fan of South Korean teams in general, me wanting GenG to win Champions is normal but I mean it in a way where them winning Champions would make VCT history by being the most dominant team ever.

Making it to every single Grand Finals of the year + winning Masters, Stage 2 and Champions would give future teams a new performance record to beat.

After Fnatic's performance in 2023, I didn't expect a team to dominate as much if not more than them anytime soon. Them winning Champions will do just that

Wait till matches start up again and all the 14yo keyboard warriors will spam about 10 posts a day

This is a very good list. The only team I'd remove from that list is LEV
Or if you're adding LEV, you have to add TH
LEV is quite overrated. I mean, they struggled v Pacific #4
And TH are as good as LEV if not better.
My issue with both teams is they lack consistency when it really matters

Sounds like your loss. Most of us are having a blast watching these games : D

I think you got it all wrong? They got peak toxicity during Shanghai...

They are indeed quite unlikable.
Tbf, they were being extremely toxic during Stage 1 and Shanghai which is probably where the hate came from.
This coming from a long time fan of TheGaurd.

Based on what I've seen, these are my obvious/most likely teams to make it to the Grand Finals. Lemme know if you disagree on something, I'd love to here another take.

My top 5 in order from most likely:
GenG
G2
FNC
TH
LEV

Teams not in top 5 that I could see them surprise me and make a decent run:
Talon (Gave LEV a very tough time and have potential. Giving Primmie a bit more time could be just what they need)
FPX (Amazing performance against TH. I'm aware they had unlucky matches during Shanghai and now Champions but it's hard to judge them properly as they've only lost despite strong performances)

Send both teams home, holy sht. That was such sht performance by FUT and EDG struggling so hard against that sht team

Both teams suck. Both teams choking during the most winnable rounds you've ever seen
Go home already, ty

Stop the cap. We all know MiBR is winning Champions

We already know no Chinese teams are making it top 4.
Whereas FNC, TH, GENG, G2 seems like obvious candidates

This has got to be one of the most boring matches this year.

Alecks is like "how is my team so sht"

SEN fans, what can I say
