Based!
Lock-in grand finals was top tier!
This event had 5 CRAZY good teams. At no point during this event was I certain who'd end up winning (between these 5 teams) or even making it to the finals.
Unlike many other events where it's often obvious.
My tierlist before the event:
Actual tierlist after the event:
Nah.
Let's be real here... G2, DRX, VIT, T1 and EDG all look incredibly even.
Meta change, one player in top form. Any small thing could get one of these teams to take that W
Let them cry. Riddled with children
It was a banger match. Both teams looked amazing
Tbf, the power gap between #1 and #2 is incredibly big for all regions except for Pacific
This capitalisation on each word is the kinda sht I did when I was 14... Please stop
I felt that pain watching the highlight replays.
I was like "nope, that's gg". Good thing I kept on watching haha
If I dare say, the was the most competitive tournament of Valorant I've yet to see
G2 not winning, which is an absolute W
T1 winning, which is an absolute W
But most importantly, an absolute BANGER of a grand finals! Pure cinema.
Can't pick one team. I always go for multiple teams and when they play against each other, I don't bother to watch cause I don't want either team to win/lose against one another.
VIT, FNC, NAVI, T1, DRX, NS, GENG
Think they'll manage to beat the big 4?
DRX, EDG and VIT defeated.
Due to map pool choice by G2, it'll honestly be a tough battle.
Still, they've got the Faker of Valorant on their team (Meteor) so it is doable!
Which idiot said that?
Wait, we're on vlr.gg, my bad
People are probably sick of the EDG dck riders
Both T1 and VIT losing made me sad.
Now I've got hope
T1: Try to win a duel
EDG: Try to win an eco round
T1 and VIT both playing today...
T1 I expect to lose hard but VIT... Please don't send both my teams to the lower bracket.
I assume you skipped 2024.
How can you get bored at masters Bangkok when we had to sit through an entire year of sht gameplay and inconsistency (apart from GenG)
None. Once EDG falls, it's over
Future of Valorant is looking Korean. Korea's is looking very even in skill (4 entire teams). A top Pacific level of skill.
Now give another year or 2 and you'll get 1-2 super teams who'll likely make it top4 at internationals everytime and likely win.
Someone got mad. I mean hey, you asked for it and I answered.
Don't ask for it if you know you'll end up whining : )
In all seriousness, VIT has the be the team with the most aura this year.
I mean hey, I'd be happy if they do! Rooting for em over EDG and G2, that's for sure
T1 beating DRX first minor upset in Bangkok right?
I mean we saw them loose 3-2 against DRX in Pacific Grand Finals so I assume they're also pretty good. Definitely best of the #2 teams.
Though thoughts on them winning against EDG, G2 or VIT?
My odds are:
T1 v G2 - 30/70
T1 v EDG - 20/80
T1 v VIT - 20/80
I watch CSGO, LoL and Valorant. Used to go for overwatch back when it was still a good game with a proper e-sport.
China has always been a one team region. Obviously their #1 is crazy good as we all know.
Convinced that NS and GenG would also destroy CN #2 though.
Meanwhile, with the current Korean talent in tier 1 as well as all currently showing up in tier 2.
If anyone deserves it's own region, it'd be Korea's. Hopefully for such a change in the future ngl
Take still applies.
I'd be surprised if TL beat G2 but... Definitely doable.
nAts wakes up and takes them 1v5 clutches
True but that right now, I feel like DRX are way better. Would be quite an upset after the challenge they had given VIT
If there's any #2 place that had the best chance to beat a #1 team, it'd would've been T1 v G2
These top 4 teams (top1 from each region) are all so good!
I feel like anyone of them could beat the other at any given time!
VIT and EDG beat DRX and G2 this time.
Say G2 and DRX were to make it to playoffs, in no way would I give any of these teams odds better than 60-40 of winning against another (as of now)
Looking like a real competitive year and I'm all for it after a weak year!
Are VIT and EDG qualifed to Play Offs?
Winner of today's matches will go against G2 and DRX. Winner of those matches also quality to Play Offs?
Am I missing something?
(Riot, don't you dare put Korea v Korea or NA v NA if either KR or NA win today istg)
The match was a banger... But I agree that the amount of thrown rounds in this G2 v EDG match is insane.
Nonetheless, this also shows skill and the capability to come back from a disadvantageous round for both teams.
Whoever wins this first map ends up stomping on map 2. 13-6
Curious as to who'll be the best second seed team.
My money would be on T1 ngl
Unless G2 or EDG get stomped on map 2 and make it a 2-0 stomp, the top teams from each region seem to have such a small skill margin diff. Even more so this year than any other year so far?
Demon1 and Karon come to mind.
Only difference is Demon1 went from hero to zero within a year. Karon still performs very well.
But peak Demon1 is better than peak Karon
After 2024, just about anything can look competitive and fun. That year was so incredibly weak. The only consistent team was GenG and even then...
But 2025 does look like a great contender to make it even more entertaining and competitive than 2023 by looking at these teams!
Because they'rethe weakest among the present teams
DRX v EDG
VIT v G2
Though as long as they're not pitting my two teams against each other (DRX n VIT)
