Which of the remaining teams to qualify do you think would perform the best at an international event (3rd team).
Obvious picks are T1, DRX and BOOM for me.

My issues with all 3:
T1 played crazy good during kickoff but they seem quite weak currently. Even weaker than BOOM and DRX
DRX is lacking that consistency... I expected a easy 2-0 against RRQ and they take the L. Let's be real, RRQ ain't making it top 4 at Toronto.
BOOM. They seem like great candidates but... Is GenG that good now or are they doing what people expected them to do and choke at playoffs? (Which would mean they'd struggle and take the L at international).

Having them qualify is such a pain for Pacific. Pretty much a wasted slot considering that we know they'll struggle to perform at international

GenG 30% v Boom 70%
DRX 80% v RRQ 20%
My odds of the teams winning today

I would love that outcome but I'm giving 80-20 in favor of BOOM. Ofc, still yet to see BOOM perform in play offs so I guess we shall see soon. Banger match for sure though!

DRX and BOOM win imo

APAC is honestly that string this year. So much potential top tier talent.
T1, DRX, BOOM, RRQ, GenG

Right... It's insane
Korea just be chilling

Was shocked by the amount of hate GenG was getting when they lost map 1... Keyboard warrior much?
They're literally the most chill team out there, always having fun, noatter what.

BBL lmao

2024 was a weak year

Be grateful. It's korea who won both trophies that Pacific have
Believing that a team like BOOM, Talon or RRQ have the conistency to win an international i crazy

Ah, so it's your fault
Get him boys!

Over... aren't we a few minutes from reaching 25+ already?

NO FUCKING WAY!!!

Sht org ngl

Who's ready for tech pauses!!!!! OMG I'm so excited!

My brain had a seizure. Nothing happens tomorrow

EDG all depends on their first match. I'd give em 50/50 against BLG
T1 has been playing like sht. Hopefully they were testing stuff out and not playing seriously (which I doubt). Their first match against Talon will tell it all.

VIT ain't anything crazy but they are top EMEA unfortunately. Even with their loss against FNC

FUT is still xeus 1v5
My guy singlehandedly winning maps

VCT EMEA breaks a world record.
Most tech pauses in a year in the esports scene
Source: Trust me bro

Holy, that was clean. Really stood out

G2's current team is incredibly unlikable... but even I can't deny that they are without a doubt top3 this year.
Strong shooters, good teamwork, good gamesense. But very boring to watch and unlikable
I'd be surprised if they don't win at least one international this year

This is some Tier 4 level gameplay... wtf am I watching

BOOM is legit.
RRQ are gonna choke

BOOM has a chance to do well at international
RRQ does not have the consistency

This is even more boring that tier 3 valorant

My god, always drama with irrelevant and useless players.

You can't call FNC v LOUD a fluke when they ended up winning 2 international tournaments in a row. If I'm not wrong, they're the only team to have ever done that. If anything, least fluke win

All aim and no strats. I don't think I've seen a team with such bad execution before.
And even when it comes to aim, it's been quite shakey recently

This is such a good top 5... I'm a bit doubtful about Less, but the other 4 are currently top tier for sure

This guy's favorite weapon is Odin... never seen someone buy this gun as much as him in the pro scene.

DFM

Replace Dambi with TenTen
It's a real good idea!

TenTen is here

They were never bad ngl
During kickoff, their performance was still amazing. They just needed that extra push from losing games closely to winning and hence going 4-0 in Stage 1.
I'm quite impressed. Now the question is: Can they perform at an intenational the way they do here (if they qualify, which is looking likely unless choke and incosistent when it matters)

We got ourselves a top tier analyst here. Based claims!

Feels like she doesn't fit well in the current meta, yet T1 plays them on Icebox.

Is it just me or are they struggling more now than they did in Bangkok?

For sure

This is so hilariously sht

Based ranking

I hope not

Nah, they ain't winning sht playing like this.
I sure hope at least DRX is not being serious

Holy fuck they are bad.
This team is absolutely cursed to never win anything

It's looking likely.
Best case for M8 is if one of the other current 2-1 teams end up with a 2-3. M8 also ends up with a 2-3
And that other team ends up winning very little points.
But I doubt that'll happen

I am rooting for DRX but... I wouldn't be too confident about that.
DRX are obviously very good but BOOM has been giving us one hell of a performance

It'll be a very close match no doubt.

Bring Leo back!

Main reason why they keep losing, you're right.

This is a lower bracket finals match.
DRX, BOOM and T1 to Toronto
