It’s best player of the year not best player at champs. When you mention “year” then it’s not just champs anymore. Texture and Meteor both deserve to be 1 and 2 on the list both can be ranked interchangeably. They were at the forefront of GenG at Madrid and Shanghai and yeah sure they got Sentinel’ed at champs but even then they played great meanwhile chicho 😭 is above meteor if it was KK it was somewhat understandable but chicho 😂 over meteor is hilarious to me. Well anyways it doesn’t matter at the end , all of them are great players just some better than other.

Holy yap , Texture and meteor got robbed ain no way chicho higher than meteor. KK is like 3rd at best after texture and meteor.

G2 Esports

Holy I thought he was never getting dropped

??? Are we on the same site lol , legit everyone clowning on NRG waay more than EDG .

NRG was decent they just need to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, eco management, pistol aim, op flicks, grenade spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, spray, and getting kills.

Doesn’t seems any more unreasonable than what you are tryna say. Sleep wrong? What are you his psychiatrist.

Yeah 💀 cope is wild. “Maybe his pillow was more warmer today” 🤓☝🏼

Look at his flag 💀

Talon kept their lineup from last year and this time they are going with primmie as full time duelist so it’s not that bit of a stretch and KRU is just KRU yk they are gonna be worse in the first 2 int then somehow manage to make champs just to get grouped

W

Marved aint trying unless rollies are on line

Liquid is not even qualifying for a regional playoffs 😭

These were the same predictions last year with NRG super roster

Contenders
Vitality (if their synergy is good and sayf become a good igl)

G2 (G2 with jawgemo is honestly scary)

NRG (Its very receny bias but I like where they are going still tho I wanna see them in more tourneys to solidify this)

Frauds

T1 (T1 didn’t looked the best or at least at the lvl they should be in the tournaments they participated in)

PRX I mean they are keeping the old lineup which frankly did not fare the best in 2024

Vitality (yeah ik they can be the most fraudulent team or the most strongest team in 2025)

5 zekken
5 forsaken
5 chronicle
5 kingg
5 woot
5 alfajer
5 tenz
5 meteor
5 jawgemo

You mean Sen the savior for bang’s career.

1: G2 (They kept their 4 and added jawgemo which is a huge upgrade for icy)
2: Sen , they have their core of 3 and solid new signs if rumors are true.
3: I would put 100T here coz they looked good in 2024 and now with enough time I believe they will cook up something good.
4: NRG , FNS last dance , best t2 duelist , best t2 initiator arguably and ethan and s0m . What else can be said.
5: Cloud9: C9 are weird , they are gonna start crazy hot then choke all the playoffs in existence.
6:EG , ong they are cooked but I wouldn’t be suprised if they make the first international via some crazy cooking if potter stays.

Honorable Mentions: LEV 💀 they are practically a NA team if demon1 signing rumors are true.

You are right BigTiddyMilf

Sad life , go to park , get some sunlight, hangout with friends and family. This is not a healthy lifestyle.

It’s waste of talent either way. Having either zekken or jawg off duelist

No

Not really , shift in meta and change of style plus this year was the year of rookies so less familiar faces on top. Just a sense of unfamiliarity give that vibe.

If only Lev performed in both Masters earlier, they would have been called the best this year

That goes both ways , they will have the footage of abyss from others but no one knows how their abyss looks like.

Idek what they defending them for , winning against DRX who beat FNATIC? Winning against GenG the tournament favorites?

Sen has a higher chance on lotus and probably bind if they play well.

Sen have 3 good comps on lotus

He is talking about this
