SEN get grouped - valid
KRU make top 8 - smoking crack
LEV make top 8 - valid
G2 make top 8 - valid

FUT & VIT go 1-2 in groups
Fnatic bomb out 0-2 (group of death)
TH qualifies 2-0
my personal opinion

With how many maps leviathan just played, (supposed to be a 3-1 max) G2 are going to anti-strat the fuck out of them, especially on Bind/Ascent. Even if LEV were trying to save strats, it would be much better to show strats in 3 maps then show your general playstyle of 5 out of 7 maps in the pool, a pretty big mistake by LEV ngl.
G2 should clear 3-1 tommorow at worst based on this.

I didnt account for what the groups might be, i just listed the worst performing teams out of the ones going to seoul, ill probably post a new thread updating the list when the groups get posted

no

ive had a G2 flair since i made my account

drop the whole roster and sign OXG honestly

if 100T qualified then americas wouldve been fine, but now 2/4 teams are 100% getting grouped instead of 1/4 so theres less chance

look at G2 vs PRX Map 2

"G2 no firepower"
the top 3 in the world and best in americas title(s) in question:

Teams that are going to get grouped in Seoul:
1 VIT
2 KRU
3 TE
4 EDG
5 FUT
6 TLN
7 SEN
8 BLG
Trust me, I've read the script early.

G2 won 4 games internationally, what are you on?

They have been this good since the end of S1, its just that people don't pay attention.

L take, he hasn't done shit after 2021

Im aware, most of the people watching VCT Americas didn't though.

L take

If you were paying attention recently, this isn't news to you, but for the 98% of the VCT community that doesn't watch every match,
G2 ARE THE BEST IN THE AMERICAS
We knew they were the best in NA, (See Shanghai placement) but now they are the best in the Americas.

Can they beat GenG though..?

no way you took a look at G2 qualifying for Shanghai, Seoul, top 2 in Stage 1, best in NA, top 3 in the world, and said "hopefully, they dont deserve it"

still the second best in the Omega group lol

bro has NOT watched a G2 game recently
not to mention that the only competition in LEV's group was 100T, G2's record is much more impressive than LEV's

cope

if they dont make top 8 in champs then yeah

EVERY SINGLE EVENT IN 2024, G2 HAS BEEN "THE UNDERDOGS." THEY AREN'T THE UNDERDOGS ANYMORE. THEY NEVER HAVE BEEN.
PUT THEM AT THE TOP OF THE POWER RANKS BABY.

It's really funny seeing the entire community put G2 as the underdogs in every match-up even though they are literally the best team in NA statistically.

why tf is LEV, 100T, and PRX above G2?
why is FUT not above G2?
why is FNC above TH?
why is VIT in 9th?
why is FPX in 13th?
why is DRX in 12th?
this is the worst power ranking ive seen since VCT Masters 3 2021

2024 live crowds and sen fans (most of them anyways) suck.
I'm familiar with the GENG vs China drama, im not clueless.

having a biased crowd is the complete opposite of cool if you are rooting for neither team (which is normally the case in global events). It's only cool if you are rooting for the team that the crowd is rooting against and said team is beating the other teams ass.

1. your point consists of one event that isnt even the main focus of my post
2. there are multiple instances in madrid when the sen crowd gave away a play from the enemy
3. THE SPANISH CROWD. not the SEN fans huh?
4. my shanghai point still stands
5. i've already done #2

the SEN/FNATIC fans that aren't toxic are good. most of them aren't tho, thats the main reason why i made this post

nobody who values their sanity looks at vct twitch chat anymore ngl

yes

Live crowds this year have been absolute dogshit at international events.
Masters Madrid, Sentinels fans flooded the venue and ruined every good play made by teams against them.
Masters Shanghai, the crowd literally rooted against GENG the whole tournament and for Chinese teams for their entire duration in the bracket. (5 days.) Everyone else got pattycake cheers.
Now, in comes Champions Seoul, the biggest event of the year, will the problem be fixed?
Probably NOT.
Why?
Because so far, Sentinels look likely to qualify despite them being mid as fuck after Kickoff. Not to mention Fnatic also prone to qualifying. (The stupidity of the championship points system can be its own thread)
Both of these teams are by far the worst offenders for having the most toxic fanbase. You can argue that other teams have this problem; (For example, 100T.) however, said fanbases come nowhere near the level of toxicity they show towards their own team. These "fans" are literally just bipolar wrecks that find the smallest "mistakes" to point out (Which, most of the time, aren't actually mistakes.) when their team loses, and whenever their team wins they just glaze the fuck out of whoever had the most flashy play that round from their team.
Not only does this lead to many sick plays having crowd reactions like: "...", it also makes the online live chat utterly unusable due to how many visceral nincompoops spam the chat with unrelated garbage, or just flat out dumb shit. There are only so many times you can see "when does SEN play" and "[Insert player here] is so bad" before you wish that the chat mods would pull a 2022 VCT NA Challengers and just make the live chat emote only. Just look at yesterday's match, SEN vs 100T, and tell me the crowd wasn't dogshit.
TL:DR, The crowds & live chat for the whole 2024 VCT are absolutely botched due to toxic cringe SEN and Fnatic "fans"

I would've put LOUD in here but they haven't made jack shit soooo

no lol

SEN sucks idk what ur talking about, FNC is fine tho

100T 2-0 lmao

100T 2-1 SEN
Sen fans in shambles, cope seethe and mald losers.

He definitley would. Look at the 2-0 and tell me im wrong.

If you though sentinels were going to win after the map veto & curry not playing for sacy then you are a delusional sentinels glazer

G2 said it best... FUCK SENTINELS

if sentinels go through with curry they lose 2-1
if sacy comes back they lose 2-0
pick your poison sen fans...

my guy, 100T and G2 look really good right now, idk what you're on rn

"NA teams other than SEN need to rebuild..."
G2 and 100T:

sen is mid idk why you're saying they're good

no way they lost 13-6 to the same team on the same map AGAIN
OXY consistently made bad plays every other round
runi and moose cant carry guys lock in

VIT making honey inside of KC rn

everyone is fine except for magnum, i knew KC wasn't going anywhere when i saw that magnum was on the roster as an igl ngl

its this or G2 win in the upper final, LEV win in lower final, and G2 win in grand final

the problem here is that LEV will lose twice so SEN WON'T qualify...

Completley factual

THIS is THE dumbest take ive seen. TIME PASSES SONNY. That trophy was 4 and a half months ago, they have CLEALY fallen off and the G2 2-0 SEN result shows that clearly

Do you still think that the best team in the americas is bad or nah? G2 2-0 SEN
