Toronto: 1st T1 2nd SEN 3rd C9
Paris: 1st LEV 2nd SEN 3rd EDG
These predictions are half coping, quarter predictions and a quarter upset teams.

They will all be mid 20s to 30s. For esports that’s ancient and I think max 2 are playing then.

Other than people who know what they are talking about. Sure he sucked vs TH but before then he had been like the 3rd highest rated initiator at champs behind RieNs and Chron

If chamber was back right now, all of the top chamber players would still be and people like TenZ, Meteor and Leaf would also dominate. It has nothing to do with his team, against teams last champs on chamber he was also mid with the same team -s1mon so it’s not much of a difference. Stop overrating him.

Naw he really isn’t that’s why teams don’t use him. Teams know how to like SEN, G2, 100T, PRX, GenG. There is a reason people don’t use him

1.06 rating BTW for chamber against international btw.

#1: t3xture
#2: aspas
#3 zekken
#4: KK
#5: Shanghai WoOt
Edit had meteor thinking it was players

VYSE is just deadlock with a flash instead of a trip. VYSE won’t be good

S0M

2 people who play duelist, 2 who play initiator, a smokes player and FNS. This is worse than 2024

We don’t have KK lower cause he’s bad, we have aspas higher because he played at the highest level the whole year.

2022>2023>2024>2021

t3xture, aspas, Meteor, zekken, TenZ all clear because of consistancy. He had the best GF of anyone but that doesn't mean he is the best player of the year.

yea, EDG set him up quite well, other team probably should've stolen strats from them

Not as much as you all think, he was mostly positive but barely and just a decent player then after neon buffs he became one of the best players in the world

More important and still 2x less impressive. Shanghai GenG would Smoke EDG, that doesn't mean EDG is bad but they simply are not the best team of the year and didn't have the highest peak

AMER prob won't ever play at their full peak. We cant rely on having insane Duelist's anymore to carry us. AMER needs better supports like what APAC and EMEA have and China has everything just at a lower level (-EDG)

It's the biggest and most advertised but not the most challenging. Shanghai was more impressive and had a much better meta -breeze

did you see anything before stage 2?

Best of 2024 (Trying to do without bias but there def is)
initiator: RieNs
controller: Valyn
duelist: t3xture
flex: TenZ
sentinel: Meteor

best team of 2024: GEN
biggest fraud: Bleed
best event: Shanghai
best team to watch: LEV

She's not bad in ranked, Pro seems like hell though with good util and comms with a neon who knows what they are doing. I mean KK and EDG used and prove this point fully.

t3xture, aspas, zekken, Meteor, TenZ, Smoggy, RieNs, Karon, N4RRRATE, KK in this order. HM are Cryo, johnqt, d4v41, leaf

Karon and it ain't close

It isn't the best team in the world for the year, GenG is the best for the year and if you say otherwise you are delusinal

Blue Gaia's, Blue Prelude, Red and Blue Prime, Red Kuronami

Why is this the first correct list, at least top 5 of each role. I don't fully agree with rankings within this but these are the top 5 of each role.

People don’t watch the games and think he baits because they just watch highlights. Aspas plays like an anchor and if his team all does on site he gets blamed for it and then people on VLR say he’s the biggest baiter ever.

In like a week I’ll decide to change my flair for the first time to TSM or M80. Wanna see Zander and sym play well.

It’s clearly the 7 year old iron 2 who just found out he has ADHD

see aspas doesnt play for stats he's just better than everyone else, he plays duelist as an ancor on defense so if his team dies on site it seems like he's baiting when it's apart of their game plan. People like you need to watch the games insted of just assuming

In this order aspas, t3xture, reins, zekken, KK, Meteor, TenZ, leaf, Smoggy, Mako/Flashback

He was the 3rd highest rated on his team for this tournament it’s not that he is so consistent because of top players he may be the least.

They would not have won. They would have gotten 4th or worse. You will notice LEVs downfall was aspas OPing on attack and that’s all KK does.

I agree with the hype part but I had been seeing clips of people using it and I got it in my night market so not even in the bundle so it’s slightly better but still sucks. With those other skins a lot of people have the same opinion

Something knows every duelist as well as breach. PRX originally got something as a jinggg replacement and then after the T1 game they decided he was worth keeping around. If jingg can expand his pool something’s will as well.

Still has the highest rating of 2024.

Pls have him go to GenG or T1 I want to see him do well on a Korea team.

Honestly fair enough. I regret buying ion vandal so fucking much.

I’m so tired of all of you saying Aspas is a baiter but their only reasoning is “he ops on attack” or “gets exit frags” but clearly none of you ever watch the games if you still think this.

The difference is consistency. Aspas is the goat because he is the most consistent player in the world and can drop 30 any map of any game. KK has a similar skill set but has very high highs and some of the lowest lows. In other words Aspas is so much more consistent that even at his lows it is better than KK average.

2023 EG was 100% a top 3 team ever. This is at their peak compared to everyone else in the same tournament as them not compared to other teams. 2023 EG, 2022 Loud and 2022 OpTic are top 3 then it’s debatable for every spot after but those 3 teams should always be at the top of lists until there is another team that’s better.

I disagree with this. If OpTic were in franchising they probably would have had the same or very close to same roster and would grow like other teams. They could be a top 3 team if they had been franchised.

SEN, LEV, TH, FNC, DRX, EDG

It’ll be alright. We won’t need the vid when we will see him region FPX next year and see all that.

If they say it’s a fluke they are wrong.

I was saying at the start of the year Champs GF was gonna be SEN vs LEV. I was so mad when EDG beat LEV I started to cheer for TH to beat them. GG EDG first champs for China we will see how you do now on.

IDK about goat duelist because aspas is still around, but +39 in a grad final is crazy. If you want proof of aspas being the goat btw https://www.vlr.gg/stats/?event_group_id=61&event_id=all&region=all&min_rounds=0&min_rating=0&agent=all&map_id=all&timespan=all

Aspas is self sufficient and can do anything at the highest level. KK can do the same but 1 step down and he reply’s on the OP much more. They are different players that are both great.
