EMEA: Fnatic, NaVI, LIquid (maybe KOI if emea wins) Easiest picks
APAC: DRX, PRX, T1 also easy but maybe another team will replace T1 like zeta or GE or talon
AMERICAS: its the fact that i could easily see any of these teams make it 100T, C9, NRG, SEN, EG, LEV, LOUD, MIBR but only 3 of em get to go maybe 4 if they win
Amercias is a lot more competitive and i don't think anyone can argue otherwise at least right now

bruh yall are dumb af this ain't them ass kissing china it just objectively makes sense for them to get their own league
some of you guys need to learn just how big the world is outside your room

yeah its funny

theyre not actually datign LOL he just likes to shoot his shot

Agreed these are the bottom of the teams in this league
but they got some nutty players i could easily see adder, wedid, dicey, seven from tsm and will from lions in better teams and actually go farther

hope it works out for him tho

Didnt this man learn anything about moving to a new region for competitive valo

still typed less than your mom did begging me to come back

buddy doesnt know anything about valorant LOL
there's a lot you can tell about a team from watching them play (just look at how they react whenever utility/ult/pushes happen, the positions they take and the usage of their utility can say a lot about a team)
the guard are just fundamentally better than the other teams and the thing is they're not even using all of their strats in their matches
there's a lot of setups they're hiding and they're still dominating that's just how much better the team is.. and it make sense cuz they were a good team last year and theyve only improved from then plus they scrim against all the franchised teams ofc they'd be good compared to the t2 teams

btw SR don't look that strong to me anymore their match last time was really disappointing so i lost hope
i would say Guard then itll be m80/g2 then dsg/faze then everyone else

p.s. DSG > TSM and ORE > TSM come back to this after their match

you mean the guy who runs in first so he can igl after he's dead

when the game this easy they dont need him to igl so he's just running and winning

LOL

5k minimum forthis team makes sense given the salaries of other teams LOL
you'd straight up faint if you found out what tsm and mad lions were getting paid
idk the other teams but im sure all the signed teams are getting paid around 5k as well

(no team is worse LOL its legit Guard at the top and then everyone else is competitive with each other and then turtle troops who are an unsigned team)

OXG played well but disappointed in SR expected more out of em considering how much longer they've been a team

LEV gonna go wilD
out of franchise watch out for fusion they're going to be making some waves

none of it shows arrogance, most of their content is just fun bits and banters

I genuinely think there's a high chance that the Guard will dominate the NA Challengers (Split 1 & Split 2)
However, when the Ascension playoffs arrive, they'll lose to another NA team(M80 or G2 or SR or DSG(copium)) in the Grand Finals, which will determine whether they will make it to the franchised league.
leaving this here so I can come back to it at the end of the year

why cant you look at the context??
they're expecting c9 to lose against prx or if they win then lose against drx so when you're in a situation like that ofc yay ain't gonna be a top 20 player
plus he ain't playing chamber soo gl to him

mans braindead if you think you can do better why don't you apply

naw this is for the VLR user named G2ShaZam

its the fact that faze had probably a week AT MAX of prac and they're destorying this G2 time that's been announced for like at least a month KEKW

LMAOO i was gonna do the same thing

how they gonna comm? pretty sure all the lobbies will be English dominated and idk how many players can speak it
they might just nocomm and run it down still fun tho

except for doug theyve all hit immortal
and balla is consistently in immortal

is it even worth it for your team to win lockIN? cuz if you make it far in the tourney they'll be more vod of your team and the other teams in your league can just study you guys
plus if you lose the first round in, you legit have so much more time to practise compared to the other teams in your league that go far
if you lost in the first round only 3 of your maps get exposed compared to teams that make it far and have to expose their entire map pool
pricepool is kinda average so it really wouldn't make a difference to these big orgs
winning the tourney benefits your league cuz they'll be an extra spot in masters but its not like you're guaranteed one of those spots in masters if you win

LOVE YOU GUYS ! keep up the good work

Wish we could do pickems for the NA challengers group stage matches

Man thinks Mibr has even a chance of winning their first match in lockin

theres no point switching from valo to cs LOL that's a death sentence for their career
ud only switch if you like csgo over val otherwise there really isn't a reason to do so or if a T1 team in csgo wants you but i feel like if that were the case ud be doing way better on a T1 valo team

Compare group A with group B
group B got guard and m80 arguably the best 2 ascension teams
and DSG got steel and toast
TSM destroyed SENS a Franchised team AND they picked up ENGH
need i say more?

more than they deserve lol (fpx do win that first game tho)
like honestly lets be reasonable for once instead of just picking ur bias
the only good apac teams that can compete at THE HIGHEST level of this game are DRX and paperrex
the other teams are good ofc but when you're comparing them to the top dogs they don't have a good chance

1. his best performance was AT lans (before lans he was nonexistent had absolute no presence)
2. he's playing against tier 2 now so yeah he's gonna be crushing
3. hes also improving so ofc hes gonna be better than before

oh yeah SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE !!

this guy knows c9 losing on their first map

?hows it sad bro if a bunch of pro basketball players from different teams played in a team against semi pros that have been a team for years, they'll lose to the pros that formed a random team same thing tbh

ud be surprised by how many were expecting otherwise and is now staying slient cuz their team is being exposed

people wondering why PLatchat didnt mention this team cuz everyone knows UB ain't making it far LOL
i at least expected em to win this series but looks like its over already

LMAO mans cant win against t3 teams

whereas the mena teams will end up getting 13 0 LOL

I think everyone other than you is happy with this decision to have the Chinese teams play in this tourney
even if it was the old model the teams would've still been fine with having 2 added teams it makes the most sense
what other 2 teams could you even add LOL don't name some tier 2/3 team that'll lose in ascension

LOL all the Sen fans are upset cuz they know they gonna lose to fnatic

This dude saw that jonas saw the VLR tread hating on him and now wants to make a hate tread on ludwig tryna get attention
wannabeseizVLR
sorry your parents didn't give you the attention you wanted as a kid

i think ur just someone with zero social awareness who likes to hate for attention hope u can turn ur life around

i feel sorry for you that youve never had friends in your life

this team wouldve been the laughing stock of the franchise

Clear

LMAOOOO mans basing this off of teams with zero practice
your world is about to rock when you see NA dominate in Berlin
typing this here so i can come back to it and make fun of you guys
EU is the only other region that'll have as many teams as NA does in the latter half of Berlin

??? how are tsm crypto throwers mans actually braindead and cant survive without his tenz

theyre literally playing in the LCQ
theyre going to dominate your stupid tameable beasts

bro thankgawd zombs dropped out of the nations roster no wonder they were losing so many rounds in their scrims
this team is a LOT better without zombs
