KRU smoke kills r insane

Early days yet KRU won their map pick wait at least till the game is over to overreact

yeah but its not a superteam. NRG should be a top 5 team if not top 3 in Americas by the end of the season, but they're a new roster with 2 people who haven't played in T1 yet.

no its not

put bro on judge duty or at least phantom please

They def could've played together better, but zekken also did a insane job at isolating fights and just hit his shots

Needs more time, but I think that NRG has the potential to be at the top level of Americas

yeah i just feel like G2 is a forever top 5 team that dominates everyone else but cant get past the best teams. guess we'll see if jawg changes that for them

he hasn't rly been shooting but the calling has been rlly good so cant be too upset

Yeah maybe I gotta see KRUxNRG before I move KRU but for rn I think I move MIBR up to 6 over LEV and EG down to 9 behind KRU.

leaf has to win an international first, which should happen IF G2 doesn't throw bangkok

I have them there cause of super high potential shown in the offseason. Them and LOUD r very close for me

yeah wont move them till this games over but if nothing changes they probably go behind KRU

Put them there as a trust in their potential over the teams below them lol. Might move them up if they can close this out

Unfortunate times good luck for split one

wait that wasnt nature's flash

ask and you shall receive I guess lol

Bro is carrying EG so hard rn bro needs some help

Anyone who says a tourney is mickey mouse is coping. If you win you win.

Potential more than anything. I think Ethan and FNS drag them down current form but if someone else has them at 5 I wouldn't hate it cause they showed in the offseason that they could be really good

I get it everyone hates SEN its fine not to have them top 5 this is just my opinion. I think SEN, DRX, NRG, and mayyyyybe T1 could all be 5, but don't act like its crazy to have SEN at that level lol

Yeah I have SEN and DRX rlly close at 5-6 rn either one at 5 is fine

1. G2
2. EDG
3. Vit
4. TH
5. SEN

HM: DRX

I think SEN should be better than LEV and will put up more of a fight, but I don't know if I see them beating G2 in Upper Finals. Maybe in the GF or at Bangkok, but seems like G2 is at such a high level rn and SEN are still working towards their peak.

I need the unhinged energy from their streams lolll

Live stream had LOUD playing MIBRxEG winner VLR has them play NRGxKRU?

LOUD x NRG would be so good

I get that for sure, and thats why they're above KRU and C9, but until they take a map off of a team besides Furia, it's hard to put a roster that hasn't shown potential for a high level above any of the teams in the top 7. The closest would be MIBR, so if they can beat them tomorrow I'd likely move them up

As a G2 hater, I would love this to be true, but they've been too good for too long to put them any lower than 1 rn.

UPDATED as of 2/1

1.) G2 (-)
--gap--
2.) SEN (-)
--gap--
3.) LOUD (up 1)
--gap--
4.) 100T (up 1)
5.) MIBR (up 2)
--gap--
6.) LEV (-)
7.) KRU (up 2)
8.) NRG (down 5)
--gap--
9.) EG (down 1)
10.) C9 (-)
--oh my gap--
11.) Furia (-)
12.) Quite possibly the worst team I've watched this kickoff (-)

Lots of teams on a tier of their own now I hate that but can't be helped

Yeah valid take. My point was to be unhelpful and useless :) I'd probably put johnqt up there partially cause I'm biased and partially cause I think that as SEN clean up their teamplay his util level will be better utilized but who knows

I have no idea haven't watched enough matches

Everyone can shoot at smokes, its a part of the game. It can be annoying, but both teams got lucky spam kills that influenced rounds. At the end of the day, both teams looked good, but unpolished, which means both teams have room to get much better

idk this zekken guy is good or smth

It's still early to tell, but I'd say G2, SEN, and then LOUD/NRG is close for third. If LEV and MIBR play to the level they can given their rosters, and 100T doesn't do something dumb, the top 7 of Americas could all be pretty good.

Bro just be happy we got to watch an incredible series. LOUD looked good and have a shot to make a lower bracket run, and SEN being at a high level is good for the scene in general

Yeah i think LOUD were definitely better than I thought they would be, I like what I saw from SEN in terms of potential, but there are definitely things to clean up. In a way makes me feel better cause they have a lot of room to grow.

Peak valorant happening rn

Yeah i think so

There is no world where liquid are on the same tier as FNC surely.

Idk about firepower, but TH would roll on team chem and better roles

Imo whoever wins is the favorite out of the Pacific teams. I feel like its pretty close but who even knows at this point

I hate G2 so much, but they're just so dang good it pisses me off. Respectfully of course

I'm just interested to see how good each of the teams actually are. LOUD has already exceeded my expectations, but seem like a team that's gonna rely on a lot of momentum. I think that SEN should be really good this year, but idk if they are there yet. But heavy agree with ur take that LOUD likely needs to snowball a great start to win this one.

Not in order:
VIT
EDG
G2/SEN (One of them is top 3 maybe even wins the other crashes out early)

they've had one dominant game lol lets take a step back

the level of disrespect on aspas and zekken is insane. Both top 3 no question

MELONS

RANKERS are already qualified no?
