gang wolves are going 0-3 in kickoff
FPX
GenG
G2
yes them and mibr this year are both in this boat they are better built than most of the super teams we have seen but they dont have so much firepower that they are unstoppable
obone has been novas long term sub hes not very good at his best hes a system player at worst hes not tier 1 but kodeth they found from ranked and was going to be on the team he was even at fuzhou but was still waiting his work visa but now is benched so idk what happened
why is obone starting instead of kodeth??? are we sabotaging on purpose?
hermes is more flexible but at a slight firepower loss its not a huge deal
honestly its not a downgrade its just a weird change it only makes sense if flashback benched himself again
what is it now that coconut is on the team?
i mean doing tier lists for a whole year when most of these rosters will look different come champs doesn't really make much sense
that doesn't really mean anything then its just who got picked up by the best team everyone knows fnatic was the most consistent team last year. i feel like being the best rookie to be brought up to t1 is a much more interesting discussion.
i would have them bottom 2 pacific if not for mini but honestly i could see mini pulling something off with them consistency has always been zetas issue maybe mini will bring that
all we know is something went on behind the scenes right like jonahps girlfriend was popping off on twitter, mada said theres more to the story, and jonah said he would share later on. but yes the vision for the move is to bring more energy in tough moments. they even dropped babybay during the offseason and resigned him late asf so this was not planned.
they overrated c9 at least for kickoff massively
not disagreeing with that either but its hard to tell
we have no idea what g2 situation is bro.
icy is like a worse miniboo imo hes a space maker i mean we got top 3 with him hes not that bad hes just not a star player like jawg
loud was good in 23 but yeah since 2024 id agree
that was fucked but tbh qck got abused by saadhak phoenix love
cmon bro you can at least see the vision -s1mon +jieni was way worse
if i like what i see i become a supporter but g2 will always be my first love
i was just thinking about -keznit +dante and thought just how much crack kru is smoking but what would you guys consider the biggest downgrade?
harbor + no util scan player id be impressed if they get a win
the players in latam t2 are good all of them who are in tier 1 right now have a ton of potential but onur is legit a nothing burger coach he got a job off of doing nothing in latam
saadhak is about to nuke kru bro it was good he escaped that when he did
leviatan will 100% be better to start but if pancada can grow into a competent igl its very similar
sato vs virtyy is very close last year virtyy solo carried loud against leviatan overall id favour sato but virtyy has a better duelist pool
blowz vs darker its easily darker not even close tbh
spike vs erde im taking erde overall the only time spike really stands out to me is when hes on neon so in the role they are playing im taking erde
kingg vs pancada im taking kingg just because hes more proven in this role but i can see a world where pancada reaches a similar level of calling
neon vs lukxo bro holy potential idek who to pick here both are so good maybe neon in this current meta? but who knows where the meta will be come stage 1 and later
but the biggest reason i think loud with this roster would be better is simply because onur is the biggest fraud there is the guy literally doesnt believe in anti strats, culprit for the famous lev save, and works his teams incredibly hard to the point of burnout.
idk he has such terrible decision making he feels like brazils kamyk but maybe it was a down year idk
he has kickoff as erde is 18 in february unless darker underperforms or something and they dont sub cauanzin out
everyone right now is glazing leviatan roster loud with erde is equivalent in firepower but they actually have a coach
erde scan and darker flex would make most sense to me
honestly over the year if they go for -cauanzin +erde
i think they have potential to be near the top but to start out i think they will be at the bottom

china knowers are clued in but most ppl on vlr have probably never watched a jdg game ever
bao is the best senti/flex from tier 2 and c0m has more potential as an igl than ethan ever did
tbh rrq probably is underrated bc of the amount of haters
one from each region that people arent paying attention to going into 2026 that i think could make a international
AMER: EG
they picked up 2 very talented up and comers in bao and okeanos. dgzin who is one of the best awpers itw getting another chance to prove himself. supamen who has consistently been the best piece of EG since hes been on the roster. and c0m + potter reunion with c0m reinventing himself as an igl. i feel like if everything goes well this team has a ton of potential
CN: JDG
the org most people will be unfamiliar with but they have actually been close to internationals before but have always lacked firepower they kept their core which showed promise at the end of last year and added zhe the standout player from ascension, yuicaw from wolves, and blg head coach bail who did miracles with that team last year. i think the stew + zhe 1-2 punch is one if the scariest in the game wouldn't surprise me if they were top of china this year
EMEA: KC
removed the harbor terrorist from the team and picked up upgrades on every role now they arent playing with weights
APAC: NS
extremely high firepower team that got even stronger with xross the best t2 prospect in korea and now they have a year of experience in tier 1 and a deeper coaching staff which has always been their weak point in gameplans but they grew a ton last year even beating geng and they continued to improve during ascension. i think this team is way stronger then people think
dude obviously im not saying players with more accomplishments than kaajak my entire point is to be roty at least for me you don't need to have some breakout success at a international level. most of these players were on teams that couldn't even dream of touching an international. but a team's success doesnt equal player quality. all of these players are better than kaajak at least judging from their rookie season performance. obviously people wont agree with me bc most people don't even watch regional play and will have some results or stakes based argument but thats not what im talking about at all.
since when does rookie of the year mean who was on the best team as a rookie?
governor i can get behind but asuna and xeppa need to go 2-3 years tier 2
you do understand that kaajak was the least impactful player on that team and only so many players get to join the likes of fnatic on their rookie season. if you take any of the duelists i named and put them on fnatic they would have been better.
