Of course there is gonna be some speculation with my take given the lack of knowledge we have for these teams. That goes for 99% of these rankings though. My main justification is, like I said, lack of time. I don't think a month is enough to beat Fnatic. Of course, losing to fnatic doesn't mean that they are worse than EG, but I guess I just have a feeling. Idk, it's weird. I'm sure I can get proven wrong.

Ethan has always been underrated. Near the end of 100T's tenure, he did look a bit rough, but I always considered him to be the 2nd best player on that team, only behind Asuna.

I don't disagree with these head to heads when it comes to player skill, but team cohesion is always a major factor when it comes to ranking teams.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Though tbf to SEN, they got a much harder 1st round draw than EG. Could be awhile before we truly know.

Optic are historically a weak team in scrims, yet they were the most consistent team last year at international events. I will NEVER take scrims into account for these.

Okay now you're spitting out of your ass. I challenge you to find me speaking ill about Sentinels at all. I'm not some braindead hater.

Of course I changed my opinion after watching EG. They had a really solid foundation and great individuals. I don't know if Sentinels have had enough time to prepare. Sure, SEN has more potential, but idk if we're gonna see that here.

bro...

EG > SEN? They got the goats in Ethan and potter. Plus they've been practicing for a longer time than SEN have. I'm making this thread because I constantly see people putting Sentinels above EG in rankings. Thinking SEN might be a bit overrated.

Surely Brazil and LATAM don't drag the Americas record down even more.

baka?

1. 100T
2. NRG
3. C9
4. LOUD
5. LEV
6. EG
7. KRU
8. SEN
9. FURIA
10. MIBR

That was absolutely horrendous.

Get this team out of franchising and put The Guard in.

and perhaps he isn't wrong, but you need WAY more than just aim to do well in Tier 1 Valorant.

Been confirmed for awhile now. LOUD was the only competitive team internationally from Brazil.

Hey don't drag NA into this.

It's not troll, but it's very difficult to run properly. The character needs a lot of agency.

Unfortunately, it most likely ends for you after this series.

I'm watching these games on Sliggy's stream, and he completely lost faith in MIBR after losing a retake situation on B. "They don't even know basic fundamentals." OOF

Yo this guy is different, no?

bump

True, but she's really good as an analyst. Makes sense that she's coaching EG.

Stop the cap bro...

Easily ScreaM

Alright NA got the 3-0 start for out region. Don't let us down boys.

I mean, I still have 100T and NRG making it out, so it's not like I completely doubted them.

Yeah I'm ashamed of myself.

I gotta believe in my region more: https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/343e1a65

I'd put The Guard and M80 over them tbh, which makes 7.

Well it seems to have worked out for both sides, although I don't wanna jinx myself.

That's my goat! Looking good on the Yoru

I'm an inch taller 😎

all good now

At least they chose Fade with it.

Okay maybe Yoru is a bit troll here

Damn she's tall. Also, easy for goated coach.

He was always a solid player on 100T. Generally the second best player on the team behind Asuna. Also helps that he was a tier 1 csgo player for a decent amount of time.

I already fucked up by believing in PRX

How is this an insult? Burgers are delicious.

We haven't even seen EG yet, SicK is a 6th man, and dapr isn't even in franchising. Wtf is blud talking about?💀

Nah this is the Americas tournament.

Banger alert!

XEPPAPA

Chamber is actually good on Lotus

coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

I'm actually baffled that they didn't choose CR

bro why you keep bullying him?💀

Going straight to the bank with this one: https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/343e1a65

Nah this is some next level copium.
