ADDENDUMS FOR EMEA AND AMERICAS CAN BE VIEWED HERE: https://www.vlr.gg/157308/franchised-orgs-megathread
There have also been reports that Chinese teams may attend Sao Paolo since VALORANT has been approved in China. If this is the case I will NOT be covering these teams because I am lazy.

PREDICTIONS
After going through all the orgs here's my predictions for the top 3 in no particular order from every region. A lot of this is based on pound for pound firepower and chemistry, and does not take scrims into account. This is also my opinion, so feel free to disagree

Americas: C9, NRG, LOUD
EMEA: Liquid, NAVI, Heretics
Pacific: PRX, DRX, Talon

FINAL THOUGHTS
This project was 100% me biting off more than I could chew and took way longer than I anticipated. I originally estimated this taking around 3 weeks back in October and now we are a little over a month away from the LOCK//IN Tournament. Nonetheless I enjoyed doing it and learned a lot about all the partnered organizations, especially those in the Pacific which have some crazy big legacies.

I also sincerely appreciate the community's positive reaction to all these posts. It's what largely motivated me to finish out this project. Whether it be someone offering feedback, a correction, starting a discussion, or commenting “bump” at 3am so users in other regions that didn’t see it may get the chance to, it means a lot to me. For now I’m going to take a break until after the LOCK//IN Tournament and then possibly do weekly highlights on matches from the Americas league. Linked below is my twitter, and my 2 other megathreads for Champions and NA LCQ (although these are a bit dated)

Again, thank you

W, but how in the hell did Heretics make it to top 3 EMEA and how Fnatic didn't make it if its pound for pound? They have most stacked roster and in the past has almost always placed high.

Fnatic is only "the most stacked roster" if you're a delusional SHITMEA fan

Boaster -> one of the worst T1 IGLs
Derke -> Mid tier Jett player
Alfa -> Top 7 Duelist EMEA
Chronicle -> Good player
Leo -> Overrated

Mini -> Shit

No offense, but Heretics is full of inconsistent players who haven't played in their peak form for long time. While Fnatic has arguably the most stacked on paper roster in whole world and then you have teams like KOI, Giants and Vitality who all have stronger rosters and higher potential in my opinion at least. I predict Heretics to be like 7th or 8th in EMEA and that is far from 3rd. But its just prediction and they could do well. I just don't think their current roster has what it takes.

Mid tier Jett who always dominates whichever international tourneys he gets to play? Cmon I thought your baits were getting less outrageous

fnatic does this thing where they look really really really good on paper and then end up not being really really really good

I would not mind being proven wrong

When was the last time Fnatic dominated a tournament?

I seem to remember them almost getting grouped by Furia, splitting series with 100T, and then going winless against international competition in knockouts?

Perhaps we have different definitions of "dominate"

That is not that true though. I don't think Fnatic has ever looked crazy good on paper. Even if you look at their last roster they had Boaster, Mistic and Enzo on there. Don't get me wrong Mistic has had some good showings, but they weren't stacked outside of having Derke and Alfajer obviously. But this new one is stacked and by far the best they've had on paper. Leo and Chronicle are massive individual upgrades over Enzo and Mistic.

And they have been good what you mean? They were always amazing in EMEA. They looked easily the 2nd best in Stage 1 EMEA and won Stage 2 while looking amazing and arguably better than any team in the world thats why they were the favorites. They always look worse in international tournaments, but even still they placed 4th in Copenhagen and 5th-6th in Champions. They had subs in Reykjavik, but with full roster would have easily placed top 5 at least if not higher.

so even though I get you its still pretty false narrative when they have always looked really good in EMEA and even placed high on LANs.

same delusional shitter said the same thing about alfajer and enzo when they joined

now we're just gonna erase history to repeat it

Fnatic will never be an international contender with Boaster and Mini, they are shit. Should have kept Magnum and Mistic and drop shit IGL.

They go out in quarters at best, start coping now.
