TenZ on LAN isn't the best tenz. At least wasn't on cs. Cause he was dogshit back then.

^^^ TenZ was horrible on lans during his time in CS, however, I want to believe he took that as a learning experience and can so how dominant he really is in Valorant. IDK tho

Will be interesting. I would imagine the recent popularity would help him deal with the pressure of being one of the favourites to win. And his play style should translate over to LAN well. But yeah his past experience isn't good. It's hard for me to compare CS Tenz to Valorant Tenz. A lot has happened since then.

It depends, overall I think TenZ has a better gamesense. Imo, both are cracked af. I love Scream’s famous 1taps.

That's pretty much the top 4 going into the tournment IMO and I can't say really well who is the best among them. While FNC and LIQ are clearly strong, SEN is in a scenario where most of the other teams are really bad so we can't measure how good they are while VKS is in BR where there where only 4 teams that were actually competitive, but how good was this competitiveness? Maybe even Noturn is better than that. Maybe they're the real deal.

what you are experiencing is the “fan affect”

you worry about your favorite teams not winning, which then leads you to believe that they probably won’t

I have never missed a single match in the regions NA BR KR EU, and have watched most of the semifinals and grand finals of the games in JP, SEA, OCE, and LATAM. You better take back your word if my ranking is accurate. For the first round, I expect Sharks > NUT, VKS > x10, FNC > KRU, V1 > CR. Does that sound reasonable to you?

Edit: To clarify I mean the games in the big events like Challengers Finals, Masters, or Closed Qualifiers and I started watching pro Valorant in December

Your first round preds are fine, your rankings are dogshit though. Sharks and V1 over fnatic and kru is braindead, and x10 at 2nd is straight up just delusional

I have only watched the NA scene and some of the EU scene as well, I also hear that the SEA scene is good.

In the end, comparing to CSGO in overall. I think NA and EU will dominate the event. I hope KR teams will surprise us by their deadly gameplay.

EU is levels above NA tactically. Maybe NA can come in with their individuals but TL has that.

FNC - TL upper final with Sen coming from lower, I have no clue about the rest.

Happy to see every team and every game! I haven't been this excited about a tournament since TI9. Popcorns are ready, vamooool!

FNC or TL. And I'm a big NA fan. Sen def top 3, could be top 2 if very strong counter to EU playstyle (very coordinated, team playing, no ego throwing)

well, at least this time there's no group stage, so he can't flop before the real tournament begins.
He never won a major because he never went to play-offs, so ... never been close actually.

Lol you are right, indeed his team became LDLC, right? That was the first major, all his teammates became legends.

I don't really remember many things, just fnatic beating NiP in final. f0rest made 2 memorable maps but the last one was probably his worst performance ever.

1 - Fnatic (if they finally learned to play split and ascent, if not then they will not win 100%)
2 - Sentinels (really good team, might choke)
3 - Liquid (really good team, might choke)
4 - Nuturn (they looked really good in the VCT, really well-rounded team, the biggest dark horse in the tourney imo)
5 - VKS (also pretty good, I feel they have a similar playstyle to sentinels, but sent does it better)
6 - V1 (they certainly had their moments in the VCT, but I don't really know what to expect, could also be a dark horse in the tourney)
7 - Sharks (good team but inconsistent sometimes, depends on whether they are having a good or bad day)
8 - Crazy Raccoon (they didn't look that bad but they lost a 5v4 against sentinels so...)
9 - X10 (I don't know much about them, I have only seen the highlights, idk if they are a good sample or not but I wasn't that convinced)
10 - KRU (literally haven't seen anything from them, VKS scrimmed them and saadhak said they were really good so we can never know, they might be real contenders, tho I will play it safe for now)

It’s funny because brazilians are already kicking asses in Immortal/Radiant rankeds.

VKS Saadhak on his Twitter account has already confirmed what I said:
BR ranked >>>>> EU ranked.
In fact, Brazilians are not trying to reach Radiant, we just wanna fucking survive on our’s current rank. (My case, in Immortal). Never underestimate some random guy named “Joãozinho matador” because he is probably 13yr old and flicks better than any aimbot you can buy.

Honestly I’m starting to believe Team Vikings and Young Sharks Will make the final in Iceland.

I think Saadhak tweeted that because EU ranked consists of players who instalock duelists who doesnt use voice comms compared to BR ranked which is (I suppose) better

Win the tournament: VKS, SEN (if TenZ not choke), TL (same as SEN, cuz the chances of being Scream 1v9's really high) or FNATIC
Might be the dark horses: Nuturn, Sharks, Crazy Racoons (yes, it's possible), V1 and KRU.
Idk where I'll put this, but need to be really low: X10
