State of GC (NOT DRAMA)

#1

melon_fan

So after

C9W disbanded
G2 Gozen lost Juliano and Mary (Mary hopefully can come back before GC Champs)
Guild X just sold their entire roster and picked up a new one
Benita leaving SR
LOUD GC challenging TL Brazil (TL made roster changes)
I actually have no idea what is happening in GC APAC

There is a power vacuum for the rest of the year

V1 is C9W 2.0
Not a clear #2 in NA with SR dropping Benita
G2 Gozen not as dominant with Marys replacement
High contention for EMEA #2
I still don’t know what’s going on in APAC

So any preds for the rest of the year?
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about

EDIT: just realized if Mary is taking a break for school this early she won’t be back for a while, up to June 2024

V1 is way better than C9W
Liquid just had a bad day while playing against loud gc, they won't lose again (loud gc is not even #2 in Brazil, 00 GC is better)
G2 Gozen is not as good as it was last year because Mary got replaced and Roxi has diamond level gameplay

Loud with the new Lineup can absolutely challenge Liquid

VCT GC 2023 WINNERS:

EMEA: BBL + G2
NA: V1 + SR
BRAZIL: TL
LATAM: KRU
SEA: SMG
EAST ASIA: DRX?

Overall winner? v1

not really risky predictions. east asia is hard because most of the competition hasnt started.

Too bad we never got to see Zeta play at East Asia qualifiers last year because of the flappy controversy, but I wouldn't count them out. Suzu is back and they took Kohal from Fennel

Zeta looking pretty good actually, though i think they had an easy group.
It's a shame that fennel crashed out so early.
Reignite was a team that flew under my radar.

It will be interesting to see who wins split 1

Yeah, Reignite kept the core that played East Asia GC last year. JP GC is fire

Can we just pretend that V1 is the next step of C9W? They're pretty much the same team, in spirit at least.

In APAC GC, SMG is smurfing. But Full Sense (Ex X10) are also good
