Let me go first:
- Fnc
- Navi
- Giants & TL
- Vitality & Gentlemates
- KOI & FUT
- Heretics
- KC (a lot of potential but who is the fifth and is Bati really joining?)
- BBL
Honestly i had a hard time ranking the bottom cuz there just arent straight up washed and garbage teams this year. Even BBL has some strong pieces with Qutioner & Elite but is probably the weakest. KC is the hardest to judge because things are still undecided for most spots. But Kadavra, Marteen and Sh1n can be a strong core. The big issue for them is getting a good igl now. If they can then they could make playoffs for sure.
FUT seems the most stagnant to me. Only a Cned signing could make them keep up with the improving competitors and secure their Champs spot. Heretics look decent but not great. Thanks to them for getting good T2 talent into the scene. Wo0t is the next Alfajer. Riens is really good. But overall more than fighting for the 4th Champs slot at best is quite unlikely.
Not much to say about FNC and Navi.
Giants with a new IGL could be their breakout year. Great great talent. If they dont win something big this year Cloud is gone. I am very sure they will qualify for globals. TL is gonna be up there as well. Mistic was a top 5 player in all of T2. Fantastic performances really. And on smokes there should be no team flashes 🗿. Enzo top 3 T2 IGL. Nats is the goat. Jampi good flex. This roster should be in a big rivalry with Giants and Navi all of next year.
Vitality are the team that is in the pole Position to step up if one of my top 4 stumble. Good young T2 Talent, A top 5 Emea player to lead them and some great coaching staff.
KOI has some fantastic pieces with Trexx/Sheydos but their tiny budget stops them from making that next step towards being a great team. Alive is very good too. But 4th should be their ceiling.
Gentlemates bring in mutliple good players. Only Wailers is a weak point but he was still new to valorant during Ascension he might improve very quickly. Additionally M8s bring a lot of synergy and momentum from their T2 run and should be really strong especially in the early parts of the season. But if they snowball their early advantage well they can make it to Champs.
---------------------------------------
In Conclusion i gotta say that the top teams only marginally improved or stayed the same but the bottom teams are much much better than last year. Half the league was utter trash. But now most teams down there should show decent performances imo.
