?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? I mean it's possible that TSM go to Berlin. But I won't bet my account on it. I just bet my flair on it if I wanted to. And also the comparison is really fine. KCP are a good team and they did do pretty well honestly last time. But I just can't say that they'll make Berlin. Just like TSM. I'm not a hater but I just don't think they'll make it to Berlin.
Most of your takes are good excepting when you backed ABX as contenders for Berlin.You may be right about Tsm though. V1 are playing with their full squad since Challengers finals, T1 look great, GENG were good last time too. There are a few dark horses in the form of KCP and Rise. Tsm have a tough time though. It is possible they go to Berlin, but this will be their toughest test yet. Even if they don't go to Berlin, they have to hope that they atleast get to Challengers Playoffs and get 50 points to get to Lcq. It's Valorant though, and it's NA and just like V1 last time, expect to see some teams like KCP, RISE and TSM to spring some surprises.
Lmao. I accidentally deleted a giant essay sadge. Guess I'll rewrite it.
I think Rise will probably be more likely to have an upset than TSM because they have very little vods and they play in a way that is just hard to receive. Like honestly I think Rise looked pretty good in their games. Even though I don't like their team. I can't not say that they literally are the definition of a team literally built to upset some major org.
KCP are an interesting case. Because they literally are in a very similar place to TSM. 0 circuit points. Both start against a very strong team: LG and GEN.G. And they both play similarly. I can't say for sure that either of these teams will do anything honestly. But they can. But they have to out do each other when they're not even facing each other. TSM have to put in the hours on the server to practice literally everything. Because the team out of these two that practice more. Will be the team that succeeds more. I don't think either of these teams can be a surprise though. They'll just have to outdo the other team honestly.
GEN.G, T1, and V1(maybe also LG) are the ones to beat. They all play a much more stable style than all of these teams. If the teams listed above were like Liquid or SEN. These teams are the FPX's and the Fnatic's. They just adapt very well and have very good agent pools. Also I can't wait to watch V1 with Zellsis because that dude is essential for that team to work honestly. Even if Thief is a god. He can't replace a core member.
LG and FaZe. Honestly I think LG make it far just because Yaboidre looks super nasty. That was ridiculous. But watch LG get upset round 1 lmao. And FaZe honestly. I think they look good. But. It's FaZe. You never know how they can throw. I think FaZe look good but I still just can't have trust in them to do well.
All in all. I think this is a very competitive bracket. Which will be hard for any team honestly to get to challengers finals. But let's see which teams have improved and evolved and which teams will die to not have a chance to reach champions 2021. (I'm so cringe for trying to add the motto of Masters Iceland but honestly it definitely applies here)
