What do you think the legacy of teams will be after champs? I'm asking because we actually have a good mix of young and upcoming teams with some of the old guard. Teams like LOUD, TYLOO, and GE fit the former better. While teams like PRX, G2, and VIT fit more into the latter.

This question is mainly posed for the older teams, as a lot of them have had disappointment and pure misery tied to them throughout the years. G2 and PRX are obviously known as chokers and underperformers, while VIT, even while having super teams, hasn't performed super well consistently, placing at highest 4th two times. If any of these teams win, they could possibly dispel these narratives that have built up over time and move into next year rejuvenated.

The younger teams, while having amazing storylines and narratives, don't have that much legacy built up. The youngest team with the most legacy, I would say, would be LOUD, but that is solely because of the 2022 roster which won champs. You could argue NS, which I would agree to an extent, but their legacy is solely placed into this year, which doesn't compare to the history that LOUD has. You could also argue for NRG, being comprised of 3 players in their second year despite winning last champs, alongside them having Ethan, the only two-time champs winner so far. If any of the younger teams win this champs, next year will be filled with anticipation for the team, not only to see them perform, but to see them possibly lose as well, as they'll probably have a massive target on their backs in the open quals.

I think the biggest one affected if they win would be PRX, I think they would be considered not only the team of the year (B2B 2nds into a Champs Win), but also the best team of all time. They've stuck with the core of davai, f0rsaken, and jinggg for so long that I think they have outlasted and outdone even the old superteam of FNC with them winning Toronto, 4th at champs, 2nd at Santiago, 2nd at London, and maybe a 1st at this Champs. Now while I don't know if they will win, or who will win at all, I think them winning would be the best storyline for the entirety of VCT as a whole. (plus everyone likes them so...)

You're free to discuss the teams that you think would be the best to win for storylines/narratives/legacy, but this is simply what I have been thinking about coming up to champs.

If you speak of leagacy tbh it only applies to a few teams
PRX:Would be the undisputed greatest team of all time winning both masters and champs with a similar core and would be the most dominant year of any val team ever seen (but could go wrong similarly as well if you choke 2 gf's and get grouped)
NRG:would be the first b2b champs winners,cheathan would be the goat and no one could ever be compared to him for a few years down the line,also will be in the greatest team of all time conversation
G2:Finally fulfilling their destiny and lifting an international after so long and proving americas is the best
NS:Would be the first team to win masters and champs in the same year,will start being in the greatest team of all time conversation
VIT:Chron and derke would be the goat esp chron
EDG:would start being in the greatest team of all time winning champs twice from a region that has'nt been that good
T1:Meteor would be a top3 player of all time,munchkin/meteor becomes the first player to lift both apac's first masters and champs

Anyone else would be mostly their first time winning or would just be a good story but these teams above have won or have been consistent for a long time so their legacy will surely be uplifted,others will have to be more consistent and start winning to make a legacy

Prx will flop. Vitality will win.
