team USA are NOT the favorites

to win the osu! world cup 2025.

why, you may ask?

even tho they got strong tourney players, I think Australia, Poland, UK, and Russia are slowly catching up. There could also be dark horses like China, Germany, Chile, or even Hong Kong.

thing is fragrance quit, jahkon doesn't wanna play tourneys, forum quit, we don't know if flyingtuna or hyeok will still play OWC, so it might be just Allegrissimo and Amamya Kokoro and some other newcomers

SK are still one of the favorites, but they aren't on the level of Poland, US, Australia, Russia, or even Germany

Germany winning would be generational. Who would you say are the favourites out of all your options?

calling it now

UK + Chile podium

Reasoning:
these can only happen if EZChamp is back on the UK roster + if all of the other Chilean players step up/the mappool favors their skillset more

they've already got the players they needed, and also some countries look weaker than last year (looking at you Canada)

absolutely fair reasoning

UK and Chile have some of the world's fastest improving players + way better tourney players than other countries

Prob 7-8th maybe 5/6th if they get a silly upset. They should be a solid team
