drop a take and i rate it 0-10
if you've already done one, feel free to do another
4/10, he is definitely overrated on this site but not as bad as some others
trent gets more shit than glaze idk how he is overrated and if anything alfajer is underrated
take a wild ass guess, you have 15 posts so maybe you don’t know yet but you probably do
MiBR misses santiago due to a lack of scrims
VIT qualifies to santiago through lower finals
7.5/10, I think Ascent is perfect in its current state and that wall on B main was an improvement
regardless of the changes in EMEA and chronicle leaving, FNC will still end up being the best EMEA team of 2026
8.5/10, boaster effect is inevitable but heretics/vitality could be a strong contender
emea is poo poo so i don’t doubt fnatic could be a top team
Most teams in Americas are looking competitive, though this is more of a warm take
8.6/10 just because 3 slots for Santiago + emea is ass
this was meant to be 8.5 but i missed the key on my keyboard so you get the extra tenth of a point
TS will at least get into top 6, while GE will, again, not making into playoffs.
9.5/10, 100T could genuinely do some insane damage if they put the right players on the right agents and we all know TH will gain plot armor just to make a grand final
obv im biased but i have high hopes for edg, tyloo could go on a run too
ENVY and SEN would do much better than people expect, and Eggsterr would be a Top Tier duelist.
8/10, ENVY will far surpass expectations and Eggsterr will shine, especially on LAN where Yoru is stronger (as we saw in ascension where he was their best player)
s0n keke
Bro has 14 posts in this thread since I asked for a counterpoint, and still no counterpoint lmao
wolves upgraded their roster by a large margin and are set to make at least 1 more deep run at an international
americas is going to the most fun league to watch, its not as good as apac but most if all the teams have a chance to go on a playoff or itnernational run
10/10, there will be very few boring Americas games but a lot more boring APAC games (nobody wants to watch TS GE or ZETA unless you’re from those countries)
now that saviour of SEA t2 glorious king Wayne "wayne" Chang is gone anyone is better than ts cro
4/10, idk about this one… sea t2 is ass right now because of he who shall not be named though
yeah, which leads t2 sea to be at like 50% of its potential
making mena t2 better
Nrg overcome champs curse because different owner and win another vct trophy
6.7/10
if it happens purp0 will be the lowest rated player on that team though
6/10, I think TL will ultimately “fail” by not living up to the hype and ULF will do a lot more than just making a regional playoff
TYLOO wins every trophy in 2026 and becomes the first ever team to be a dynasty surpassing FNC 2023
yeah no ur weird for that :p. nah but ur hella fun to play with too bc u just run it down and it works
Go ahead https://www.vlr.gg/597381/what-was-the-cambrian-era-of-valorant-like/#10
Also C9 is literally worse than Furia this coming year
4/10, you’re the icebox guy lol, i think a lot of coaches either care too much or too little about the meta but i think this year teams will readjust
3/10, Sacy just clears - 1 masters 1 champs, as well as winning in two different languages
Demon1 would be the best player in the world if he was on a team that had a second duelist like Jawgemo who can both flex and play duelist when Yoru/Raze are needed.
a player Like jawg or leaf would give us EG Demon1 back
He would be on the levels of aspas and chron if he wasn't always on duelist. I will die on this hill and I'm not even someone who likes demon1.
it was just horrible to play when it was open, either take 1v1 aim duels there or get flanked from 92388745 different spots on A
EDG was one of the more impressive champ wins and had some amazing anti-strating that caused them to win additionally all of them beside S1Mon were not at their individual highest peaks. (Smoggy peaked at champs groups and fell off hard in playoffs, Zmjjkk peaked at masters tokyo, nobody peaked mechanically in champs 2023, Chichoo peaked at masters bangkok)
Vitality will be dominating since kickoff until Stage 2, but eliminated early in champion group stage
3/10, they're not doing shit jamppi is a mediocre igl and other teams are gonna antistrat the fuck out of them
if you mean average placement, 4/10 because LOUD is ass and will single-handedly drag them down
if you mean overall, 7/10 because MIBR has a good shot
China won't win shit this year
Vitality are hella overrated for a team that's just waiting to flop
PRX are the best team in all of Asia and it's not close whatsoever
Tenz is the most overrated thing in all of both esports and sports
Emea are looking really weak and are still somehow gonna be better than China
1 - flair?
2 - yes
3 - yes
4 - i have barely heard his name after his retirement so no
5 - yeah
6/10
first one is 0/8 ragebait
second one is true
third one is true for now until team secret get whitecatw
fourth one is false. tr0nt exists
fifth one is half true, memea is dogshit and will always be lmfao mickey mouse region they will never be better than china
id say hes probably top 3 duelist itw if he had more experience hes CRACKED
Fullsense (or talon) wont do shit this year because crws is coaching and GE will destroy them every single time because they have FrosT
Follow up take: sadly no chinese team will make a gf next year, just like this one
water tastes and feels different based on temperature and cold water is the best
5/10, this isn’t a hot take at all
if you drink water room temperature you’re a psychopath
water at room temperature its the better taste, cold water its so overrated
w tmpest
esp when youre just done with sports or like out of a hot shower or whatever that shit is peak
KC are either be really great and be a top 3 eu team or be dogshit no in between .
miniboo is gonna fucking fry
Global are gonna end top 6
Sen are gonna suck
Alfajer is underrated as hell ON THIS SITE
If you exclude FNC and whoever happens to be the best Chinese team, CN will outperform emea at internationals this year
2 tier one teams that ascended are making Champs, excluding G2.
And ENVY isn't one of the teams I had in mind, either.
9.5/10
I think at least one of XLG/DRG will make champs if not both, and I could see a very decent case for both ULF and SLT
True but its really hard enough for any Chinese team to even make Top4 of any Internationals. Hopefully next year the Chinese teams do better. (This year Wolves was a fluke)
If panda/mindfreak was on the coaching booth instead of mini, PRX win Champs 2025.
I think their previous setup at Toronto where mini just give notes and tips was better.
7/10, I don't think they'd win but yeah mindfreak in the coaching booth gave them a huge boost
6/10, PRX clears all of Korea but they have good teams
also for some reason that region chokes so hard
gen.g has actually looked pretty damn good only losing to prx, and drx has waylay yoru which is the meta
