Do we have a realistic chance this year?
I want autumn to succeed but even 4th at champs looks impossible let alone a masters, you're gonna need to hope that RRQ, FS and one of either GENG or DRX crumbles
DRX won't crumble
GenG got Lakia
FS has the confidence and RRQ are regional demons
It's joever
na RRQ were playing way better in the 2024 offseason . Their play objectively looked bad for a vct team so ya .
DFM in that offseason looked lowkey good in the radiant asia tourney , they even beat prx for god sake
they were even beating a champs winning EDG bro
RRQ are a weird team though, they can randomly turn into regional farmers. They're definitely a threat in APAC. Not a threat on an international stage.
like bro honestly this is my take u obviously disagree but RRQ will either do insane well this season aka win / contend for internationals or do so bad that this roster does not stick together for next season or they make roster changes this season itself . Cuz like RRQ are good becuz of their team chemistry . I think if they do poorly at an international again or don't make an international there will be roster changes .
drx is a meta cruch, and without a new meta heading into 2026 they cant hard rely on new macro, plus they lost their x factor player
geng lost their igl, who is one of the best igls in the world, and now are relying on a player who hasnt ever igled, hasnt played vct in over a year, and already isnt known for his fragging to lead the team
fs relies solely on confidence, and with a new coach + new igl could very easily get outplayed by top dog teams
rrq have a high floor but a low ceiling, and seeing how they didnt make any changes, they are relying on both individual performances to win
ge has both experienced players as well as fresh rookies, multiple callers, multiple shooters, and a tested coaching staff. The only question is that is xavi gonna be a good igl, as he is new, but seeing how they deliberately chose him to igl over kr1stal im sure that they will be fine
they can make champs potentially but even if they do they won't do much there
true, if they cant even beat the ascension team then their season is cooked
But the ascensciom is better than most teams so not a good judge as they are together longer as well
A chance "yes", if the chemistry builds up enough and people are giving more than average performance, GE could easily makes 1 or 2 international this year, especially with patmen now. They can definitely cause a surprise in this Kick-Off or even in Santiago Chile.
I think we do if everybody plays at their peak . We also dont have a smokes player so ya thats gonna be interesting .
GE should look for one or two consistent good players this season so they could make the team around them. Getting an international would be a bonus.
depends on how fast they merge well, frost is good at bringing a lower level team to a pretty high level
the roster looks good tbh, i hope they win against varrel. I want to see patmen vs invy lmao
i think GE have a good chance to go to masters/champs this year. i dont think t1 geng drx will be very good all year long. and rrq wont be good this year so id say 4 teams to champs is prx, fs, 1 of the korean teams and ge
