I root for the teams i believe to have more potential to win internationals. I have some players i like more, sure, but i prioritise the right teams suceeding/fullfilling their promise

to my knowledge its an affiliate relationship and will dissolve on promotion

region honestly

GiantX will handily beat them

2-1 M8 early Upset

Someone save my Goat shao

Vit + 12

BBL Pcific 3-1

Comeback +40

righfully downvoted but eternal fart is a good one.

Vit +13

Xeus 60+ Kills

brother... beyaz and wailers beat all turkish teams in 2023... dont hide behind 2022

turkey should always be in top 4 with their player level. They failed the past few years

ah.. the problem Pcific had last year. Thats another reason why i think they are better. 1 year more experience

EMEA:

Derke Duel
wo0t flex
Leo ini IGL
Less Senti
Keiko smokes

Zyppan... lol

would be cool if both make international next year and play vs each other. then we could find out!

well i dont expect crashies to shoot back. For me They will be carried by alfa chron kaajak firepower wise. Meaning good team but just not great

BBL pcfifc....

They goin to Toronto baby

Very interesting pickems

What a free win. The rest of the region needs to stand up and at least be a challenge for Turkey in the coming splits

Isnt that the best team in Americas T2 rn?

Well, It took em long enough...

One win too much in group 2

You can do as you please, sir. It just pleasant for visibility if its formatted nicely.

I am predicting they will struggle in the beginning due to their 2 best maps rotating out. But if they make playoffs through tiebreakers then they will be strong there.

Never pred the most obvious things/the favourites. In valorant regularly upsets happen. Like Liquid surprised in kickoff another team may surprise in stage 1. Performance isnt constant

This is according to my pickems. Drop your pickems based preds too. Like actually calculate the wins and losses you predded and post your standings here!

1. Vitality 5-0
2. Team Heretics 4-1
3. Fnatic 3-2
4. Navi 2-3
5. GiantX 1-4
6. Apeks 0-5

--------

1. Karmine Corp 5-0
2. FUT 3-2
3. TL/BBL/GM8 2-3
4. KOI 0-5

So annoying how people always have to get ego

If they win Lotus this comfortably this match is unwinnable. GG

Im not even sure he is 18. This could be problematic

His wife caught him with a hooker

Beyond both being insane turkish duelists they are very different players

yes

Well. Considering they will likely ascend they will lose access of them.

But BBL roster is pretty good so its not the end of the world

RIP

I think he is a good T2 player who had a life game. As a stand-in he would do his job but if i was a coach i wouldn't really look towards him as one of my signings honestly.

But who knows. If he can keep it up its obviously a possibility.

2-1 PCIFIC

Turkey is so far ahead of everybody this year. 3-1 EF. It is what it is.

I am not saying they are unprofessional. But they have no fans as an org and dont have a good/popular team under contract either. Plus very little presence in riot games esports.

I struggle to put them higher than anybody else

Partnership system is likely getting changed for 2027 to 6-8 partnered teams and rest ascension ones.

Plus lcq thats also available for T2 and T1 teams to qual for internationals

They have consistently one of the higher viewership averages. Apeks doesnt appear in the top 5 viewed matches outside of their GM8 match whereas GM8 does.

They have one of the highest fanbase potentials in emea. Just need some more success. French bring the most viewers so they deserve the most orgs currently.

If you wann get in new markets replace apeks/giantx for Fokus or smth

Team of notorious chokers. It is what it is

Honestly... Makes me feel like CGN would have outperformed them. They just got unlucky with BBL pcific.

Oh god. Even more al0rante propaganda

I have no problem with Mandatory. I support Vit, KC and Gm8 in VCT. I just think they are not a good team. Thats all. I am not cheering against them.

And mercenary or not. Vitality will win first french trophy. That means a lot.

Besides Natank and Kadavra there just are any great french players right now. Maybe veqaj and shin could be solid.

They have never really drawn much in esports. Doesnt seem like the name value is doing too much.

I dont think riot is gonna make partnership contingent on short term competetive success alone.

The will look at fan potential, viewership, the serving of different markets, financial stability, competent operations and then maybe success as the last factor. As long as someone isnt deliberately spending pennies for years and is always a bottom feeder then they wont care

TL has, like FNC, brand recognition amongst the general audience. They have less of a dedicated hardcore fanbase than the country-specific/streamer orgs but add value to the ecosystem as a whole. Due to the sheer longevity of their esports presence they have amassed some level of core audience but its still not comparable to the streamer orgs

They have been around for decades. They regularly make their payment in time and spend pretty big on rosters. For esports that is very stable

Brother i am looking at viewership. Reality is that france is currently showing by far the highest esports viewership in europe. I clearly explained this if you read the post but you'd rather just sling shit at me uninformed.

Appreciate it
