I haven't been following much of tier 2 outside NA, but it does seem we have some very good teams (M80, Guard, G2, even OXG or TSM, etc.). How do they compare to south american tier two teams? am i biased in thinking that we stand a pretty good chance to do well in ascension?

OMG this guy is from the future! If this happens I will give you 69.420 dollars!!

shahzam was born on mount Valorant. He baptised the entire city under the hill with his valorant-ness. Why must you talk so lowly about the god. Shazam. He deserves so much more.

Consensus in general seems to be Loud, NRG, Leviatan, FURIA, 100T, Sentinels, EG, MIBR, KRU, C9, very similar to OP's original. I personally have FURIA a little lower and Sentinels a little higher. Almost everyone has the same top 6, so would any of EG/MIBR/KRU/C9 making it to playoffs be considered an upset? I don't think it's unlikely that one of them will, but I'm very curious as to see how these rankings will change by the end of the first few games.
