Let's see if the other Chinese teams can capitalize and not choke for once (I'm looking at FPX specifically) and make EDG miss out on an international tournament for once after not playing to the best of their abbilities.

They were looking to get Saadhak and N4rrate if they couldn't get Ethan and Demon1 which would've been significantly better in hindsight
Saadhak goated IGL and N4rrate insane flex player

Nah lets be real for a moment

His name is never mentioned when talking about the best initiators in the world or even Americas and even NA. People rate Eeiu and Trent higher for example when they haven't even done half of what Com has.

He's gonna win Ascension this year but still not be old enough to play 🥹

Fnatic Sayonara in 2026 sounds good to me (would still miss a 3rd of the year)

That was like Prime Gambit v Crazy raccoon

People really thought that Aspas and Less were just carrying these guys asses or something?

These guys are legit

50% EMEA and Americas
100% Pacific
Bruh I would've predicted China easily but I only did my pickems once it was too late for China

100T beating MIBR is not weird at all
100T was easily an A-tier team last year with the potential of being S-tier while MIBR got recently formed and has some unproven players on the roster

So do other teams tho
Heretics is an even better example imo

Probably Heretics if they keep up the same form and everyone keeps searching for theirs along the year or maybe EDG is fully unleashed now

Who ressurected NRG fans?
Y'all gave us one player and we're about to have our worst performance ever

Is gonna be some of the highest level of skill we've ever seen

Fnatic and Loud created this superteam basically

Fnatic when they added Leo and Chron was definitely on the same level

Tbf to Russ he was on the dog role and was cold at times especially when the games got close

3rd best team in Copenhagen sad that they tried to change things around for lcq since i would've loved to see them at Champs

How is this MF still so underrated

Basically the coldest player in the entire world

Nah 2-0

They really gave these guys to the same team ffs they've got blood on their hands

They saved a lot of rounds

Too early but yeah seems like we missed out on the double turkish players buff

They are the future but you're trolling if you think their partner team would do this good

Leo is that secondary caller

He was starting to take charge of the calls last year

Naah Kaajak is the future but i see where you're coming from

We got to play 2/3 of our best maps tho

Fnatic going from a 5 foot assistant coach to a 7 foot one

They were my favorites up until last year

Woot, Riens, Alfajer, Xeus, Lewn, Mrfallin, Yetujey,...

They would be my favorites to win a Valorant world cup

Just worried about the depth of their strats

He's him nah

I'm actually convinced Turkey would win a Valorant world cup if they have somewhat decent strats

Im hoping its only this map but im worried

Fracture and Split should be good maps for us tho

No one's forcing you to watch lil bro

I haven't been this excited for a team (Vitality) in a long while

We eating good tonight

Watching Fnatic play into Vitality v KC banger

Yeah thats why they made grand finals in the last two international events

Makes sense i wonder how different it would be if EMEA still had the CIS region

I can talk trash all i want but yeah their worst teams will easily clear other regions worst teams no doubt.

Good night

feels like the perfect match

Good night tho

I predict Loud and 100T to win

Gentlemates are cracked

at playing in the vipers pit

Bro always gets multikills in them no matter if it's theirs or the enemies'

All of them being IGL's now besides Soulcas is crazy

FNC lost to EG when?

Loud lost their 2 best players like mf what do you mean Less and Aspas were right there

They will not admit it but at some point EMEA will dominate this game as well

Based on how insane our rookies do compared to other regions that barely have any new talent to promote in the first place

y'all can joke about the imports but EMEA still easily clears the other regions in terms of producing talent

Toughest possible round 2 match-ups that will end up deciding a lot:

G2 v NRG

PRX v T1

Rogue one but I believe Gentle Mates will be the biggest surprise of this year so:
TH v GM

I feel like they will be the team that no one expects to do well that actually does great this year (like TH and Gen.G last year)

It just feels like they levelled up big time

Gonna be a great year for EMEA Valorant

Team Vitality

Toronto has just ended and Fnatic put out the announcement: GOAT is back

Kaajak is fully integrated
Alfajer finally gets to play with his brother again
Boaster has been saving strats for Champs
Chronicle is still being Chronicle

We end a tough year by winning Champions
