this was more of a guess, but i just saw its a random seeding process where they just play another random second seed if they have a first seed bot from their group, like sentinels could play someone like smb or even 100t but cant be anyone from their group until semi finals

im just a little blind, i didnt think pickems would come out until playoffs

VS-Sen
1-3

bruh how did i not see this, am i dumb???? or blind, tbh prob both

yoo the timing on this is insane

i did mine on google sheets lmao, u can do ur own since we know the groups.
game 1- 1st of G-A vs 2nd of G-D
game 2- 1st of G-B vs 2nd of G-C
game 3- 1st of G-C vs 2nd of G-B
game 4- 1st of G-D vs 2nd of G-A

then Winner of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 2
and then Winner of Game 3 vs winner of game 4
then the last 2 teams for the final

My berlin predictions
Has VLR rankings and personal rankings, also my view on the Playoffs

im a dumb ass who skips class all day

Order and Peace IMO but we'll see over time on how this will match up

Umm wrong way lmao, Peace won both maps and lost the series

To finally have an OCE slot would be great, hope this comes true

Kru beating envy i dont see, VK yea i can see something happening but then it would still be Zeta or Envy, which people still think JP is a bad region for val, im still tipping envy to top the group

Easiest group for Envy if they dont qual for top 8, all i would have to say is how? but i gotta believe in the envy dream

Free top 8 for envy Tbh

53/8

Let's goo they're backkk #soniqboom

Sacy bcj crashies, all good players you can combine play styles and use them to ur advantage to catch players off guard, good to learn things from different regions and their timing cuz it can make a difference.

they came last in iceland, and then lost to zeta so u cant do to much with them rn hope they prove us wrong though, i just want good games to happen

1. Sentinels (can't put anything above them no one can beat them at this level yet)
2. Gambit, Can't wait to see more of the EMEA region at LAN gonna be exciting to see CIS and Turkey at this level
3. VS, Exciting team sad we missed them at Iceland but now we get to see them here in berlin + Lakia diff
4. Acend fell short in EMEA play offs but i feel they'll be back stronger with CNED at the top of his game
5. SMB Very fun team to watch had my eye on them for a while and happy to see the success this team has had through EMEA and now to see on the world stage.
6. 100t Team built for LAN, time to prove that and show Asuna supremacy.
7. Vivo Keyd, A team i dont think anyone saw coming but after some pretty strong results i feel they can do well in berlin but we'll have to see the grouping and if it suits well for them.
8. Envy, Yay on LAN thats just gonna be hella fun to watch. Love to see envy do well
9. Bren, I feel sea will have time to show what theyre made of this tourney but will fall short of the top 8 but a lot of improvement from where x10 set them off in iceland.
10. G2, im not expecting too much but i feel a bit of a dark horse, i rank them similarly to bren. Can beat most teams in any situation but i dont see them making out of Group stage, especially when they may be in Sentinels group.
11. HL, I knew after stage 2 that they had something going well for them and they showed in brazil honestly think theyre another dark horse but having so many highly rated teams its hard to put them higher then some of them, do deserve a higher rating imo.
12. Zeta i feel that Zeta will show some good moments but other then that idk too much about the Jp scene.
13. F4Q havent watched too much but theyve had good moments so i feel they can put a challenge on certain teams on a good day.
14. Paper Rex, Exciting team but idk too much with Sea but from what ive heard they can put on a show.
15. KRU, not much to say for a 15th rank and making champions already is big for latam but that just might be saying KRU is just that much better in LATAM but still behind to the rest of the world
16. CR i dont expect much, theyre good but beating other teams like possibly sentinels or gambit i dont see happening, they put up a fight against V1 who had a sub and V1 made top 6 so dont count them out but i dont expect much.

My honest ratings anyone have opinions on their own rankings but i feel this is fairly decent ranking.

decrease the gun skins price to 1 val coin, only for me cuz im cool

yeah lmao but his name fits so im not really surprised

you put zeta and Paper rex in the seeding section twice instead of 100t and envy btw

to put VS in the same group as NO1 seed from emea isnt really fair on them logically but yeah it would be easier seeing the teams who are filling my predicted groups

i cant go past my boys at 100t sorry, got the flair. Its just a prediction tho seeing how many upsets happening recently wouldn't be surprised for some more coming soon.

my predicted groups
Group A
Gambit
Kru
Bren
F4Q

Group B
SMB
Envy
ZETA
Vivo

Group C
Acend
100t
VS
Paper R

Group D
Sen
G2
HL
CR

EMEA and NA teams are easy to pair up but the rest are harder, the NO.2 seeded teams from SEA KOR BRZ and JP all will be split into GB and GC and we wont know, and the same for the second seeds being split in GA and GD, Kru is almost in GA cuz no NA team will be in it and Kru will fill that spot naturally, this is my thought process some teams are inter changeable imo

Predictions from these groups
GA
GMB
F4Q

GB
SMB
ENVY

GC
100t
VS

GD
SEN
HL

sort the rest out in seeding i guess for the ro8 in the playoffs/finals

i dont think envy will be in the same group as gambit since gambit has no1 seed flip bren and envy and i think that fits

would've rathered 2 from each group and have 8 but the time slot has to fit, just means some teams we wont see play each other. Sentinels will have G2 most likely a japan and sea/latam team in their group. Then No.1 emea seed will have no NA team, F4Q, SEA team and 2nd brazil seed

Cant wait too see these two at Berlin gonna be a challenge to pick 1 out of these to make finals against most likely sentinels

Hello there,

farmer org and couldnt get anything from him for money kinda expected, im suprised how long imm was a t1 val team but now they gotta rebuild like tsm did who i feel are on the way up again. immortal wont be t1 until they stick with a team and stop selling

Sen vs Ace 3-0

guess whos staying up all night to watch esports through september?? meeeee

i just wanna see where people see teams at this stage, ofc its early but people can still have opinions on how it may turn out, NA so far is the only region u can have a good prediction though seeing only 1 spot remains and oce prob wont do much

Which teams are going to champions through LCQ, predictions based on who's still eligible even if they may not make lcq but still in stage 3 or could be over taken, just want predictions for NA, South america, EMEA and asia LCQ.
My predictions:
NA: C9 (if not 100t or envy depending on results of berlin) Order will come second cuz oce is cool :)
EMEA: Liquid
South America: Sharks or Furia (depends on Berlin results)
Asia: Nuturn or VS (depends on berlin results)

Valorants meta will change and it’s gonna be a team’s adaptability which will prove the best in the region and the world, unlike csgo which metas really wherent much of a thing, maybe a gun was op for a bit and people found line ups that where really good but it’s nothing like a new agents comp which can break open a game. Valorant is showing more variety and I love the game for that and how it’s always going to be interesting how teams adapt and I don’t think a team or region will be dominant for over years like Astralis did at all their majors, I honestly think regions will take their turns with their metas and who will be more dominant, Now I think eu may have an advantage with Ascend going to Berlin but you can’t tell really who’s better until they play in Berlin against sentinels or even Vs

Stop using cs as a comparison these are different games with similar movement and aim skill but other then that it’s all the mental and strats come up with, tenz used to choke on Lan cuz of his inexperience but now 2 years later he dominated LAN and won Iceland, they may be the same people we saw in cs but they’ve evolved and improved and we can’t compare them until it shows in Berlin and champions if the NA CS will happen in valorant also.

Cant wait for sm berlin gonna show us how turkey can play at Lan and shut some haters up

liquid beat forze then need to beat gambit/ascend to qual for berlin, gonna be tough

wait did stewie say he'll eventually switch?

Acend, Smb, Gambit G2

(people who dont read his name)

we spend hours training our personal kangaroos to ride to school and fight our enemies, my kangaroo gained some weight through the pandemic from inactivity but slowly getting back into shape

#8 smaller regions, (oceania tour, conquerors championship, Strike arabia)

zeta back to the top of jp lezz go

so dumb but i like it

welp, tsm fans gonna hate

yeah i enjoyed it 6/10 movie imo

Gummy is overrated using other peoples content to make his own thread, dare i say every other vlr user is stronger and more creative then this fellow

yeah i just wanted to include it since they qualified for berlin. thats it

yeah i think so
