As the VCT is about to start / has already started in most Asian regions, I think it'd be cool to make a Tierlist of how good we currently think or predict each region is. Could be fun to look back at and see how wrong we were, just like in the APAC LCQ.

Btw, I chose to split up the SEA regions just because I rarely see people rate them individually and I'd like to see which ones people think are best and have the highest chance to claim the SEA Master's slots.

PS: If your link looks identical to the one above, don't post it. Your tier list won't show unless you download it or save a screenshot through imgur

I’ve got more hopium in DetonatioN than Jadeite tbh. Jadeite picked up some mediocre JP players for their last 3 slots while DetonatioN chose to sign some ex-Pubg pros (which has a lot more potential imo)

Edit: DetonatioN also has HSK who transferred from CSGO

Source?

I believe the Korea VCT Open Qualifiers start on February 4th while Japan’s starts on February 14th
Hong Kong and Taiwan will still have their own separate VCT in APAC, competing for two playoff slots
Unfortunately I have no clue on what will happen with China

gtn literally could have hit the clip of the century holding a smoke to win the round, but instead pulled out his knife and jumped to his death...bruh

Definitely a sub or an analyst or something
Unless koosta is returning to CSGO, I'm pretty confident he's just a backup sub

Paycheck stealer who embarrassed the Brazilian region at Reykjavik with his Yoru gameplay

DK and ESC are both real contenders for beating VS, with VS in all honesty probably getting weaker over the break due to losing k1ng

🤨

That’s what I’m thinking, especially since Derke gets a major debuff when he’s online

Bro...it's s0m...what do you think

XSET, LG, Rise, TSM

1) Two Open Qualifiers decide 8 teams in total (4 teams from each) - Ro32 and above is double elimination
2) Round Robin Groups Stage: two groups of 6 teams (top 4 teams in each group advance)
3) Double elimination bracket (? teams advance to international stage)

C9, 100T, SEN, and NV are all already qualified for the Group Stage

Based, it's underrated af

DRX, ESC, DK, C9, The Guard, Sengoku, DetonatioN, Igzist, Gambit, Mibr, Secret

Stax Breach > Lithuanian Breach imo

Literally invented the Breach meta

XETAAAA clutch gene

These casters need to start watching the game a little bit more. They are saying stuff like "s0m has the guided light, he can use it but I think he's saving it" when the observer literally just watched Xeppaa pop his Kayo ult.

100% Upgrade

Ruin Dagger and Prime 2.0 Karambit are both S tier knives

Xeppaa looks so much better than he did a month ago as well

New casters, you've gotta give them the benefit of the doubt. I will say though that the commentary is very slow though and they're getting a lot of details wrong

Guild and Liquid are going to surprise you ;)

And it’s not even a T1 JP team :(

Pretty disappointed with this announcement tbh. I mean I’m happy for him and he gets to play now I guess, but it’s literally just ex-BBI, which was a T2 team in a T2 region. Dude’s going to have to carry this team hard for them to even qualify out of JP.

Either way, I’ll support his decision and at least see what this team has to offer.

PS: Can we get an IGZIST flair please?

Normally on the Monday before the tournament, you will be able to see it here

The saturation and the proportions for most flags is off though

Lmao, C9 taking a tactical timeout when they are up 12-4, definitely my favorite NA team

Duelist: Derke
Flex: Zeek
Initiator: Sacy
Controller: MaKo
Sentinel: Nats

C9 trolling the agent draft and still winning xD

Originally I wasn't big on TSM picking up Rossy, but since watching his streams, I think he's got a lot of potential. People shouldn't be judging him based off of his time on Immortals imo because you can't really blame someone for not performing in that environment (ie: roster change every month).

I'm going into Stage 1 with a completely fresh opinion on him, hopefully he can put in the work.

Nvm, apparently Spirit don’t plan to enter the scene anymore

NU: Lakia

NAVI 3-1 Spirit

Which matchup gets more viewership? FF vs BBL or Futbolist vs BBL?

+1
All the colors are too dark imo and I don’t like how sharp the edges look
At least the South Korean flag didn’t really change much

🙏

Best team in the 2nd Closed Qualifier, probably would've qualified in the 1st qualifier had they been on the other side of the bracket with NiP

He literally didn't even get to play a game, feels bad man. Hopefully he can find another team before the season starts.
Anyways, since he was the Sova player for the team and Lakia apparently got signed to a new team already, does that mean what I think it means?

PS: Not sure if Moothie or Bazzi was confirmed to be the Sova player for the team, but either way, this could be big

Rb or Bunny (in terms of movement)

Bo5

Rogue, Misfits, or CLG

Team Spirit sign this roster if they make it to playoffs, right?

Wonder if OCE only getting one slot to the SEA playoffs had any influence on this

Wait, why did Keloqz just drop his awp and than not pickup the vandal next to him in that 1v1?

Lakia and Seoldam flair pog

I miss the old VS logo already. Definitely was one of the cleanest looking logos (plus the pink looked fire)

Tenstar and Knights both have ugly logos imo

and exy

Worlds would just be KR and CN teams if Riot was Valve
