he was lowkey right the wins were blow outs LMFAO

fraudulent team stfu cloudy and come play ranked pookie

life was really impressive in cn and all the other flex players underperformed for the most part, only thing i regret is putting forsaken so high, it was 3am when i made the list lmao

im sick of the "he's never played at a international event" narrative, its almost never actually happened

Today I thought id ruin all my future credibility on VLR by posting my masters Madrid predictions and getting them completely wrong, I'm gonna rank all the teams from 1-8 and then rank players by their role 1-8.

Starting off with the team ranking (if you want to know my reasoning for my decisions ill let you know down below)

Team Ranking
1-2 Karmine Corp
1-2 Sentinels
3rd LOUD
4th Gen.G
5th Team Heretics
6th Paper Rex
7th FPX
8th EDG

Now onto the player rankings, I will be ranking every player based on their role from 1-8 (note that the roles arent perfect due to overlap but i tried my best to fit everyone into their correct category)

Be sure to ridicule and argue with my list, i like having discussions like this :D

In my opinion Its

Sayf(Top 15 ITW)
ceNder(Top 5 IGL in EMEA)
trex(Top 3 Flex in EMEA
runneR(Top 5 Duelist in EMEA) Future top 2/3
Kicks(Top 5 Initiator in EMEA)

And Vitality will be tied 4th best in EMEA in terms of fire power but could definitely be top 2/3 depending on salahs plan, and how much the other emea teams troll. Could see them qualifying for madrid or shanghai depending on the seeding but i think they Will definitely be at champs

Someone Failed 8th Grade English , nt tho broski

yessir

i wont believe it until the confirmation tweet, impression farming makes rostermania preds a struggle 😭😭

Problem is who do sen even get as igl only people i can think of is mitch dazzLe poised or maybe gmd (NA's igl prospects are not looking good) , also i wasnt putting the replacement players because its so difficult to predict them LMFAO

With Champs Concluding id like to give my opinion on who i think will and should be replaced for 2024.**

100T: Most likely candidates for replacement are Stellar And Derrek aswell as either replacing mikes or giving him more staff to help him, sad to say as a 100T fan but 8th place and then 8th-9th isnt good enough.

Cloud9: With C9 i think they have good young talent but with qpert looking to leave i can see runi stepping to 6th man and being a assistant coach/sub, also jakee could get dropped but im not sure.

EG: If they touch this roster it will probably be getting rid of BCJ and picking up a younger and less salary costing prospect.

Furia: i think with the Jett nerfs coming in and Dgzin not having the raze experience the only people on this roster that will probably stay are Khalil and possibly Mwzera but even that could be a stretch.

Kru Esports: Keznit pretty much secured his spot for next year, i also thought DaveeyS looked a lot better and could be apart of their plan but apart from that their could be replacements.

Leviatan: Tacolilla MASSIVELY underperformed this year and especially with Jett nerfs coming in its likely he will get cut, i think the coaching needs to be replaced but the rest of the team are still top players.

Loud: I want to see them run it back but knowing Less and his inability to not blame and argue his teammates Aspas will probably leave for either a revitalized brazil based SEN or Furia/Mibr.

MIBR: Blow up roster apart from maybe RgL. that's it lmfao.

NRG: Only area i can see a improvement is possibly dropping Ardiis for a NA duelist either experienced or a prospect for FNS to mold into a star.

Sentinel: There is 2 ways to go about this roster, either they let go of Tenz for some money and bring in Aspas or the other option is to get rid of Sacy and Pancada and go with a full NA roster.

Let me know your thoughts on who will move and where during Rostermania, Also if you guys are interested i will do the same thing for EMEA(Bedge) and Pacific(WAYTOODANK)

what about at tokyo where aspas was worse than someone like d4v41? No one had d4v41 that high on their top 15 list, or does that event not count???

im not saying any of these players are better bro aspas obviously is better than sayaplayer but its a prediction not a power ranking 😭

my reason for loud being so high is just because they had the same thing last year, i think they will over achieve expectations and then the team will blow up in the off season again.
