The end of LEV.

Even before the Ascension (Americas) playoffs, there were already M80 fans saying that they would be top 6 franchise teams. After 2G beat M80 twice, the same people who said that M80 would do very well in the franchises are the same people who are saying that 2G won't win any matches and will waste the opportunity...

The team that sent the M80 to lower and eliminated the M80 in the final will do less than the M80 itself.

What is the logic of this?

Who instead? Since i dont put igls.

He had a good start, but the team suffered a lot because he couldn't bring the meta gekko to the team. And for the rest of the year, he was unable to organize the team and they failed to qualify for champions, even with good players on the team. His year as IGL was not positive.

what?

But isn't about trophies. Tuyz can play Harbor, Brim and Astra. He has a lot more to offer as a controller than Tenz. Tenz is better player, not better controller.

Why LUL?
One of the best KJ anchors I've ever seen.

I don't want to mix the IGLs because I can't evaluate their mechanics very much. Although Valyn and Kingg don't have this problem.

Definitely not better than Tuyz. But between him and Cryo It's very debatable.

Is unfair to Tenz put him out. Bang plays Omen 70% too. S0m played like 5 matches and Cryo isn't even a true controller (but he plays more agents than Tenz lmao)

Alright, man.
But I don't think it's fair for me to put Saadhak in fifth place when he didn't do anything great with a team that had good players. EG had a similar result to Loud, even though they had a much worse roster.

I found the clip funny and laughed a lot. I don't know if you think this is disrespectful, but after the clip I watched the video and I thought you were very nice and polite. And I could see that you understand a lot about Valorant. It looks like you were once a professional player.

The people who laughed have nothing against you, I'm sure of that. Nobody wanted to be disrespectful to your image.

Yes he is. But I think it's better to put him in the top 5 than Mooser from cloud 9. I was unsure between the two, but I think Zellsis had a good year with KJ. It's fair to put him in top 5 imo.

who?

Ty hermano. Tamo junto

Less play Viper a lot, but Viper is like a sentinel too. Competitively it is used this way.

congrats, now your team dont have a sova or fade.

If you owned a team, and had to hire an initiator, would you hire Heat or Ethan?

saadhak couldn't adapt to Gekko's meta and ultimately was playing Neon. Of course he is one of the best IGL in Valorant, It's not entirely his fault that Loud was left without a duelist, but unfortunately I had to take that into consideration.

Nature = potter tbh.
EG did so well for the line that they had to play in 2024.

OK, he isnt flex, but he isnt the primary initiator. That is it.

Don't be crazy. Jawgemo is not better than Keznit and Oxy. Oxy literally carry some match's for C9. And Keznit is more constant duelist than Jawgemo. Jawgemo is very good raze, but Keznit is more well balanced between Raze/Jett and Neon.

I agree. But S0m needs to play to be in the conversation.

Heat's first year playing as an initiator and he did very well, but Sova was missing from his pool. Sacy is one of the best supports in the history of the game, he has a huge pool and has adapted to Gekko's meta.

Above who you put Jawgemo?
C0m kekw... Sova lurker.
Ethan too flex to be in 1 role.

When you see Tenz playing with Harbor, Brim or Astra we can talk.

Yeah, mazino is very good initator... plays breach and cant get 1 person with his ult. Mazino is too flex to be top 5 initiator.

He usually plays Jett or smoke. Sometimes from Gekko. Controller was very difficult to make, since I couldn't place the IGLs.

First of all fuck all flex players.
Second, IGL cant be placed as a controller, initiator.. Only as IGL.
It's in order. However, I am open to changing Initiator, Controller (hardest),
Sentinel and IGL. Duelist im sure about my choices.

Duelist:
Aspas
Zekken
Keznit
Oxy
Jawgemo

Senti:
Less
Leaf
Shy
Tex
Zellsis

Controller:
Tuyz
Tenz
Bang
S0m
Cryo

Initiator:
Trent
eeiu
Heat
Sacy
Derrek

IGL:
Valyn
JohnQT
Kingg
Boostio
Nature

What do you think?

yeah, both deserve hate.

I laughed a lot when I saw this clip. Very dramatic, but she's cool.

Put money in Narrate's pocket and it works.

They didn't lose already. But Less is in same agency that Aspas join when he leaves Loud. Lose Less isnt good for any team. The guy is so good..

What team you think Aspas can go? What team can buy him?
The owner of LEV already sayd he doesnt want lose any player in the actual roster.

You guys believe too much in tier 2. Maybe im not that confident like you. I like players who already proved themself.

Where you got the news about MIBR roster? I remember saw a video about the coach of Talon saying about some brazilian team looking for NA players, but idk if this is true. And even if they are, players t2 from NA isn't enough.

If Sen get N4rrate they would have a chance, if they dont, i dont see how the team can be better. Nismo is like a worst version of Sacy. Zander is a better controller than Tenz for sure, but dont have the same fire power. and besided that, they are a new roster. they will need time to be a good team.

What are you talking about? Sen doesn't need a duelist. And no, jawgemo is not even a top 4 duelist in the Americas. And what's the lie about Jawgemo that I told? wtf...

2G you cant assume. They never played tier 1 before.

LEV you probably assuming Aspas is out of the team, and i dont.

MIBR i don't see how, since they say nothing about a new roster (It makes sense considering that last year they only won 4 games kekw
) but im talking about to a real improve like, playoff chances.

Sen make no sense either. They have a big gap to solve.

Out of context.
If you want risk, at least get Demon1 as controller (astra buff and good fire power
IF YOU WANT RISK

Zander is the best option for controller. he plays omen a lot, sen is used to play with omen, so...
ZANDER IS THE BEST OPTION FOR CONTROLLER

If the rumors is true Less should join Kru and NZR is free agent too, and i do think they will try to get him because Melser (actual IGL) is out of contract until now.

Keznit
Shy
Less
NZR
mta

4 good players (MTA average), but they will have some role issues, if they can solve that question, the team will be one of the strongest in Americas.

Sen needs a initiator and a controller. Jawgemo in 2024 play most of the time as a duelist(and not even that good). i know last year he played with controller/raze, but bro... 1 year ago..
If you want risk, at least get Demon1 as controller (astra buff and good fire power) and N4rrate as initiator. Narrate is like the solution. he can change Sen future.
Zander is the best option for controller. he plays omen a lot, sen is used to play with omen, so...

delusional asf. Jawgemo, Marved, Yay... wtf is that ? Nismo is good supp, but not Sentinel caliber.

If they chocked against M80, imagine when they see Aspas killing 30 or G2 anti tactical

Sentinels will have to reinvent themselves. It won't be so easy to find a player to cover Tenz's firepower and another to cover Sacy's experience/support.
They can put two younger guys with good mechanicals, but generally teams formed this way take longer to work. Everything will depend on their start of the year, if they start well, it will be a sign that the new roster has worked. However, it is likely that the team will be good for stage 2 (they need time).

I explained a little of my point of view about Loud in a comment below.

Loud dropped the ball by the middle of the year. Before that they were doing ok.
Loud will face these problems: Loss of their best player (Less) and the loss of one of the best IGL in the world. Until then they have Pancada, Tuyz and Cauazin. They are not the worst players, but nothing special. They will need to find a good duelist and a good IGL, I don't think that with the investment they are willing to make, they will get two quality players to fulfill this need. they have staff problems too.

I dont think Lev will change, but like i say before, this is assumption.

C9 could be better since they remove Vanity, but what IGL we have in Americas who is willing go to C9? I was thinking about that.. what they gonna do about the new IGL? The team is average, they can improve for sure, but without a good IGL, they are cooked.

But not because his skills as controller. His good aim, make him a great player.

Pancada 2024? S0m clears.

kekw list. Tenz top 3 controllers lmao. Agent pool doesn't matter to your list, right?

Exactly. The only hope I see for MIBR is that Frod could fundamentally make the team play very well. Individually, MIBR players are below the others.

Idk if Jawgemo have space in another team. The think about EG is they dont have money to make improves. Apoth need to be replaced to someone else, but if they can bring nobody, i think the team will be same thing. Still can wins some match's, but will not make playoffs.

I cant read that much in english. i get dizzy. Sorry.

The most important thing: I think they keep Aspas on the team.
If you look at the beginning of the year, it was literally Aspas and friends. Then it became Aspas, Kingg and friends. And towards the end of the year they started to play better as a team. All this within 1 year. If they keep the squad, they will have enough time to solve the problems they had in 2024. They are certainly one of the favorites to win VCT AMERICAS again.

Based on what I've seen, I'm going to tell you which teams I think will improve based on their 2024 performance.

I'm not going to explain the reason, so the text doesn't get too long, if you're interested in knowing the reason, just ask about a team and I'll give you my points.

Teams that will improve:
Lev , G2, Kru, NRG and Furia

Teams that will be the same:
C9, EG, MIBR, 100t

Teams that will get worse:
Sentinels and Loud

These predictions are difficult because we don't know what each team's squad will look like for 2025, so don't take them too seriously. It's just an assumption.
