sinatraa would be flex, sick playing smokes other than viper, shahzam will probably play sova/any other initiator, tenz will mainly play jett/chamber (yay's role on optic now), and dapr playing sentinels/viper. It makes sense since sinatraa has been playing a lot of kay/o on stream and sick has been playing smokes in ranked as well.

They got 50.8m dollars investment from Asia Venture Capital

Well knights won 20 games in a row in ascent before losing to V1, so you can't really blame them from dropping the map

I think you can sort based on KAST, high KAST usually means high impact in CSGO

it is reported that nitr0 himself is considering while stewie tweeted csgo > valorant LOL

but maybe vanity can qualify although V1 won't if the new C9 does well

either navi or gambit, they are the most consistent teams, the EU teams all are inconsistent, but still hoping on liquid to finally winning major

Ok

x10 lost againts vikings in Iceland btw, I think Japan is worse than Brazil. Brazil also showed an insane fight againts NV last game. Personally I think the rank of region based on Berlin and Iceland now is

1. NA
2. EMEA/Korea
3. EMEA/Korea
4. LATAM/Brazil/SEA
5. LATAM/Brazil/SEA
6. LATAM/Brazil/SEA
7. Japan

Cannot really judge EMEA and Korea because G2 beat F4Q but VS won against ACE. Fnatic also beat Nuturn in Iceland so probably only VS is above EMEA teams atm. LATAM Brazil and SEA also showed that they can beat japan but not top region teams such as NA EMEA or Korea

It should be different as they have 16 teams for Berlin, prob group stage format and NA/EU teams will crush whoever is in their group since same region would not be in the same group

no xset player at all? they just finished second in challengers 1 and one of the favorites to represent NA in Berlin
