He's hit or miss for me.
Like some songs feel like they could be a shit post whereas with other songs you can hear how it impacted the sound.
I like this one quite alot though.

I ranked the teams based mainly on achievement.
Of course a team from 2023 would beat a team from 2021, you don't really need to explain that.
FNC 2023
NV/OPTIC 2021-2022
GAMBIT 2021
LOUD 2022
EG 2023
FPX 2022
-
PRX 2023
LOUD 2023
EDG 2022-2023
Can't really judge 2024 PRX off of a couple of meaningless off//season events.

Pretty smart.
This MYSG roster would be a contender for ascension.
Being able to use bleeds facilities is a big bonus.
Bleed get to continue developing the region.
Honestly it could be DSG becoming an affiliate team for Bleed.
Yay will probably just be in the announcement video.
Every recent SA import seems to come through that GR Agency.
They have signed/represented DOS9 , ARDNKING , LBY, SEVERINE, FROSTMIND, 7SSK7, ANQ.
damn Boaster my multilingual king.
But yeah getting a slice of that french fanbase would be nice.
France arguably has the best fanbases in esports.
Yeah it's pretty incredible how many top level fps players hail from Russia.
Especially in cs, there is a very good support system in place.
A lot of orgs investing and many orgs have academies.
The likes of new talents like donk + shiro + monesy all emerging from that system.
In valorant with the CIS league being removed it has sorta stumped the growth of new talent in the region.
Although this year we have seen so "newer" faces like vo0kashu, jemkin and something shine in their new opportunities in asia.
Leo Faria using the "we are listening to the fans" gimmick like a bar of soap.
Surely they can't allow that Group A in emea to happen..
Seeding based on 2023 performances with rosters that have changed players and coaches.
I can see a lot of "upsets" happening.
Wow this is cool.
NDAPR is something i've been wanting for a long time.
With the true-first kills are you using a trade window, as in a kill that isnt traded after X amount of seconds?
Personally, I don't think off//season events hold much weight.
So many things can change between the events and the VCT season, including major meta shifts.
A lot of the off//season events also include odd formats which we would never see in VCT.
(Best of Ones as an example)
I just see them as something fun to watch, like a more professional/organised showmatch.
Demon1 has the potential to be the best player of all time, I agree.
In 2024, with his Champs MVP, he is the best player at the moment.
Will he be the best player in the future? We cannot be certain.
It has been a meteoric rise for the 21 year old however he needs to sustain this success.
Yay had arguably the best year for a valorant pro of all time however due to what happened in the following year, he's not remembered as fondly.
If FNC have another great year and Alfajer racks up a few more MVP's then Alfajer would be the furthest ahead in the trajectory of becoming the goat.
lovers rock vs wanzeru
very interesting matchup
Probably because GoNext has a polish core.
Horrendous take + Drake is literally Canadian.
Investing in MYSG is pretty smart.
The league should be open for the taken this year with Bleed ascending + Enigma disbanding.
and honestly the roster is very good, could be a strong contender for ascension.
No shame in losing to this oxygen super team.
Each tier isn't ordered (i'm lazy)
This is roughly how I feel about each team.
I don't have much faith in these chinese teams at the moment.
It's the perfect mix of cracked kids, the overspill of tier 1 talent that leaks into tier 2 and the accessibility of high level scrims.
It just needs a constant level of org support and the orgs above being willing to embrace the next generation.
Shao over Less in 2022, then we almost have a list of the 3 MVP's for the year.
Hopefully that YFP roster can make challengers cause I wanna see Bones in Tier 2 man.
I completely forgot about mada.
His time in SR in 2023 warped my perception on him, cause he was on a flex role the whole year and he didn't perform as well.
I watched almost no valorant in the off//season so I can't really comment on how good he is back on duelist now but I remember his raze was always pretty solid.
Well it feels like (in tier 2 NA) its between him and koala.
The harsh beauty of tier 2 is that none of this matters until the ascension event.
I think you may be over rating some of the chinese teams.
BLG have looked very shaky since champions.
EDG are still not title contenders.
Boostio working with Zikz + mikes has high potential.
Hard to tell how influential Zikz was in EG's success but by the fact he was picked up quickly seems very promising.
Everyone always talks about mikes being one of the hardest workers in the scene. Having him work alongside someone may be beneficial in utilising him to the fullest.
EMEA: Slow and methodical
APAC: Fast and explosive.
CHINA: Unpredictable and wild.
AMERICAS: ?? So many different playstyles, probably due to merging the regions.
It wasn't an "era"
but they were still an exceptional team and is in the conversation for the best valorant team of all time.
11 team swiss with 2 teams progressing is a disaster waiting to happen.
Both FURIA and FUT have dropped out.
With Apeks and BBL coming in as the replacement invites.
The 4 teams are now:
It was also due to the fact OW had 4 core game modes.
(escort, assault, control and hybrid)
Oh yeah pl1xx is heavily linked to wolves.
He's also been teasing it:

There is a rumour that pl1xx is signing for Wolves.
Imo that is a pretty good pick up for that roster.
GuanG is signing for Nova.
In terms of Chinese regional players that is a solid pickup.
Masters Madrid will have 8 teams, 2 from each VCT league.
Shanghai will have 12 teams, 3 from each VCT league.
damn what a roster.
On paper one of the most stacked teams arguably ever.
why am i even talking about this.
such a waste of time
