I think it's interesting that you decided to post a thread to insult a group of people who have devoted their career to learning as much as they can about Valorant and sharing their knowledge with a broad audience in a way that is interesting and engaging.

Analysts spend endless hours reviewing VODs from teams not only in their region, but all around the world, in order to inform themselves on the state of the meta, overall team strategies/sets, and the strengths and weaknesses of individual players.

I'm struggling to understand what possessed you to claim that they have no idea what they're talking about. Personally, I find the analyst desk to be a source of thought-provoking discussion, and they often help me to conceptualize a match that I just watched in different, interesting way.

Sentinels is indisputably the best team in the world right now, so 100T are obviously the underdogs.

What I want to see from this series is competitive and interesting gameplay. The stakes - besides the prize pool - are low, and both teams will likely be "saving strats" for Berlin, but I think it would be phenomenal for the narrative to see 100T take this to 5 maps, or even to win.

This is their first 5 game series against each other, so I'm really excited to see what each side brings today.

Prediction: SEN 3-2 100T
