he improved a lot and has a championship and is currently proving he can do it on multiple teams him being shit before 2023 is the only reason he isnt above saadhak

he cant shoot back and this year his igling hasnt been good ive only seen 2 games from this year that have looked good that being lower and grand finals split 1 but he is the most accomplished igl so hes above people who can actually shoot back.

ranked them based on fragging power, the general calling style across all teams, how consistently their reads are right, and accomplishments. obv ive never been on a team so idk how each of their systems work etc so its hard to rank but i did by best.

1. Saadhak
2. Boostio
3. FNS
4. valyn
5. munchkin
6. johnqt
7. Boaster
8. ANGE1
9. MrFalin
10. Redgar

gen g

gen g is gonna take the trophy home not choker rex

union beat m80 last year

for their time yes but this list is based on the best teams we had seen play valorant and 2021 was the caveman era all of those teams flopped in 2022 and showed a lack of adaptation and 2022 a majority of teams were also clueless and they couldnt even beat the other clueless teams. if u think gambit 2021 vs eg 2023 would be a close match idk what to tell you.

drx could be a hm the other teams suck ass good players tho for the most part

-runner
-cender

kicks is good

at least it wasnt a 10-2 lead to eg

number 1 g2 hater spotted

what is it gonna take for people to stop underrating them i genuinely think they could place top 4 and people would still hate

game of thrones
breaking bad
clone wars

my list >

dont forget your father valyn

GenG vs TH

1. GenG (i think the fact that they placed 2nd in their region is gonna help them a lot everyone is gonna be looking at prx which will give them time to increase their playbook and give them time to cook new comps they have insane individuals and they now have the experience of being in a grand final which i think was the biggest reason they lost to sen)
2. TH (they looked really good at madrid with a sub and looked even better recently definitely should have been able to close their game against sentinels but they do struggle in bo5s which is why i dont think they can win)
3. PRX (they play objectively incorrect valorant and rely on their individuals who are better then everyone but also known chokers i dont think this is the event for them but maybe im wrong)
4. 100t (boostios experience i think will carry them far but i dont think they will be able to preform to their best on a international stage)
5. FNC (the fact that they start in playoffs i think will help them a lot but they improved a lot throughout emea playoffs defiantly could see them winning a game or 2)
6. G2 (why people think this team doesn't deserve to be here is beyond me they are a really good team that just struggles to close out games i think that will end up being their downfall)
7. LEV (they defiantly have potential to do better than this but their win con is always aspas drops a nuke against better teams i dont think it will always be viable)
8. EDG (slumped during the regular season but still won china i dont see them being able to beat any team that comes out of swiss)
9. FPX (a bit slept on they have batshit comps that i think will throw off a lot of teams below them and all of them can shoot back)
10. FUT (a bit disappointed by them in the fnatic game i dont really like any of their maps and their comps dont help that either i only see them winning if they aim diff the other team)
11. T1 (beat gen g in a slump and an off day dont really think they are top 3 in pacific their win con is developing an actual good map pool)
12. DRG (easily the worst team here i think their only win con is if vo0kashu drops 60)

if g2 beat 100t here everyone is gonna be in shambles all the doubters will have nothing to say

ii agree idk bout top 4 tho especially not for both

his mechanics are good but he gets so flustered in any uncomfortable situation i think hes gonna get owned internationally but i hope im wrong

valyn will pull through for you just gotta pray for icy

it isnt about whos better at that current moment it rewards the most consistent team throughout the year that didnt already make top 3

spelling police on a vlr thread get a life

fut are chokers. just like us :)

vo0kashu gaming is gonna own you guys in shanghai

unfortunately jonahp started shooting back and valyn diffed aspas so you guys are cooked g2 are gonna win sunset btw

yeah all the matches are bo3 impossible for a tie 4 teams will have a better record then the other 4 teams

champ point distribution if g2 wins sen would still lead which means as long as they get a couple wins in stage 2 they will get 4th seat at least

it works the same as madrid 1-0 teams play other 1-0 teams. 0-1 teams play other 0-1 teams if you go 2-0 or 2-1 you make playoffs

today your a g2 fan if u want to near guarantee your seat at champs

we love gen g over here at g2 why the friendly fire :(

😭😭😭😭

g2 are winning today 5-0 just like yesterday

lev match once again something tells me this isnt a coincidence

im slightly worried but i also dont think either of these teams cared in that last map

gotta be g2 vs lev no?

+jawgemo
-icy
not that icy is bad we just need another guy to close out maps and we are the best team in the game

i have lost all hope in these teams g2 seems way better but jesus both teams throw way too much worried for shanghai

we are choke merchants this should have been a 3-0

i agree he seems panicked at all times in clutches he starts tweaking if they had sayaplayer they are world beaters

oh fuck

uhhh are we worried yet?

net was super inconsistent and leafs duelist playstyle didnt lend well to valyns calling but they do need another guy if icy continues to underperform

💀💀

they are cooked internationally sorry cned fan

genuinely want to know how you hate g2 they have the most admirable mindset and story out of any team plus valyn is the goat
