for more than half of the year almost every pro was using primordium + rgx was only really popping up a lot at champs
thought i'd compile the current list of vct americas rumours/changes into one big post (kind of like that one person who did the CN transfer news thread). I'll try my best to update it appropriately when i can + i would do the other regions but there's really no major info yet in pacific or emea (not as much as amer at least) and I lowkey have zero knowledge about the CN scene lol

MIBR (the most interesting team so far):
Aspas (duel)
Verno (scan init/igl)
[zekken] (smokes?/duel?)
shyy/cortezia/leaf* (senti)
no clue who fifth is, mazino is a name being thrown around
listed multiple players for senti bc they are all possible options, but it's all rumours at the end of the day
don't be surprised if cortezia just resigns
Fr0d (Head Coach)
Iara (Analyst)
---------------------------------------------
Ascension team: TSM/WU/TSS/ENVY
---------------------------------------------
i don't think nrg will really know how to play against gx's style after playing against only drx and edg. plus gx map pool matches up quite well against nrg's.
im not a fan of either team, but i do feel a tiny bit bad for izu. bro's birthday is tomorrow and he was genuinely the only person on his team in the server half the game
seems like there's very few people on this site who believe in the gx run, so ill join too https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/6515b8d2
you have the right region but wrong team https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/6515b8d2
buzz actually keeps sylvan's birthday on a calendar so he can blame him for losing on his birthday
general discussion? mods eviscerate him
THE SCRIPTED OUTCOME:
FNC 2-0.
13-0 on both maps.
Mako reveals his retirement during the post-match interview. He never wins a trophy. Free1ng is dropped from DRX and doesn't even get a goodbye announcement because he played so badly. Hyunmin leaves the press conference early on after booking a flight back to Seoul, where upon returning announces that he is going to NA. Flashback stays on DRX, where termi, who is still somehow on the team, tries to run him and flicker on double duelist, which unsurprisingly does not work. Flashback then leaves after the 2026 season for Gen.G, while flicker goes back to the academy team. BeYN gets benched again after champs by termi, only to be brought back in 2026 stage 2 as a last-ditch attempt at qualifying at an international. He leaves DRX after the 2026 season too. Estrella is put back into the starting roster in 2026 and manages to one-up urango's performance in 2025, setting a record of having a 0.30 kda over the entire year of competition. He gets benched again following this, but DRX keep him on as an emergency sub until the end of 2026. After everything is said and done, termi is last remaining member of DRX. He finally departs from DRX for T1 the following year after T1 drop Autumn.
change to vietnam flag so we can keep the chain going
drx 2-1 fnc
prx 2-0 g2
th 1-2 mibr
gx 2-1 nrg
im not for the whole pacific best region propaganda but come on its their two best teams. EVERYONE knows that drx will win until they get 5/6th, and prx are prob the best team itw rn
here before g2 hit the same exact performance as last champs
ohne will be so confused it will be hilarious. he has to watch prx and drx with their crazy ass comps
mr falin, egoist, asuna, budimeister
heretics, mibr (coming off of a heater of a game), and gx (who are literally playing with zero expectations) might be worse than fnc in their worst form in a long time, g2 who also don't really look that good, and drx 5-6th merchants. the only bullet you guys actually dodged was prx, which i get, but still. its not easy
i wouldn't say having nrg/gx on your side is good thing
uh... hate to break it to you but you got the hardest match up
why today especially are all these shitty baiters active? where are the actual good baiters
rrq are like one or two player changes away from a deep run. they have the talent, but its too inconsistent. ewok also might need to go but idk
get rid of kushy (how is someone this inconsistent)
get rid of xffero (sorry unc, but there are just younger players with higher ceilings)
they lost to china in toronto and then beat them here? is that not character development?
no if anything rrq should be paying him double and rebuilding around him next year
how come nobody talks about kushy being the most inconsistent player itw when he goes 1/9 one day but goes 9/1 the other game. just keep jemkin monyet and crazyguy (his calling is NOT the issue here) and get rid of the other two for people who can actually provide consistent firepower
but they actually are the korean slayers? they never played t1 or drx at this tournament
honestly blg. their peak in china wasn't as good as rrq tejo merchant performance
blg underperformed massively, but tbh, rrq just looked better in that game than they do here
if talon hadn't gotten obliterated by said trash team than maybe we would've all been spared
different meta my friend, jemkin is a great yoru yet rrq coaches keep not putting him on yoru. aspas is simply a much more consistent player because he's done it for so long
he shows up against good teams regionally. just not on international
ig just make fun of grubinho when he's playing bad by calling him grubhub. literally nothing else to say
you are not brazilian lmao. anything to hate on rendangrq ig
if blg was here this would be an even worse game so ig look at it that way
give it up brodie, no one's falling for the bait with that flair
good post but nothing will beat nrg comms one. shit was a masterpiece
usually in esports you don't let go of 4 players if you aren't going for a budget roster the next year
they just wanted to rebuild a la eg, that's why. eeiu is the hardest player for them to replace value-wise if they go budget next year
the only ppl on this site saying this are like three baiters with 100t flair
lowkey don't know why but im feeling westside champs mvp
