I have them losing in a close series in lower bracket to Ghost
Gaming

honestly idrk, I think that the LB5 it’ll be NYFU vs DZ, and that it’d be close 2-1 (could go either way tbh). Then SEN could get upset though i’m not sure, there could even be a world where Akrew 2-1 them in the RO16, but it’s very dependable honestly. I feel confident enoufh about the Gen.G, they looked insane and JcStani and PureR have been performing incredibly. Honestly if SEN qualified i wouldn’t be incredibly surprised but I personally want a new team to qualify to show SEN they need to improve. And for that the way my bracket panned out it was either NYFU or DZ to do so.

Ghost/EG/Knights/NYFU (idrc but hoping for ghost gaming)

Yeah I agree I think if they had done more mickey mouse tourneys and had more prep time they can be even better, but as of right now I’m honestly content with the team just hoping my main man JcStani gets the respect he deserves 😤.

I’m just glad Kanpeki is finally getting some recognition, i personally think that in order for SEN to be contending for top spots again they need a better smokes player (and IGL). I think if Shahz was switched for someone like idk JcStani who is a good IGL and smokes player that would solve the issue of Sick somewhat underperforming, allow Kanpeki to more easily flex as their agent pool overlapped, and fill in the role of smokes and IGLing. But they could still make it far with this roster if their mentality changes

I hope they don’t just use these two locations the entirety of Valorants time in competitive, but if it means there’s in person viewings and crowds soon I’m hype! Hoping for a NA international LAN soon !!

ohhhhh I get it now thank you!! I was so lost but that’s hype ig!

I feel like I missed something why are teams like BBG.A and NYFU bypassing the first day? Not saying they’re bad or anything I’m honestly hype teams like DarkZero are getting these passes, but I still don’t really see why they get them over other teams? Is it based off of circuit points?

I agree, but also the core of TSM hasn’t changed for months. Subroza is still IGLing and roles haven’t really been swapped out all that much besides the occasional Omen with gMd or skye with Seven. Whereas with 100T Asuna is on a completely new role, and the rest are all either inexperienced or very young. I think with time this 100T roster could do huge things especially after their matches between Knights and Gen.G. Reminder the only team they lost to the whole quali was TSM
