ns got Rb and T1 is still good despite losing sylvan

idk why i thought trace was better, maybe bc they made it out of grouping in champs last year and thats when i started watching val esports?? i wasnt aware they were that bad

CN: https://www.vlr.gg/509879/cn-tierlist-bc-i-did-the-other-regions/#1

S- EDG (hfmi pickup)
A- WOL, BLG
B- XLG, FPX, TE
C- NOVA, DRG, TEC
D- AG, JDG, TYLOO

if their IGL didn't tilt so easily yeah but I haven't heard anything of how he's working on that

a0t0mn is clueless

fair enough, pretty taxing watching a bad team lose

NS got Rb though

TS not #1 im disappointed </3

S: PRX (miles ahead of everyone else)
A: GENG, NS, T1
B: RRQ, DRX, TALON
C: BOOM, ZETA, TS
D: GE, DFM

PRX
GENG
RRQ/T1
NS
DRX
TALON
BOOM
ZETA
TS
GE
DFM

new hot take NS is better than T1

S tier when IGL isn't tilted

t1 is no longer S tier after losing sylvan, and PRX are the only S tier team in APAC

i didn't make these in any particular order because sorting which c tier team is better than the other is hard (albeit not as hard as it would be for NA)

as requested from my americas tierlist

S- FNC, TL
A- TH, BBL
B- KC, M8, FUT
C- VIT, NAVI
D- KOI, GX, APK

bbl feels kinda high but they beat TL in ewc qualifier and kc looked pretty good through the ewc even if stage 1 was disappointing.

okay

loud was definitely a recency bias pick tbh, they replaced like 3 ppl on their team and lukxo looks amazing

pickems to go with it --> https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/cf586bda

im like horrifically misinformed about NA teams so im gonna put them in a tierlist of what i think and i need to be harshly informed on why im mistaken

S: G2, SEN
A: mibr, KRU, C9
B: 100T, EG, LOUD
C: NRG, 2G
D: FURIA, LEV

isnt that a cold take

oh its the ardiis 1v3 clutch in ot, i knew the clip but not the full game

ppl dont think derke is overrated and the only reason why ppl might think aspas is overrated is because of recency bias bc of his poor performance at masters toronto

can you link the vod?

PRX 2-1 BME

room temp take

i don't think LOUD will have the synergy to win more than one game after dropping over half of their roster

at the very least the NA one is

NA: loud wins more than 1 game

EMEA: TL beats FNC in stage 2 grand finals 3-2

APAC: T1 barely makes champs after losing sylvan and nongshim becomes a top 3 team after getting Rb

CN: FPX return to champs 2024 form with new coach and win stage 2

heretics can't be saved

so relatable :(

lukxo is an insane pull

lmao this aged well

j cole cLOUDs

im currently in school :(

welcome to TH

atg deserved to lose how do u lose two anti-ecos on the same map

no opinion bc arg by itself isnt bad but arg + kru seem to be strangely racist

ik its 4 i remembered TH exists

i can think of about three (or four) different groups that are worse
BR flag + LOUD/mibr
ARG + KRU
USA + SEN
anything with TH

idk if its for sure, but apparently beyn got benched again and flicker got promoted? https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1lluyr1/drx_flicker_getting_promoted_to_drx_main_roster/

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/4bd9342e

did not age well, idk why u would believe in TH to not choke

flair checks out

not anymore since they lost sylvan

maybe since ewc is starting when week two would take place so they have twice the games in week one so they can take a week off of stage 2

hi tanmayy, what are ur thoughts on group d for the ewc?
