By that logic, NRG is an APAC team because Chet, victor, fns and Som are all of Asian descent.

You retard xD

No one knows.

Teams barely or haven't played.

People are just ranking of name value and past results.

TL haven't even played an official yet and you have them at no.1 lol

He's mostly chill and A lil trash talk never hurt anyone. But ya, insta karma is gorgeous haha

Respect well earned, great team

Victor is a selfless entry player who isn't setup to carry. Your take isn't fair.

"Wait for omega" is EMEA copium.

On paper they're our strongest teams, sure.But Fnatic love to choke. Liquid haven't played an official together yet. I'm only confident in NAVI

The new Talon rookies were great! GG. Bye NA

Best icebox map icebox match I've ever seen. Cya9

hahaha i respect the conviction

A map win. The way they let icebox slip was pretty disappointing.

I don't follow all the VRLs that much. Who are the cracked T2 players that you think could be good in Franchising?

sinful that I missed him out, he can definitely take a spot on most teams. Just forgot about him.

Imagine a world where the distribution of EMEA talent was different. Tell me your ideal rosters/ roast mine

But fnatic are classic chokers. can't trust them until they show some actual results.

And they have the most pressure out of any team in this event, because they built the most stacked roster mankind ever seen. If they fail to perform, they are gonna get Insane amounts of slander

Lmao

Foul

XMS either had the worst 2 series of his life, or is not cut out for tier 1 comp. He was horrific, especially on split

I genuinely thinkEG are overly slept on and could already be a top 8 team here.

Can you confidently name 7 teams here that are almost guaranteed to be better than them?

Meant mibr. Corrected

PRX
MIBR
KOI

KC and heretics I didn't expect much from. But they still fell below my expectations.

I feel that's underestimating EG and Talon a bit much. KOI don't look bad, but as it stands they don't look like top 8 in tourney. At least based on their performance Vs optic.

100% true.

But fnatic and high expectations is a chokefest as we've seen many times.

We also haven't really had any upsets yet in any match, watch liquid secret be the one haha.

Vlr got weirdos, it's all good

Wait where's the cope?

All I see is people of all regions say KC suck and xms is a bot

How is EMEA dealing with this?

We ain't. XD

Not a single upset, sure there was some KOIpium, but every result has gone as expected. Which sucks, but we are not far removed from reality.

Basically old liquid

Thoughts on KC.

Didn't really expect much, but was somehow even more disappointed than I thought possible.

Hard to even judge how good the team is when they're playing some goofy comps and we have screaM forcing kayo.

Maybe he needs more time to get better on the agent, but we have alot of data and past matches that shows us his kayo is mid, and duelists+sage are easily his best agents.

Meddo is mid, not a big improvement over xms

Accurate summary

It's just mind boggling. ScreaM is determined to not play to his strengths. He has countless god tier performances on duelist, but for some reason is back to playing kayo as igl.

This team isn't going anywhere. Bottom half of EMEA for sure

Expected result.

We are getting destroyed lmao

Can't even be mad, enjoy that Pak bro

Reactionary and dumb

genuinely a 1.6 and CSS legend

Hard Agree

I take it you didn't watch KC game yesterday.

Oofh, honestly at this point, NA >>> EMEA shouldn't be a hottake.

The best EMEA teams are carried by CIS players really. How it got like this so quickly after 2021? I do not know.

Fnatic are perrenial chokers, and I do not think that SEN game is free for them at all, though I'd like to see them get a win and play to level we know that squad is capable of.

NAVI and Liquid both solid, but will likely end up knocking each other out.

Probs 2-0 in favour of LOUD
13-6 and 13-7

Balanced take, but not really true. NA is just better at the moment.

We'll see how the rest of the year pans out

Expect the expected with this heretics roster.

Mixwell + Avova have been mid for like 2 years now.
Boo during OGLDN was never able to achieve much.
Zeek and kelowz have high ceilings but aren't consistent.

Shame, but heretics was never anything to get excited about

Ahh of course, champs 2022. I stand corrected

Bro, NA is actually looking decent, what are you worried about?

If EMEA qualifies out of Alpha, that would be surprising.
I got love for KC, but they won ugly yesterday.
Giants looked good, but no conclusions at the moment, DFM is hardly a first rate team.

Damn, accept it guys, PRX are falling off :(

You have brain rot, see a doc

DRX are yet to beat an American team right?
C9 got this probably

If you don't find it odd that a so called valorant coach isn't aware of ANY of EG's players bar Ethan, there's no hope for you.
