as a Filipino I still do think INDO is a stronger region than PH. We need another team other than secret to dominate apac.

Based on their performance ever since they joined Team Secret, all their bad performances are when they are not on boot camp. I remember people saying how bad secret was before champions after losing against average teams, they proved everybody wrong getting top 8 in champions. They didn't have a facility until challengers 2 which they are doing really well right now.

DRX (I didn't know their name) - strong team but needs results

Paper Rex - Best Team in APAC
LOUD - Brazil Super Team
OpTic - Best Team in NA
Sentinels - Stream over Scrims

Crazy Racoon - haven't heard since 2021
KRU - no competition in their region
REIGN - I don't know
VersionX - I don't know
Cloud 9 White - best female team NA
Acend - needs roster changes
FNATIC - derke alfajer win Copenhagen
Team Liquid - decent roster without results
Luminosity - I don't know
M3C - greatly affected by the conflict
NRG - can compete for masters spot
The Guard - kinda fell off

ZETA (the japan team) - might be a honeymoon period
ZETA (the Spanish team) - i don't know
NAVI - simple switch
Team Secret - high ceiling, low floor
South Built eSports - can't beat APAC teams
MITH - i don't know
Rex Regnum Qeon - high potential, little experience

one of the worst pickems from play-ins to group stage. Hopefully I will get some right in the playoffs

After starting 1-11 Filipinos still believed in TS. They didn't let us down.

Don't put DRX at the same tier or group as GE and Order.

Sus

OAS WIN 2-0
#OasisSinceDay1

my COPEnhagen prediction

NA: OpTic and Ghost

EMEA: FNATIC, Guild, Liquid

BR: LOUD

LATAM: KRU

BR/LATAM: NIP

KR: DRX

JP: ZETA

APAC: PRX and TS

relocate to APAC and sweep everyone? APAC maybe the 3rd/4th best region. Surely EU/NA > APAC but they will have a hard time qualifying there not just against PRX but against the top 5 of APAC.

I like ZETA but it could be them, I want to be proven wrong on Masters 2.

Ngl I think GE might take this, very close match though

I also believe it's korea but not because DRX is overrated (DRX is really good). It's becasue only DRX (and maybe on sla2ers) are considered t1 in korea. I would say the same with Japan too but I don't see many people overrating Japan. M2 will tell if Japan is really up there with the rest.

1.) PRX
2.) Xerxia
3.) TS
4.) ONIC
5.) Alter Ego / FW

I haven't seen OCE/SA/HKTW so I don't know where to put Order and the rest.

LAZE, OAS, and Fancy are my dark horses.

TS 3 - 1 OAS

Vanilla
Cookies and Cream
Ube (idk it's international name)

yes, they are now fighting for the PH seed.

different ZETA hahaha

PRX is no doubt the best, TS and Thailand teams probably fighting for the 2nd Masters spot.

TSM, I don't care much about Wardell and Subroza but I really like drone. Didn't like TSM much after he was benched.

APAC Servers (Silver Tier)

Singapore and Hong Kong

• does comms
• players are toxic as fuck
• are quite better than tokyo but makes their teammates worse by being toxic

Tokyo

• wholesome people but doesn't comm much even with their own language
• says nice almost after every round win, gives you a morale boost
• are not braindead but does more questionable plays

TSM vs IMT? I think, ascent map where subroza got an ace on subroza. I forgot who the other team was.

Already in the playoffs, idk about envy

135 points so far

I see so many people say Team Secret is the worst in champions. Before the game people are already writing off Team Secret by declaring it would be Brazil vs Acend again. Team Secret has proven the haters wrong and is now the first SEA team to be in the playoffs (Hopefully joined by X10C)

Hopefully Team Secret, it would be huge for the Philippine and SEA Valorant Scene.

Hopefully Team Secret, it would be huge for the Philippine and SEA Valorant Scene.

I still don't get that a very bad mobile moba get so many viewers, there are a lot better mobile mobas out there.

Let's go Secret!!!!

Vikings might be too high, even if they win against Secret I don't think they are better than VS and NV

I think Northeption is/was the best. Idk much about the roster changes in Japan so I'm not sure right now.

I'm having copium right now, even if they lose this series they already proved they belong there

Reyna : ScreaM

1 - Gambit
2 - Liquid
3 - Sentinels
4 - Vision Strikers
5 - Envy
6 - Acend
7 - Cloud 9
8 - Fnatic
9 - KRU
10 - Vivo Keyd
11 - Full Sense
12 - Team Secret
13 - X10
14 - Furia
15 - Crazy Raccoon
16 - Vikings

Envy 2-0 Sentinels
Gambit 3-0 Envy

G2 beat Sentinels
Gambit 13-0 G2

I think C9 and Liquid (Both are from the LCQ and can be considered underdogs).

I hope you're right

not the lakers, was a huge lakers fan years ago (mamba days) but now I find it hard to support the cast right now.

FF 2-0 FF

100T
XSET
C9
FAZE
V1
RISE
GENG
LG

hopefully ppgl

I am assuming PRX not playing seriously and saving strats after their first match.

PRX might be saving strats for LCQ and might not want to play in the finals, Secret vs Zeals PH Copium!
I think it's Secret vs FXG realistically

If I recall correctly finals is on the 10th while LCQ is on the 11th, makes sense not to play the finals.

Possibly berserx?
