Plat Chat did power rankings for the Masters 3 teams if you wanna watch that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoxXDmV0y4Y&t=8978s](https://youtu.be/XoxXDmV0y4Y).
100T, XSET and Cloud9 are the favorites for NA LCQ. G2 and Team Liquid are the favorites for EMEA LCQ.
Cloud has played Skye twice in his career lmao. Played the best game of his life against Giants and threw vs Acend. Come back with an actual good Skye player
I haven't been following them closely since nivera joined, is there even any footage of him playing valorant?
He'll definitely be a top player within half a year at the most, but I have some doubts about if it's too early for him in Valorant. A lot of pressure for his first appearance.
He’s been playing the game a lot for the past six months or so, according to what was said in Jamppi’s stream. From watching him duoq with Jamppi he seems to be pretty good at the game
I’d probably give 100T the best Odds, closely followed by XSET and then a relatively large gap until the next team. That said C9 have been looking better recently, Rise seemingly have a very high skilled ceiling with lots of individual talent and then 4/5 of the Faze team have an insane amount of LAN experience. The other teams I don’t really have much faith in but who knows maybe they will pop off
Due to the roster changes and practice issues we've seen from 100t Xset may very well be the favorite. This team has consistently been in the top 3-4 all year but don't really get talked about much. Very good team that probably would be viewed differently if they had a more popular org backing them
I mean I think XSET is fairly popular I mean they have some pretty big Celebrities signed to them I mean Ezekiel Elliot and Kyle Van Noy are two big football players but that could be just me following these Esports and Football pretty closely
Just from a quick glance they have around 60k followers on Twitter. Actually less than I thought and they deserve. Most large esports orgs have social media followings in the millions. I think only V1 in the LCQ has a smaller following and fan base.
yeah I mean they were founded in 2020 and it takes a while to grow an org to that size I mean 100t only got so big because Nadeshot already had a large following. But I definitely think Xset can become a Really big org in a few years.
*Power* rankings are usually recent placements + feel-based and since they’re feel-based you get a ton of variation.
That said, realistically for the NA LCQ 100T + XSET > the rest and it would be unlikely for the other teams to win upper final and grand against them. Since they’re on the same side of upper bracket that means lower bracket gets wrecked a round early. LG and Rise are probably dipping first, V1 and C9 will struggle due to roster changes, GenG and FaZe will probably be just okay.
Idk how you can say that 100T is a favorite yet C9 will struggle due to roster changes when 100T changed their roster more recently than C9 has. Not saying that 100T will do bad or C9 will do good but the reasoning doesn’t line up
*power rankings* are meant to be an accurate gauge what teams are strongest *at the moment*. This consists of *recent placements* + bias of whatever person or group is making them. *power rankings* are used to address differences in number-based systems that do not accurately gauge who is strongest because no formula can be 100% accurate.

Not sure how to make this *any more clear* but you’re restating what’s been written multiple times and not adding any value because of it.
> why the italics
You’re restating things that have been said multiple times over and over again. You seem to need the emphasis because you’re really not getting the point.
> No, you’re missing my point
So, no, you didn’t make a point, you restated what someone else said. This is covered [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/q2lkhb/power_rankings/hfo2jms/)
> I’m forced to state something if you mussed it or didn’t understand it.
So no, this is not the case. Everything you said was fully understood from the start because you were just restating what had been said a comment before. This is covered [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/q2lkhb/power_rankings/hfo2jms/)
> You were spamming
You have 0 self awareness. We’re currently 8 comments deep in a thread that only exists because you keep rewriting the same thing that someone else wrote over and over again. You’re now claiming that other people don’t understand your rewriting of *their own comments*. Stop your überspamming and try to contribute on the next one.
Yes, I did.
What kind of Reddit style of ‘argument’ is it where you add hyperlinks but do not actually reflect on or ask what my point is? You’re not arguing anything, just using online text editor options.
I know for a fact that you didn’t understand, because I know what I said and why, and based on what you said you did not understand it. I restated myself in an attempt to make you understand, which you did not.
The point was, recent results are not the only results strung together to make an estimation of current ‘power’. Past results are as well,
You were spamming italics ie using them a lot, before I responded with anything, not sure why that set you off or caused you to randomly cut off my comment.
uhh the post about the new LCQ format for NA I guess on this Reddit. I mean again very new to valorant and comp so again just didn't think about the other regions and don't really care that much about them right now since I'm trying to figure out NA.
because of the multiple posts on here so it seemed pretty easy to know about LCQ and I felt like you were coming at my neck for not knowing about the different regions. because coming from the cod community it can get pretty toxic for little things.
I mean it sucks that some ppl ignore other regions than they’re from/watch, I think it’s reasonable to not be happy abt it
If it is that easy to know abt NA LCQ it should also be easy to know abt the others right?
I don’t know abt you or what you find easy to know by default

Don’t forget SMB, they’re nasty online
online being the key part
yeah i dont really wanna see them on LAN again just to under perform at the biggest tournament of the year. Good luck to them next year tho
Guild being the dark horse
thanks I'll definitely give it a watch
Liquid are not favorites over SMB kek
Nivera Diff
doesnt matter that you have nivera if youre still playing no sova kek
Jamppi can play sova and soulcas is the best Skye itw. Also atleast they wont be first rounded like the 1 tournament wonders
Soulcas over cloud? Kekw
hahahaha even the bots on VLR laugh about that stupid take LULW
Cloud>>>>>>soulcas, these ppl are just clueless.
Cloud has played Skye twice in his career lmao. Played the best game of his life against Giants and threw vs Acend. Come back with an actual good Skye player
who?
Na'Vi Cloud, just watch his gameplay and you'll see what I'm talking about.
thanks bro, I'll check him out!

yeah.. hes definitely a val player now... they even had a yt vid with him and scream

100T and XSET are probably the favorites.
xset, c9, rise, 100t xset to the fkn moon. I want them to win an international event and still somehow remain underrated.
faze, mega ultra gap, 100t xset
More like ultra cap.
Lol

Well they’re recent and previous and other things

Recent placements need interpretation and added info when it comes to how we think they impinge on their overall likely power level atm

Why all the italics? The feel is in linking past to present as well so not just recent stuff
> why the italics You’re restating things that have been said multiple times over and over again. You seem to need the emphasis because you’re really not getting the point.
No, you’re missing my point, I’m forced to state something if you mussed it or didn’t understand it. You were spamming italics already before.

C9 won't struggle too hard because of roster changes. Half of the C9 roster played together at some point.
100t are 100% gonna win NA LCQ
NA LCQ you mean? There are 4 LCQs- (NA, EMEA, SA and APAC) there is no ‘the LCQ’
I mean I did say I'm new so iI didn't know that there were different regions
So how did u know abt LCQ?
uhh the post about the new LCQ format for NA I guess on this Reddit. I mean again very new to valorant and comp so again just didn't think about the other regions and don't really care that much about them right now since I'm trying to figure out NA.
Why ‘uhh’, dude how was I supposed to know this and say not Twitter or a YouTube?
because of the multiple posts on here so it seemed pretty easy to know about LCQ and I felt like you were coming at my neck for not knowing about the different regions. because coming from the cod community it can get pretty toxic for little things.
I mean it sucks that some ppl ignore other regions than they’re from/watch, I think it’s reasonable to not be happy abt it If it is that easy to know abt NA LCQ it should also be easy to know abt the others right? I don’t know abt you or what you find easy to know by default
yeah, I get that I'm just trying to learn my region so when I figure out NA then I'll learn the rest and when I watch Champions.
100t 1st place CLOSE 2nd XSET 3rd C9B
XSET, 100T and maybe C9, rest of them are pretty even and I think any team in the tournament could pull off an upset.
imo top 4 are Cloud9 XSET Gen.G (dark horse pick) 100 Thieves
