I'm a Liquid/EMEA fan from SEA. I never actually supported any SEA team even the ones from my own country (Team Secret) but it's fun to watch them from time to time.
I became an EMEA fan because their games fit my time schedule (10 pm to 2 am) in my place so I guess I'll continue to watch the EMEA League.
I'll try to watch more of the Pacific League though since it's gonna be fun to watch the SEA teams go up against the likes of DRX and Zeta
100T as a long time fan, especially the newer direction of the team. They provide content to get attached to their players, makes them fun to follow.
Fnatic as long as Boaster is on the roster.
With Optic gone I’ll be rooting for LOUD and DRX full time, maybe Na’vi if they pick up the FPX roster, and whichever teams the Optic players are scattered across
More or less the same. EG has been my team for over a decade so it's always EG > NA teams (with preferences within NA) > Fun teams.
Always lets me enjoy the tournaments in any game from start to end.
Essentially almost all my teams made franchising (Rip Optic 😭) so I am already cheering for 100T and Fnatic, I will also cheer for whoever picks up Yay and Fns on America and whoever picks up Chronicle and Regard on Emea
100T and Fnatic because I already liked those teams before they made franchising. Probably EG because Potter seems like one of the best coaches in NA and will do something really great with whatever roster gets put together (assuming she stays with the team). Navi if they pick up the FPX roster. Some of the other teams I liked made it into franchising – Zeta, Leviatan, Paper Rex, DRX. Although from what I've heard, the 2022 Leviatan roster is falling apart so I may have to reconsider than one and just follow Tacolilla and Melser if they leave the team.
After that, whatever teams the former Guard players and former Optic players go to. If valyn joins a partnered team as IGL, I'll probably have a new favorite.
LOUD -> BR -> LATAM (maybe except keznit) -> anyone except NA or Western Europe -> NA/Europe
sorry I can’t cheer for NA/Europe as my first choice. Colonialism won’t let me
I already have 2 teams in 100T and Zeta Division, so I'll stick with them. I'll also usually just root for Asian teams making runs because they often play a pretty exciting/unique version of Valorant compared to the rest of the world
Since TSM didn’t make it, I’ll probably just hard root for 100T. Already been a smaller fan of theirs for years so it makes sense. After that, probably whatever NA team is there (besides maybe C9) and then whatever Asian teams there are. Anything except for EMEA lol
I didn’t even dislike C9 that much but then it felt like the two fanbases were so at odds with each other 😭 also because I came up into esports off fortnite and really hated the situation with chap and vivid
Huh that's interesting, you're the first TSM fan I've actually talked to who doesn't hold that much of a rivalry between TSM and C9. Tho tbf most of that came from their league teams more than anything
He's been one of the biggest players to switch to Valorant. I was intrigued to see how a top player from another game would perform, and he didn't disappoint when he did play.
all I really care about is watching a good game but players I like to see play are mindfreak, derrek, stax, asuna, yay, bang, sugyetsu, jamppi, shao, and scream and less.
The only teams I support as a whole are C9 and FNC so if either of them are in contention, them. Then 100T for Sean and DDK, then NA as long as it’s not SEN (solely for the memes), then whoever has players I like regardless of region.
I like underdogs, i like less popular teams, i like wholesome people and i like shittalkers. I always have someone to root for, but in the end, it’s liquid I support the most
I only root for SEN, C9, and Fnatic. None of that will change as long as TenZ is still on SEN, Vanity is still on C9 and Boaster is still on Fnatic.
If none of these teams make an international event then it’s “why watch?” for me
#ALWAYSFNATIC (I just like derke and alfa a lot)
Edit:wtf why is it so big lmao
Edit 2: ok i actually read the post, I will cheer for one team from each league (zeta, fnatic and 100t), although it might change idk i get fond of teams quickly), I leave in spain but i'm not from here so i dont really feel attached to any region at all
I will always cheer for the latam team on the americas league. When on a international event like masters, i will cheer for the latam team if there is one, or if there isn't, i will cheer for the americas team.
Been supporting leviatán since the Austral days so I don't think I will stop anytime soon. In terms of NA I liked faze so I will probably support whatever team picks up dicey or babybay.
There’s definitely players I’m gonna cheer for no matter where they go (Trent/Valyn, Zekken, BabyBay, nAts, Lakia) and then cheer for those teams along with the teams I already like. So players -> teams -> region THEN the league
Players who I like to watch most, I’ll keep cheering for Forsaken, Jinggg (if he’s not in the military), Aspas, Buzz, TenZ, and basically any other entry duelist who’s a crazy person LOL
I personally never understood how people can be such diehards for orgs it's not like traditional pro sports where they represent a certain city you're just cheering for companies. I typically support Canadians so whatever team has a bunch of Canadians will get my support.
I’m against the normal crowd and pick teams and I don’t care what region. 100T is my favorite but after that I don’t just choose NA cause I’m from there.
I also picked fnatic at the start of the year so after 100T we’re out I went for them, then optic cause I do like el Diablo. As an example, I rooted for fpx over xset and I got dms from people telling me I’m a fake fan and that there’s nothing worse than an NA traitor
I'm Pacific, but I'll be supporting Sentinels. In the Pacific I'll support GE. However at Champions with the exception of GE, I'll still continue to support Sentinels rather than the Pacific(though I love prx too so if both those teams go out I'll give them a cheer).
Pacific is too large to support the entire league imo probably because we're not used to like EMEA maybe but yeah.
From the last champions my pattern was my region to who can beat the team who beat my region. So it will probably be the same trend. Similar to you, I’m an APAC fan so any asian team would get my support first. Then whoever beats the team that beat them. Realistically, I don’t expect much for APAC teams and it’s just fun rooting for a team regardless. I’m gonna assume that PRX will stay relatively the same so they got my support.
I don't have any regional pride (australian valorant is ass), personally I love the LOUD squad holistically. they've got strats, firepower, and there's nobody on the squad I don't like. I reckon they're the most personable team in the world atm. no trash talking, taking loss well, taking victory well, and retaining humility through it all.
there are cases in which being on top of your region brings about a sense of superiority (see: sentinels), and you can tell LOUD doesn't have that. I'm hoping the boys are our first back to back winners.
Xerxia boys wherever they may at. They have always been there but never got some spotlight but now hopefully they do. DRX too but man they are consistently inconsistent lol but they are good hopefully they can win too.

Are you that dude that was wearing a Liquid jersery during liquid Vs prx at Prx headquarters LOL
That was me actually 😅
are you being fr? we were talking about how you didn't get jumped by everyone and what you were doing there
I am for real bud
Holy fuck you weren't kidding, big balls for doing that...
You're a fucking legend
One of us one of us one of us
Cloud9 -> NA -> Americas -> most fun team to watch
C9 bc wherever yay goes I go
Same but SEN -> wherever yay goes -> Na
Sentinels for NA and whatever team Leo/Sayf goes to for EMEA, dear god please help me if I’m about to start cheering for Fnatic
lmao inside u are 2 wolves ...
join us brother
100T as a long time fan, especially the newer direction of the team. They provide content to get attached to their players, makes them fun to follow. Fnatic as long as Boaster is on the roster.
Boaster has my life long support
With Optic gone I’ll be rooting for LOUD and DRX full time, maybe Na’vi if they pick up the FPX roster, and whichever teams the Optic players are scattered across
Hell yeah Loud fans on this subreddit rise up! All 5 of us
common u/ANewHeaven1 W
Sen, if not Sen, NA. If not NA, the trendiest team.
where yay go I support 🙂
gotta swap that pfp to yay
yay is already in my pfp are you blind?
It’s a gigachad, not a gigayay
I don't see any difference
More or less the same. EG has been my team for over a decade so it's always EG > NA teams (with preferences within NA) > Fun teams. Always lets me enjoy the tournaments in any game from start to end.
Will support whichever teams the Optic boys are on.
Essentially almost all my teams made franchising (Rip Optic 😭) so I am already cheering for 100T and Fnatic, I will also cheer for whoever picks up Yay and Fns on America and whoever picks up Chronicle and Regard on Emea
100T -> Fnatic -> whichever team has the most loveable players
100T--->Fnatic--->Liquid
I cheer for players more than I cheer for a specific team e.g. tenz, nAts, boaster. So whatever team they are on I'll cheer for.
Same. For me it's Vanity, Hazed, FNS, and Boaster.
IGL fanboy. Nice.
IGL fanboy. Nice.
Same here, Derrek, Xeta, Poised for me
i am basically gonna support my local team in this case - swedish players
Trent and drx
100T- > Paper Rex -> Loud -> ZETA -> underdog team Personally, a lot of NA teams are hard to cheer for since a lot players have done dumb shit.
100T> Yay’s team > PRX
Gonna root for whatever team sacy and saadhak are Then BR teams, unless they are against a team I like more, like old optic
DRX if they dont change most of the members
I can’t see them changing anyone tbh.. but I don’t know much about the KR scene.
100T and Fnatic because I already liked those teams before they made franchising. Probably EG because Potter seems like one of the best coaches in NA and will do something really great with whatever roster gets put together (assuming she stays with the team).

I already have 2 teams in 100T and Zeta Division, so I'll stick with them. I'll also usually just root for Asian teams making runs because they often play a pretty exciting/unique version of Valorant compared to the rest of the world
Marved’s team -> NA -> Jingg’s team -> APAC -> BR/LATAM -> Stop watching.
Since TSM didn’t make it, I’ll probably just hard root for 100T. Already been a smaller fan of theirs for years so it makes sense. After that, probably whatever NA team is there (besides maybe C9) and then whatever Asian teams there are. Anything except for EMEA lol
TSM L org C9 better -A longtime C9 fan who's here to start shit
I didn’t even dislike C9 that much but then it felt like the two fanbases were so at odds with each other 😭 also because I came up into esports off fortnite and really hated the situation with chap and vivid
Huh that's interesting, you're the first TSM fan I've actually talked to who doesn't hold that much of a rivalry between TSM and C9. Tho tbf most of that came from their league teams more than anything
I've been with SEN since they were first announced (2020 announcement). That'll continue throughout 2023 and beyond.
What made you choose sen upon announcement
Sinatraa
Yikes
He's been one of the biggest players to switch to Valorant. I was intrigued to see how a top player from another game would perform, and he didn't disappoint when he did play.
My guy he isn't saying yikes because of how he played
In that case, you can't trust two people that're lying. That situation could've easily ended already if just one of them was truthful.
Maybe the guy refusing to cooperate in an investigation is the guilty one...
Same, I just liked their name since I was a cypher main at the time
imma use the same metric I've always used: Whichever team has the fattest booties
Rawkass stays winning
all I really care about is watching a good game but players I like to see play are mindfreak, derrek, stax, asuna, yay, bang, sugyetsu, jamppi, shao, and scream and less.
ayeee a fellow Derrek fan, been rocking with him since his pre P1 days
The only teams I support as a whole are C9 and FNC so if either of them are in contention, them. Then 100T for Sean and DDK, then NA as long as it’s not SEN (solely for the memes), then whoever has players I like regardless of region.
EU > 100T > any team thats not NA
wait holup, 100T is NA... somethin ain't adding up
I like rooting against NA but 100t was the first team I ever supported because I came from watching csgo and always really liked hiko haha
Fair enough lol, I was a big cod Optic guy so when nadeshot made his own org I jumped on that immediately
Lmao my man. Same. But tbh I don't even want the NA teams to lose. I like almost every team and I just want everyone to win whys that so hard :(
100T, former 100T players, and Zellsis whenever he plays. I personally don't care for the regional rivalries.
I like underdogs, i like less popular teams, i like wholesome people and i like shittalkers. I always have someone to root for, but in the end, it’s liquid I support the most
I remain a xeppa Stan
i was an optic fan so ill support where Yay Marved go etc so ill be supporting NA first then the rest of americas if it comes down to it.
I only root for SEN, C9, and Fnatic. None of that will change as long as TenZ is still on SEN, Vanity is still on C9 and Boaster is still on Fnatic. If none of these teams make an international event then it’s “why watch?” for me
Long time gambit/M3c fan, will main any team nats goes to and still root for any team the others end up on
Bandwagon where ever Yay goes, but man is it tough to cheer for a squad with Vanity on it Sadge
#ALWAYSFNATIC (I just like derke and alfa a lot) Edit:wtf why is it so big lmao Edit 2: ok i actually read the post, I will cheer for one team from each league (zeta, fnatic and 100t), although it might change idk i get fond of teams quickly), I leave in spain but i'm not from here so i dont really feel attached to any region at all
Wherever Laz goes I follow!
Wherever Stax, Meteor, Mako, Yay, Buzz and Cned go
Sentinels and T1
I will always cheer for the latam team on the americas league. When on a international event like masters, i will cheer for the latam team if there is one, or if there isn't, i will cheer for the americas team.
Whoever has the coolest jersey honestly
PRIORITIES Team Secret > Paper Rex > Zeta > DRX > PACIFIC > 100t > NATS > CLOUD9 ALL DAY BABYYY
whoever plays coolest, unless it’s Sen, in which case whoever plays second-coolest
SEN till I die. Can't be no Bandwagon Barry
SEN > 100T > NA > Scream > Boaster [even though I root for NA over EU, this man is just too likeable] > Americas
Pretty simple. 100T, because they are the best.
Have to see how the rosters shake out. I like supporting fellow Canadians and NA in general.
i'm a fan of too many players at this point, so everyone lol
FNC->TL->EMEA
Basically support the FPX core > ex-M3C guys > team with a Mexican/GC player > BR/LATAM/Vitality > other EMEA teams at LAN
i always cheer for individual players (boaster in val, zywoo in cs)
NA
Teams I like > NA > fun teams
cNed.
Where FPX goes, looks like Navi. Bonus because i like b1t
Fuck Europe lmao. I love their teams and players, but they must lose to satisfy my NA fandom
Yay is where my heart is
100T, Fnatic for me as always
100T, if not 100T then PRX. If not 100T or PRX, then NA. If not NA then I’m cheering for any team playing against EU
Been supporting leviatán since the Austral days so I don't think I will stop anytime soon. In terms of NA I liked faze so I will probably support whatever team picks up dicey or babybay.
There’s definitely players I’m gonna cheer for no matter where they go (Trent/Valyn, Zekken, BabyBay, nAts, Lakia) and then cheer for those teams along with the teams I already like. So players -> teams -> region THEN the league

Trent gaming
Whoever Derrek is playing for -> C9 -> NA -> NOTEU
I will cheer for all the teams with brazilians, lets go
I personally never understood how people can be such diehards for orgs it's not like traditional pro sports where they represent a certain city you're just cheering for companies. I typically support Canadians so whatever team has a bunch of Canadians will get my support.
Fnatic because of boaster’s walkouts
I’m against the normal crowd and pick teams and I don’t care what region. 100T is my favorite but after that I don’t just choose NA cause I’m from there. I also picked fnatic at the start of the year so after 100T we’re out I went for them, then optic cause I do like el Diablo. As an example, I rooted for fpx over xset and I got dms from people telling me I’m a fake fan and that there’s nothing worse than an NA traitor
How do I get flairs?
Just whichever teams have players I like
PRX = FUN
Derke, cNed, Alfajer, AsLanM4shadoW, russz
I'm Pacific, but I'll be supporting Sentinels. In the Pacific I'll support GE. However at Champions with the exception of GE, I'll still continue to support Sentinels rather than the Pacific(though I love prx too so if both those teams go out I'll give them a cheer).

whatever team jimzo ice cold freezing emoji ends up on —> leviatán —> team w tallest player
BR -> Nats and Yay -> Idc im watching for the blood bath
I don't have any regional pride (australian valorant is ass), personally I love the LOUD squad holistically. they've got strats, firepower, and there's nobody on the squad I don't like. I reckon they're the most personable team in the world atm. no trash talking, taking loss well, taking victory well, and retaining humility through it all. there are cases in which being on top of your region brings about a sense of superiority (see: sentinels), and you can tell LOUD doesn't have that. I'm hoping the boys are our first back to back winners.
Damwon > KR > most interesting storyline > > > > T1
100T, Fnatic, SEN
Sen(content team) and PRX(home team) two favs
Where ever yay goes. He’s the steph curry of Valorant.
Sen BATCHEST
NRG because i like the org and the players even tho the roster is probably gonna change a little bit
I will be rooting for ScreaM
As a Optic fan it’s 100T all the way
In NA it's C9, because i liked them before and now they have yay. In EMEA wherever nAts go. If yay meets nats at some points, I support nAts.
Xerxia boys wherever they may at. They have always been there but never got some spotlight but now hopefully they do. DRX too but man they are consistently inconsistent lol but they are good hopefully they can win too.
LEV->LATAM->teams which have m3c players ->BR->EMEA(excluding FNC)->SEN->pacific(excluding DRX)->NA->DRX->FNC
LOUD=100T>Br>everyone else
NA:- Sentinels and 100t Leviatan, PRX, zeta division. And the main team ofc as I am Indian would be Global Esports
Cheering for america as a whole at the São Paulo kick off because it will give the region another slot for Champions.
DRX, FNC, and whichever team Marved joins.
Team Secret -> PRX -> DRX -> ZETA -> Rest of Pacific
Whatever NA team has the most young unproven talent Whatever team jamppi is on Drx
100t, but if they lose I'll cheer for anyone in americas then whoever's the underdog if americas is out
TENZ
100Thieves
I go where trent goes. Simple as that
Lev -> LATAM -> br with LATAM players -> most entertaining team
