As i am rolling into Valorant casting, i'm really interested on how the people see the scene in their eyes without any official top10 rankings. So what are your favorite teams that you enjoy watching either from the org or player side.
Thanks for the answers, this will help me out on my research a lot!
Heretics are most viewed for me as i know one of the players there and it seems like they are pretty stacked to be top1 in europe. I don't know if its because they are that good or that they haven't really cracked much against the top 10 teams that much, buti have to give it to them that they look this dominant still. Thank you so much for the answer! :)
Dude ill check that name out. thanks for the pointer! + i see that youre a dice fan and he just got removed from 100T, unlucky for him but good for 100t i think.
Vision Strikers are the only invicted team in valorant plus they dominate the korean scene with an iron fist, they have cracked aims and an amazing and deep strat book
Vorax where pretty dominant in Brazil in the beginning of the game (with Gamelanders, you can see them as the TSM and Sentinels of Brazil), they had some problems in recent times and now they are coming back with a vengeance, with a bit more time they will be back on top
if you had to pick 3 teams based on your liking and potential who would you choose, and would Vision be on that list? I love this thread, i have gotten a lot of amazing feedback, ty man!
Welcome dude :)
Well 3 teams that I would chose are G2( I think you can understand why xd), 100T and yes, Vision Strikers.
G2 with zeek are a more complete team,they just need a little more time to improve
100T with the pickup of Ethan and role changes on the team it will be interesting to see how are they gonna play from now on.
VS are a powerhouse, they are undefeated after all, they are super fun to watch and they are completely cracked
It's gonna be super fun watching LAN's with such amazing teams
Honorable Mention:
I want to see SaW and other portuguese roster succeed too, I want the esports community to grow fast in my country
Haven't seen asian pro scene, but i'm sure they are sick!
Sooo, without asian teams my top looks like this:
1.NiP
2.Sentinels
3.FPX
4.Heretics
5.Envy
6.G2
7.100T
8.Crow crowd(hope these guys will smack cis scene)
9.Liquid(they might be in my top5 but haven't seen them with jampii)
10.OG
Think my top may look strange, but this is my STRANGE opinion!
No its not strange at all, the idea of this is to see what people think without any leader rankings. Thanks soda! I was just about to ask that if you could pick one team from each region who would it be? If you don't follow the asian tournaments just take one from EU and NA! Thank you so much for responding!
FURIA is a "dream team" of young and promising players, the have a pretty good aim and nice tatics, even though the team is only one and half/2 months old.
The top 3 are Heretics, FPX and Envy.
Then we have Fnatic, sentinels, NIP, 100t, G2, Liquid, TSM.
U cant really rank them cause we have only seen First Strike and qualifers as important competitions.
Then u have scenes like shouth america asia and CIS region.
CIS region has shown weak vs top EU competition, cause their best talent are in Eu teams.
The same happens with south america, they valorant lvl is very weak.
Brazil, korea and turkey have "private" qualifiers, so we dont have any type of base to say gameleaders and VS are in top lvl of competition in valorant.
For sure, the pandemic has f*cked up Valorant competitive wise, what has happened is that competitive wise they have created region bubbles, in these bubbles, EU, NA, Korea, etc. There are the skill caps from other games and skill caps from valorant. Its not the same skill cap for every bubble, right now we know for sure, NA has the best Aim skill but macro playing around the match is not their strong side so i think is going to be easy to punish some overpeeks, in the other hand Korea macro wise is very strong but they are going to be able to win consistenly? cause if u cant win aimduels u are going to lose the match even if u have great set ups and macro, so i think they will need a year to get to the real 100%. EU is in the middle of both, we have a very high skill cap cause we are the best region in CSGO by alot, I think their style is going to match up very well vs any region, they have enough macro and skill to counter both opposite styles, i feel like the Heretics, FPX and Fnatic defensive wise are at the top of Valorant, they punish very hard and read the game very well, what could hurt the NA style alot, teams like G2 and Liquid that have a more loose style and execute type of macro got punished very hard by FPX heretics fnatic and Nip
i would say
1 - Team Heretics
2 - FPX
3 - Ninjas in Pyjamas
4 - Sentinels
5 - G2 Esports
6 - Vision Strikers
7 - Envy
8 - Fnatic
9 - Immortals
10 - ABSOLUTE Jupiter
I value CS experience very highly thats why I think EU teams have the upper hand, they have shopwn very good tactics and aim and unlike the asian and BR teams, against players that were proven on other games to a higher level, I want to believe in Strikers and Jupiter but looking at it objectively, they are farming players that in CS were considered amateur at best, they still have a strong eye test but I dont think they can compare to the EU top teams.
I value EU over Na too because of the same reason and also becasue NA teams seem to be more aim reliant and their utility game doesnt seem as structured as heretics, fpx or Nip, i still think that some players can be mechanically superior(Sick, Kemikals, Gengsta, Shot Up, Food, Crashies) but I think EU top 3 has comparable mechanics and better tactics, while G2 probably has straight up better aim and can beat him off mechnaics alone
I love the fact that you brought up eye test and not just raw stats. If you had to describe just based on your eye test, how big is the skill cap between with the top of the list compared to everyone out of the top 3?
Mechanics wise i have to say that all the teams I've picked have shown to have very good mechanical skill, as expected of the early days of any comp FPS, the people with the most natural and already refined skill will rise to the top faster.
The real cut off is probably regarding the strats(how organized the team looks, mid round calls, are the roles fitting for the players, team comps) and Utility Usage, in this regard I think theres a big cut off point from NiP to Sentinels, all the teams below NiP feel very mechanics reliant(with the notable exceptions of vision strikers that has good utility usage, although I think their actual strats are pretty average and rely too much on being way better than the competition AND Envy which feels like the most tactical team in NA, sadly I think Envy's mechanics are some of the less crazy in this top 10) and I think that the way Ange1, lowel and Ex6tence are calling and preparing is probably what is going to become the standard for top teams, with comps and roles that are very defined and consistent in each map, I also think they are the only teams that understand how overrated Duelist characters are and focus more on the utility heavy side of the game by picking very often Breach or Sage instead of a secondary duelist and they haven't moved away from Sentinels, something a lot of the frag heavy teams are doing, showing that they value the info a Cypher can provide and that they know how to use it to the full extent
so judging by the description we talking favorites, not top 10 best teams? ok then.
1. 100T
2. G2
3. Envy
4. Team Liquid
5. Luminosity
6. NIP
7. Immortals
8. Xset
9. Heretics
10. Rollo
if you meant 10 best teams tho', here we go, i have no problem making 2 lists
1. Envy
2. Sentinels
3. Nip
4. Heretics
5. 100T
6. G2
7. Fnatic
8. XSET
9. FPX
10. Luminosity
i don't watch the asian teams so they are not included
