Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Hello everyone, Nuts with you. We have a special guest today, Buster, and we're going to cook some hot takes. We're going to speak about all of the teams that qualified to VCT Masters London.

[00:00:09]>> I'm ready. I'm ready to make the best tier list ever in the history of tier lists.

[00:00:13]>> Two two best IGLs are speaking >> about the >> best tier list. Okay. Okay. That's That's That's a great start. So, we're going to >> both of us together, we'll be unstoppable.

[00:00:23]>> Okay, yeah. So, So, we need to be very smart about what we're going to do So, let's start with the Paper Rex.

[00:00:29]>> Yeah.

[00:00:30]>> I think this is the most obvious. I think this is the This is their time to win another trophy, right?

[00:00:35]>> I believe, yeah. I believe. Put them in top three. I was say I was going to say top 12, but I don't not to.

[00:00:40]>> What is your opinion about them because they had a rough start at the Stage 1?

[00:00:44]>> I think the meta suits them now, you know, with Neon kind of going slightly less out of action, and they weren't really running it anyway. They were more on the Jet height putting something on his comfort rows with Forsaken sometimes filling in on Neon, but other than that, they Yeah, they're they're looking They're looking pretty juicy.

[00:01:01]Individually all on form as well like Jing and stuff is They're all looking great.

[00:01:05]>> Yeah, I agree. I think especially now with the changes to London, I think they have a very good opportunity to just roll everyone there. Let's move to the NRG, then.

[00:01:14]Kiko, I think for them it was very very hard the start of the Stage 1 and the way they qualified also.

[00:01:21]>> I want to go top nine.

[00:01:23]>> I would say so also. I don't think they're going to do very well also here.

[00:01:26]I think they did a very good run in playoffs. I don't think they even lost a map to qualify, but I also think that it's not the best meta for them right now and the way >> No, exactly. Their rows are all over the place. They got Kiko on Jet sometimes and then on other rows. So, I just think Yeah, I think I think they have what it takes to go further than that, but I want to put them top nine just because I'm I'm still I'm still hurt.

[00:01:52]>> Have you seen the that Kiko was playing a duelist and Mada was playing a Harbor?

[00:01:56]I think it was a breeze.

[00:01:57]>> on I'm breeze, yes.

[00:01:59]>> It was. are cooking over there.

[00:02:00]>> Okay, football list.

[00:02:01]>> This one's a top 12 for me.

[00:02:02]>> Yeah, yeah. Even though they had a very good amazing group stage, I think now they slowing down more and more. I think UTJ was also carrying a lot with the clutches he was doing on the matches, so yeah, I think >> I also think the way they play is too inconsistent. So, like they could go top three. They could win the whole event, but it really depends on like how consistent they can be and that the way that they play this the high risks, the the grouping up and that style it just I don't think it's enough to get them through all sorts of different styles of regions and stuff.

[00:02:34]>> Yeah, I agree.

[00:02:34]>> Okay, T 2.

[00:02:35]>> Oh, yeah, your fav he's your he's your your is a number one. They're actually come come some really nice form right now from what I've seen.

[00:02:43]>> If they just show good individual level, they might do very well also this tournament.

[00:02:47]>> Yeah, I think I I think they can. I think they can do it. I feel like China is kind of like in me where they have a hot stage and then they're not so hot stage and I think this Santiago wasn't so hot and I just think they they've got a little bit of fire under their belly and historically they're the team that always makes it to somewhere and puts up big numbers. So, they're the ones I'm believing in. Top six, top three for me for them, but like >> Let's keep them top three for now.

[00:03:09]>> Yeah, yeah, okay.

[00:03:10]>> Let's keep them top three and after that we'll see. You you will start with this Team of say Roma exactly, Vitality.

[00:03:19]>> I'm really not sure like where how far they'll go. I think they're top nine for me because I'm looking at the EMEA teams. I think Heretics is the one that's like can can push it. Maybe I'm down for top six for them cuz they should be putting up numbers. They're a good bunch of team.

[00:03:35]>> If we're rating the Heretics and Vitality, if we're putting them in different ones, I think I'll put Vitality six and Heretics on nine.

[00:03:42]>> Oh, damn.

[00:03:43]>> Because Derke is the the greatest time for him right now to play the duelist role.

[00:03:48]>> Yeah, sure.

[00:03:48]>> Global Esports, okay. I think they might going to do well this tournament and they are the only team who is playing double sentinel also in the world right now. They beat Paper Rex to qualify. I think they got destroyed after unfortunately.

[00:04:00]>> Yeah, they they It's It's a typical case where a team like is trying so hard to qualify that once they qualify they can't win the league cuz they're so happy about qualifying. So, I'm like top 12 top nine for them. I don't think they'll They could upset.

[00:04:12]>> I'm quite interested what you're going to say about XQL and DRX team. Okay, let's give them top nine for now. Okay, XQLG.

[00:04:18]>> XQLG are funny team, bro. They're a team that like they go to these like events with a dominant like regional performance, but when it comes to like playing on international stages they all just they all just play so differently get a bit nervous or something. I remember Raga always says like there's a meme in in China that Raga says like who's the best duelist?

[00:04:38]Do you think you're the best duelist? He goes, "No.

[00:04:40]I think I'm the worst duelist. But there is someone I do believe in and it's Daddy way, Happy way."

[00:04:46]I want to believe in them a little bit more. I want them to get out of groups.

[00:04:50]That's top nine, right?

[00:04:51]>> So, so DRX top nine, yeah.

[00:04:53]>> DRX I want to put below. Not a hater.

[00:04:56]>> Okay, let's keep it here. We can always readjust in the end.

[00:04:59]>> Yeah.

[00:04:59]>> Leviatan, they were doing very good for the whole stage one. They also did very good in the grand final against G2. And I don't think that's a team who is also like dependent on Neon a lot if I'll be honest the way they play.

[00:05:12]>> Yeah, it looks like they're very quite set structure. It's a very owner typical thing.

[00:05:17]And then you just get a bunch of young good kids that can shoot. I think with Neon his his chamber is is different gravy and Spike as well with his duelist entry. Sacy as well with his second duelist on Phoenix. They should change their fracture comp cuz it's garbage.

[00:05:33]And then they're looking actually quite juicy after that. But I believe that they can they can they can bring it back. The game versus G2 is actually hella close that final.

[00:05:41]>> Yeah, it was It was a very long game. I think it's between in three top six if I'll be honest.

[00:05:46]>> I go top six, cuz it's their some of their first international. So, what people don't know is that international is like if you can survive the hotel. If you can survive the hotel, you can win a win an event. And a lot of these players, when they come to a country for the first time, they're going to be in this hotel room majority of the time or in a boot camp area. And it's going to be very draining and it's a lot of time.

[00:06:07]Do DRG first, cuz I think DRG top 12. I think their recent form isn't amazing.

[00:06:12]>> Uh okay. Heretics.

[00:06:14]>> I think I'd I'd put them top six as well.

[00:06:16]>> I still think they should be around top nine. And I think I would just move one of these teams.

[00:06:20]>> So, who would you move down to 12? I think Global have had their run.

[00:06:24]>> But if if we do that, now it's a bit it goes very crazy.

[00:06:28]>> Yeah, cuz I think Full Sense is better than Global, right?

[00:06:31]>> I think Global Esports and XLG is both teams that is a lot depending on individuals performance. Like XLG is a lot like if the players will do well and they're going to feel comfortable. And Global Esports, they do cook a lot of comps. And uh but it's still a lot on individual performance. I think one of them we need to move to top 12, because it's both very too much risk involved.

[00:06:53]>> So, which one we choosing? I think I think let's do Global. I think Global have too many cheesy comps. That it's like it's hard to be super consistent on it.

[00:07:00]>> Hector, it's Buster said that, okay? And I would never you top one.

[00:07:05]But I I agree that one of them it's a lot on the individual performance, if I'll be honest.

[00:07:10]>> Yeah, this is this is like crazy, cuz any of these teams can be top 12, but they can also go to like top nine, top six kind of thing.

[00:07:16]>> But if it's Heretics, so we're saying top six, because I think I agree with top six.

[00:07:21]>> I I think so. I think so. I think Heretics are a team that it really depends on how Kushmar does with the meta.

[00:07:26]>> Now for Full Sense. If I'll be honest, I think I would move Vitality top nine and I'll put Full Sense top six.

[00:07:34]>> Go for it, then.

[00:07:35]Go for it.

[00:07:36]>> Do you agree with that?

[00:07:37]>> Honestly, I think they they're quite even. When it comes to that game, it's going to be a fiesta. And I think maybe how do Vitality pair against like chaos teams? I think it might they might struggle more against like the chaotic style of teams. APAC in general is chaotic and I think to try and call against it is difficult sometimes.

[00:07:53]>> Yeah, okay. So >> I think that Yeah, that's safe.

[00:07:57]>> So let's readjust everyone in the order then how we think it's going to end up.

[00:08:04]>> I think it's looking all right. I think I think there are options. Yeah, I think it's looking all right. I was trying to think NRG, Vitality are very loose in my opinion. They could go up one, they could swap with Heretics, they could swap with FURIA. They could potentially swap with Leviathan, but it really depends on Leviathan perform on the international stage. NRG I think could also go up as well. It's so difficult, isn't it?

[00:08:27]>> Yeah, I think this tournament is like I think it's very hard because there is only few teams that have a system that works for them for a long term already, right? It's like Paper Rex who plays their game, G2 that plays their their play style no matter what. And the rest of the teams, a lot of them is still like fresh. I think this tournament might be the most unpredictable one and all of that can just turn around like >> It's all about form.

[00:08:53]>> Yeah, exactly. But I think top three shouldn't change. The rest of the teams should change, but I think this is will be the most consistent teams throughout the tournament.

[00:09:01]>> I'm down for another EDG run. Maybe maybe not like a full win from them, but a good run of finals and semi-finals.

[00:09:08]I mean, I don't even mind if they win to be fair, but I think I think it'll be kind of cool them winning again, but I'd like them to be a bit closer like get a second place and then come to champs and have another good chance. Instead of just appearing, winning, disappearing, appearing, winning.

[00:09:21]>> I think I think they can do that this time.

[00:09:23]>> But the one team I want to win is probably G2 cuz I feel like they've never won that international. And I think they've been close and stuff and they've had some hard times and they've they've persevered and I think they they're the team in my eyes that deserve it. even though that's not really a thing in esports, deserving a win.

[00:09:41]>> I think they're doing pretty well and consistent for the so long already. I think they won fourth time in a row, right? The NA league. It should be It should be their time.

[00:09:50]>> Yeah, I I think we're done, honestly.
