The VCT Americas kickoff format has been announced and due to last years rankings, a group of death has been determined with the favourites to win the entire tournament, Leviatan, the most in form team in the league, Sentinels, and the fallen kings, LOUD and 100T.
With the grouping being based off of last year results, some teams have made dramatic changes to their rosters. Especially Evil Geniuses who despite winning Champions in LA, they sold nearly their entire roster and currently are not the favourites to even make it past the group stage against either G2 Esports or KRU Esports.
Sentinels were looking heavy favourites to come in and win it all however with this group stage, it is up in the air as to whether or not they can live up to the standard they have set and can win the group stage.
The Americas are the first region to kick off the start of the 2024 VCT season with the so-called SuperTeam in NRG facing off against FURIA on the 16th of February at 22:00 London time.
The games will be streamed on their YouTube and Twitch channels however, most fans are awaiting the co-stream from streamers such as Tarik, s0m and FNS who have been eagerly awaiting the start of the VCT season.
Coming into the tournament, ideas of who will win are up for debate since most of the rosters are brand new and haven’t seen action. However going off of what has been seen, Sentinels should be favourites to win it all with TenZ playing flex and Zekken as the primary duelist, they are looking very strong despite dropping pANcada to the bench.
