Honestly don't understand how this is even up for debate, FNC are by far the best team of 2023 people saying they aren't because they lost to LOUD twice and placed top 4 are delusional clearly none of u know the meaning of having a target on your back.

Imagine being the best for two tournaments in a row going undefeated in both and also in ur league season (apart from the finals) and still not being called the best team of the year. People seem to underestimate how difficult it is to be the best and stay there for a long period of time, especially with a game like valorant where meta and agents are forever changing and you need to adapt to something new or different every tournament or even game. The bounty on their heads wouldve been gigantic after the last tournaments and that was so obvious with these LOUD games. You can clearly see how much VOD reviewing and time Saadhak and their coaches put into watching how FNATIC plays because believe me if they didn't FNATIC would definitely be in the grand finals or lower finals from the upper bracket.

this didnt have to be so funny

'base level of english', so how are BRAZILIAN reporters meant to ask LOUD questions?
how are KOREAN reporters meant to ask DRX questions?
the fact that these reporters even try to speak english is very respectable because they dont have to

well I didn't make it up I just wasn't told the rest of the story, someone just linked the screenshot of him calling Dgzinn 'cj' and saying that keznit was racist.

idk who ur referring to but noone on EDG was lucky in that round, chichoo wouldve ended the round if cauanzin didnt have the timing of his life and also flashed infront instead of around the corner

theres literally nothing that was done by both EDG and LOUD, luck took over except idk how tuyz got 2 from showers that was definitely a throw

that might be the luckiest round ive ever seen

I used to like him till I saw the clip of him being racist to I think it was dgzinn

no

when they said game of his life i didnt think it was literal

if brazil crowd owned riot

this series just made me realise how much im gonna miss watching jingggg man :(

fair enough with time yes the crowds can get better but I don't think its esports in general. CSGO crowds are crazy whether its EU or Brazil I haven't seen an NA crowd for CS but I don't think it would be that bad. I follow COD too and those crowds are insane no matter where in NA the event is held but ofc the optic major is a step above.
Point being that its a valorant issue unfortunately and I can understand that the game isn't that old to be compared to other esports yet but on this path, it'll eventually fall behind if something isn't done.

if thats the case then my bad but why was brazil and japan still so loud then?

i never said its to entertain the people at home (even though it kinda is). tf is the point in going to an event to not make any noise and hype.
Could you imagine if the whole crowd at a football match or a concert just sat there like fat fucks and did nothing.
The atmosphere is arguably the biggest aspect of any event, if the crowd is dead the event will be dead too.

how does he still look so sexy when hes sick my god

Mako on annual leave bro

is it only me or whenever the desk is about to ask the crowd something I get second hand embarrassment because there is a very high possibility they just get ignored considering how shit every LAN crowd been except tokyo

I am losing braincells the more i come on here. Taking living in the present a little too literal bro

Literally said the answer in his question

Agree with all of them except that DRX beat BLG 2-1 close match tho

100% but i didnt expect we get grouped it was just a matter of which liquid would show up. If it was EMEA playoffs liquid i think we easily get through top seed but if its the one we just saw at tokyo and now champions then we stood no chance. It was never a foregone conclusion as to who would make it through.

thats ur opinion, im pretty sure alot of people would disagree that loud and drx aren't contenders ofc apart from fnc who are on a different level

didn't expect any intelligent response from an NA supporter anyways

why is this even a question? XD

Liquid and Navi got drawn in the same group with also 2 contenders for the entire tournament. Noone had any faith in FUT beating T1 for some reason. Giants have a really good chance of going through. Fnatic are fnatic there not only clear of other EMEA teams, their clear of every other team in the world. Only PRX could give them a good game at present.

XDDDD every fnatic player clears every other player in their roles, there's a reason they win everything

-redgar
-soulcas
-jamppi
+kolda
+trexx
+cloud

mfers in my ranked game are better than soulcas. Hell put me on skye id atleast be able to use my util to help the team

This was way worse than lock in bruh. it looked like they were 5 stacking ranked. It literally looked like they gave up.
NGL ive been defending jamppi and redgar this whole time but fuck me get them all out. Build a team around sayf, nats and try to get trexx, thats a solid core to build around but damn man it was pain

today there were waaaaay more problems than just soulcas

Yessirskiiii

i agree in terms of the moment and also the flicking is better but i think everyone can agree the way sayf played that ace was nothing short of perfect

bro down astronomically metamorphically geographically bad

so wholesome that vlr users can finally agree on something, tarik is below mid when it comes to watching val. TMV and Sliggy clear

2nd best clip of the year.
1st is Sayfs ace against Vitality i think it was

comprende englis amigo

would die laughing if fnatic throw on purpose to let billibilli through just so they can knock out NRG XDD

damn :( he probably wont be the same Jinggg when he comes back

How long will he be gone for military service?

I agree that jamppi is really inconsistent but to say he is mediocre is abit much. On his day, hes one of the best and he showed that when we won EMEA playoffs.
TBH theres not many good igls in EMEA so having redgar is actually really good, hes not amazing at fragging but not many igls are anyways. The best thing Redgar can do is perfect his igling and then work on his mechanics kinda like what boaster is doing now

they can rival them in an eco round but apart from that no

Shao for Soulcas would make liquid top 3 in the world

100% they will shit on lulquid and win champs

Duelist: Derke
Initiator: Leo
Sentinel: Alfajer
Controller: Chronicle
BUT TL STILL WIN CHAMPS NO CAP

Something muting a random ranked player who thinks he's Alfajer and talks shit when Something is top fragging.
HOW COULD HE DO THAT SO IMMATURE OF HIM!!!

was pep the one that was on the pitch. So your trying to say that pep could have a lower league teams midfield and still dominate Europe the way Xavi and Iniesta did. I don't understand how you can watch football and say Xavi and Iniesta did not revolutionise football, there are literal profiles of types of players that were based off of both of their playstyles.
Anytime a young midfielder is coming through anywhere in Europe their always labelled the 'next Iniesta or Xavi' not the next Modric unless their Croatian. That just shows they're a level above.

Iniesta and Xavi clear him, literally revolutionised the way football is played today
