Can they win against this new LOUD form and map pool?
i mean im not tryanna disrespect loud , and they are decent team , but at the same time the competition in their region is so bad , so you cant judge them yet
Highly disagree. They played last masters and beat almost every team. Except Optic, obviously.
So, yea... there's data to judge them already.
"beat almost every team"...
they beat exactly 3 teams at Masters. TL, G2, and OpTic. PRX literally did the same thing except for OpTic.
3/12 does not equal almost every team bruh
also just to add on, i supported LOUD thru that tourney.
to be fair TL wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. I don't blame TL for anything. They played exactly how you'd expect a 4th seed team to play.
I mean, yeah i guess
Im just saying you cant use beating them as an argument for Loud being good (even though I do think Loud is good)
The only top level team they played was Optic
one lan isnt enough imo, bcz with aspas they looked way different and better than the old vikings(maybe the name is wrong), they sure have insane aimers but i cant tell how good they are in compare to other regions , as the br didint give them a competition
braindead take
they shit on every team at masters and even beat optic but just lost rematch
not tryna disrespect team liquid but https://www.vlr.gg/85526/loud-vs-team-liquid-valorant-champions-tour-stage-1-masters-reykjav-k-ubqf
the point your making is completely irrelevent(as i didint bring the team i support to this discussion , you got butthurt by my comment and i didnt even insult loud, i pardon your bad cognitive skills , as what i meant: a team needs to play multiple international lans to completely judge them lol
TL? can't win against LOUD
G0-2? can't win against LOUD
FNC? can't win against NIP and ZETA, imagine against LOUD
LOUD owns EU teams, the only team that can probably stomp them is FPX or GUILD, even Optic won with 2 maps going OT (and LOUD being on match point several times) and the other one was a comeback.
This team litteraly exists since february and already won against tier 1 teams, reached the grand finals of an Masters while being invicted, to lost in the finals with 3 close maps, a team from tier 2 region and 4 months of age (at the time)
You wouldn't have the same energy when your favourite teams main fragger couldn't go
Lnatic sucks and gets carried by Derke to a first round bow out of playoffs
Cope harder bozo, the pride of SHITMEA gets dogged by BR
stop underating Optic and overhyping LOUD geez. Rn, Loud is underdog team compared with Optic. Let alone Fnatic
LMAOOOOOOO
If someone asks you the definition of insanity show them this post
looks like optic can so why not https://www.vlr.gg/85530/loud-vs-optic-gaming-valorant-champions-tour-stage-1-masters-reykjav-k-gf
I think all three of those teams could beat eachother on a given day, they look significantly better than everyone else at the moment
FNC would slap Loud all the way to Brazil, Alfajer by himself is better than Aspas, let alone Derke.
As much as I make fun of NA..atleast both EU and NA have stacked teams meanwhile Brazil is completely dominated by Loud.
You get 2nd one tournament and grow deluded. I am afraid for the Brazillian players future with these expectations.
brazil has multiple international titles in basically all fps games, why would we expect valorant to be different?
yall have multiple titles in games but fell off recently especially in csgo
we need real titles asap in csgo, but you can't say we fell off since 5 out 30 teams on HLTV top 30 are brazilians.
I mean LOUD may have improved but Optic and FNC have also both improved massively. Optic no longer has a permaban map so they have an incredible map pool, and FNC seem so dominant on the maps they are good at.
stfu, u don't even know if your sentence is true
Fnatic didn't even prove theirselves internationally with their new roster
but they have proven to be shitty internationally with their other rosters!
Loud is good and all but they wouldn’t be the favourites in the first place
I think loud will be the dark horses of upcoming masters, EU and NA fans can't really digest the fact someone from other region can also step up like last masters.
not true, always rooting for BR and APAC and they look better every event
glhf except SHITMEA
yeah, but I think apac and drx are really underrated tho
I can see teams like prx,ts and drx upset
from 2nd place last international lan, losing 3 maps really close at grand final to a dark horse kkkkkkkkkkkkkjjj.
go find a job.
Majority support and expect great things from APAC because the fanbase is generally humble about the consistent success they've had (especially PRX, honestly the most likeable team and fanbase imo). Many Brazilian fans have grown delusional over a singular 2nd place, they need a reality check like 2021.
wtf, you didn't even watch a game of LOUD , they will destroy this EMEA ego(again) next tournament.
It’s an exaggeration to act like Loud is so much better like the OP did, There is no way you can affirm loud is better than optic and Fnatic, especially optic since they’re the world champions
Buuuuuut, in the replies we see once again how hurt EMEA’s pride is, y’all are high on copium saying Fnatic is the best team in the world because by no metric you can affirm this, and it is actually obnoxious how they’re using the same arguments of last time “weak region, haven’t proved themselves internationally” when in reality loud has already proven itself internationally, more so than this current Fnatic roster btw
:skull: acend actually won the first ever champions , and all are talking about fnc who got 3-0'd by SEN in masters finals.
irony+based
Vlr is either a 1 or a 10 when it comes to LOUD. Some say it's the best team in the world, other act like it's shit. The reality is that we will only know how well they will pair up to the world in this masters, but i'm optimistic with at least a top 4 spot.
well LLL still look untouchable in their own region. OPTIC show some their weaknesses throughout qualifier. i think OPTIC very capable to beat LLL but next time isnt gonna be 3-0 for sure.
my hot take : we are gonna see Loud on grand final again.
Imagine this thread is still getting bumped
OPTC IGL with COVID still clears the 3rd best team itw
Cry more minor regions (including EMEA) FaZe OPTC owning internationals
too much hype for a team that barely won against a 3 month old team
13x9
14x12
15x13
