Optic loses final to get more games in?

Optic has lost both grand finals and during iceland they went on to preform better

Any chance that they want to lose grand finals to get more practice?

You gotta lose to win what can I say

sometimes you just don't win. That being said either this backfires Optic to play through group stage or benefits them to make a deep run or perhaps going back to back

Personally I wouldn’t want to lose 18k but that’s me personally ofc

optic challengers curse (never first)

I believe in OpTic, failure is key to success, and it's a success when you learn from that failure. OpTic is a hard-working team so I expect them to perform if the players are doing good. When I got covid, every time I made contact with my monitor my eyes started burning and last yr I went from immortal to diamond when I had covid, it just doesn't affect my eyes but a lot of other stuff.

I mean they had Covid this time so I feel like that’s a fair excuse

Nah they were definitely trying to win, XSET just played well and beat them. However I'd imagine since half their players have COVID they probably didn't prep for the game, and since XSET were guaranteed champions with that win they were definitely antistratting and VOD watching hard for that game.

hopefully before they play in groups, they recover and feel much better than they did in stage 2 playoffs.

they tried for sure, but you can try while also being sick. But I agree this loss could either backfire Optic of having to play groups or make a deep run again

they want to meet XERXIA haha

People are so dumb when talking about anything valorant its crazy
they switch up so fast when the narrative suits them. Imagine this thread but change it with sen and imagine the amount of hate from optic fans calling them bad
