FNC with their half shield buy thought they found something very great but in reality they shot their own foot there LMAO, how can you continue using half shield when opponents clearly are using multiple Phantoms, not a best move to bring this 'strat' KEKW in champs.
Few rounds where FNC could have had a bit advantage if they had full shield.

they probably took this from some tiktok and tried in champs

I assure you half shield was not the reason they lost. So much more to the game. People just looking to nitpick any mistake they can find

You think I'm taking anything away from 100T ? No 100T WON.

You thinking half shield played no role in their loss is kind of sad.

I'm not saying it played no role. I'm saying there were soooo many other factors that played a much more key role in this win, and 25HP is not on top of that list

NRG used this before, but its actually great against Vandals cuz (5 body shots or 1 headshot kill weapon), but once enemies start using Phantoms it won't work anymore, cuz that allows Phantom to kill you in one headshot in long range which is not possible if they had full shields. IDK why Mini went with this strat when clearly 100T are using Phantoms a lot XD.

WDYM it literally makes 1 shot headshot with Phantom long range

Gotta agree with this analysis, even as a Fnatic fan i feel that these factors made the most impact:

1) Derke's weird trap in Art
2) Rounds lost because they kept hitting B-Long without a viper
3) The decision to commit to holding Halls in B
4) Boasters many failed lurks
5) The whiffs (not that many but enough to make a difference)

These were more important factors that contributed to their loss than the shields.

But still tho, why not buy full shields when you can? It's like they were saving money because they were expecting to lose each round.

if you paying attention to detail, that "half shield" strat really cost them some, more important, round
