Only teams in history to participate in 3 international championship finals.
Best rivalry we'll ever see.
Title: LOUD and OPTIC
if LOUD win this tournament, then their match against nrg kind of implies that they didn't deserve to get 5th-8th because of how close the series was and they were definitely top 4 material. just got fucked by fact the bracket put the best 2 teams itw against each other in quarterfinals
dont even try to say EMEA hasn't been shitting on Brazil (and LATAM but a little less) since the start of valorant up until 5 months ago, when LOUD won champs. even immediately after their win, EMEA fans kept calling it a fluke victory yet NA was happy for brazil even though we lost. Now, EMEA fans are cheering on Brazil as a way to shit on NA, saying we're being carried by Brazil. deep down, EMEA fans hate Americas as a whole and see Brazil as a lesser of two evils. Real LATAM and BR fans accept that they're in the same region as NA now, and we'll all get stronger together during the regular season because we're the strongest region.
there is no weak link in the Americas, enjoy your 3 international wins from the past
