EG and fnatic are a cut above the rest of the teams

LOUD were being read hard and not playing at their best, this is unfortunately what happens when you're at the forefront of the meta. everyone understands what you do

DRX are extremely shaky and lots of changes are needed. They play very predictably with their site executes and poor midrounding and teams are adapting/countering them. Stax has looked incredibly off from the bubbly and energetic stax we got at champions, hes been more frustrated whenever hes on camera and i feel that hurts the team deeply.

EDG are a legitimate top 8 team in the world. and are insanely fun to watch

Liquid were definitely not title contenders but still a decent team, i knew sayf would be shut down more against international competition yet he still played fairly good. nats turned it up but it wasnt enough

NRGs lack of starpower has been hurting them a lot, though they make up for it in basically every other aspect, this is NRG we are talking about, they are chasing championships. ardiis is arguably the 4th best player on the team, he really needs to step up if NRG wants to win.

PRX confuse the fuck out of me, cgrs despite being put in a tough situation has helped keep them in it. he doesnt deserve the shit hes getting. their success is very heavy on how d4v41 and jingg play. if they dont play well they are done for.

you can use that argument for anyone except the duelist of the team. if your duelist aint getting chances to kill people, then you might not be playing valorant

you wouldnt have to defend keith so much if he was better than the other 3 players on the team. i am not an nrg fan, i watch from outside, have been watching him in emea. i have no bias when judging a player on this team.

Loud need to revert to what was working best. (back to harbor)
Liquid were alot more competitive than I thought, a few mistakes to fix but they could make it far in champs.
Drx.. korean roster shuffle needed asap, the squad seems burnt out.
NRG, I would like to see them prioritise playing split. Double duelist works well for this team.

NRG need a good map as currently they don't have any like EG for example. Whenever they lose a map they never play it in the next 2-3 games which makes it even harder to find your best map.

they need to work on their lotus (stop throwing????? pls) and bind if they wanna win this event. the ardiis sage on bind feels kinda useless and its obvious hes not very comfortable on it. id almost rather just see him on jett

Also I would wait until the fnatic vs eg game to see if eg are genuinely on fnatics level or not as 3 of the 4 teams left all came from fnatics side of the bracket nrg beat liquid and prx beat edg.
while loud genuinely and I’m not kidding looked worse than drx as drx at least put up a fight on a map vs nrg and both maps vs prx and edg destroyed loud but lost to prx also drx was probably the 7th best team in playoffs.
fut lost to them as well so whether eg actually are on the same level is questionable as all the teams fnatic destroyed have not lost a game since and all the teams that eg have played have lost since they played them.
so whether eg are on fnatics level or fnatic are in a league of their own is still a question mark imo.

Tbh the difference between nrg and old optic is that optic had yay at his prime using chamber also at his prime. Yay singlehandedly won them so many rounds. If ardiis was playing like he played on fpx, NRG would be way scarier.

ik if fns can stop the shaky aim and ardiis stop going 1-7 for first kills-first deaths then nrg would be much stronger
