Ok s0m yeah he should have stayed but fns should just become a coach at this point and train another mini fns. His time is up. Fns is basically a dinosaur in the esports world.

For igl, sure. But do you want nrg to get stomped again because it turns into a 4v5? And age clearly doesn't make you better when you reach 30+. His experience is better used to teach others, either through his streams or through coaching new igls.

he got higher in champs than b0tke, so therefore he got closer to a championship

while b0tke been in the scene for 3 years, still no champs trophy. not even close to one.

ilya in tier 1 for one year, his first event was a champs final.

in 5 years, who do u think will achieve more? its a no brainer.

They were never really the best, won 2 Mickey Mouse tournaments with the most basic rat gameplay imaginable and fooled smallbraided forum users into thinking they were real contenders

They literally only lost to 1 team, if losing to loud makes you overrated trash then I guess the entire Americas league is overrated trash. We get that you have some weird parasocial obsession with boaster and derke but you have got to find more creative copes than just calling their wins Mickey Mouse tournaments and saying the same thing anytime someone brings them up. Unless you are in a contest with yessirski to see who can cope and cry more.

I'm just a fan of good Valorant, and b0tster has been holding back EMEA since 2021

Every fraudulent Fnatic roster runs the same lame defaults and rat plays to make up for their skill diff and makes the rest of EMEA afraid to actually play the game

embarrassing and sad to watch, and even more embarrassing that they've been doing the same thing for 3 years and it magically works in the 2 worst events Riot has ever put on and no one catches on

results based analysis when Fnatic wins a for-fun event, but when EG wins Champions and demon1 puts on the greatest international performance seen since TenZ in Iceland nobody is convinced

You cope and cry, actual braindead nerd

Once again the only one coping and crying is you. All you did was just repeat yourself and give 0 rebuttal. FInd new copes beyond Mickey Mouse tournament and rat strats (Which is both just untrue). You only call them the worst events because they won and you know it. You and the EMEA dumbasses use the same braindead copes when the other region wins. Your copes used to be funny now they are just pathetic. Get some creativity going.

bro literally asked for an explaination of why Fnatic isnt the best team

I gave him what he asked for, and for some reason YOU'RE bad about it 😭

Strange kids these days looking for creativity and amusement when I'm giving a genuine answer to the question.

AND if you think me calling LOCK//IN a fluke tournament is a cope and not objective fact, you lose the right to ever speak to me again

You didn't give anything, you just spouted the same braindead copes repeatedly (and will probably reply with the same insults again).
If that is your genuine answer then you really are just a complete idiot who has no understanding of the game.
You lost the right to ever type anything to me again.
Stay Coping Stay Crying.

Fnatic play a very slow default heavy style which obviously works for them most the time but can be exploited by high level teams with similar firepower like loud last year. If Fnatic can add more pace mix ups and maintain all their good qualities from 2023 they’re going to stay number 1 + icebox back and no pearl means their current map pool is better than the champs one but that’ll change throughout the year

Hard to tell if their champ's performance, which was still good, was because of them getting complacent or teams figuring out their playstyle. Fnatic have maps where they're not impossible to beat, i.e., ascent, lotus, and Bind. They're definitely the top candidate this year considering that every other top team of last year, presumably, got weaker. Meanwhile, Fnatic's best map reentered the map pool. There are a lot of dark horses this year, and I can see them challenging Fnatic: sen, lev, loud, and nrg. Hard to say until the season starts.

FNC roster is amazing but they might play bad this year, it all comes down to how much they want to win and how hard they practice.

Anyways i think Derke will carry them to Madrid and Champions

nah their only kryptonite is loud and they lost aspas so it makes them less likely to qualify so meaning fnc will probably win everything
