geng not getting any cheers vs fpx being the obvious crowd favorite just adds to the drama/intrigue of the match for me. maybe objectively/from a player pov it's better if the crowd was unbiased, but i think a biased crowd just adds to the excitement of a match. every round fpx win feels even more crushing for geng, and every round geng win is them literally silencing their haters and proving how good they are. the entire first half felt like a victory lap from fpx, proving all the doubters wrong and crushing a supposed top team in front of the home crowd, and almost the entire second half is just geng putting a stop to that, silencing fpx's home crowd and proving that they really are one of the best teams in the world. it's the first match in my admittedly short time watching competitive valorant i've watched where i've been this invested in the storyline.
