They were the most innovating and creative team we've seen play at a world class level. They were doing shit nobody else was doing and they made it work like it was a cheat code. From their introduction and dominance with Odin Lotus, to their excessive and unique roleswapping with Chronicle Leo and Boaster, to their calling being heavily heavily reliant on pure unadulterated team coordination and synergy backed up by their heavy and precise usage of team util without having to rely on stupid ass 20 site fakes or brainless aim duelling heavy gameplay, I can go on.
Even the little things like reintroducing Astra back into the meta on the biggest stages after the execution he received post-2022 or their Yoru Pearl, they were by far the most open minded top team we've had when it came to challenging what we knew of Valorant. I know Potter was having heart attacks whenever FNATIC's sentinel was playing duelist, I know JohnQT was scratching his head watching Boaster call their site hits and win without trying to outsmart the audience themselves by faking and pulling rotations for 90% of their rounds, I know 99% of all teams in Tier 1 since Tokyo were confused as fuck on how untouchable FNATIC'S Haven was with a dead pick like Astra
it was intellectual dominance and it completely disproves any dumbass theory that points towards them being washed in 2024.
