Will we ever see a treble win in valorant? all 3 events won by 1 team
No I don’t think so
If Fnatic couldn’t do it with a top 2 duelist oat, a top 1 flex oat, a top 3 senti oat, a top 1/2 initiator oat and a designated igl then I don’t think any team ever will
But Fnatic should have been better in 23, at champs they just never made a pearl comp which made their map pool predictable and chronicle had the worst tournament of his life
Permaban is cool for a bit, but after winning 2 trophies I think they should be able to figure out that teams will be studying them more than others
Their lotus was played with the same comp for 6 months straight at the time of playing loud, and they had a 13-1 record. I wonder whether they’ll pick it and what comp they’ll use
Pearl was their first ban I think every series of the year, I wonder if they’ll ban it
First match vs loud they pick lotus, loud knew that would happen, steamroll Fnatic on lotus, it goes so badly that Fnatic bans lotus in the rematch
In the rematch again loud know that pearl is getting banned, they are prepared for split and haven, steamroll Fnatic on Fnatics pick again
One other interesting thing about the loud matches is that Fnatic had the best results on louds pick each time, which goes to show fnatics skill when not being planned for entirely
the reasoning they gave was that they were exhausted due to how the calendar was laid out for teams which qualified to Tokyo
I believe other players from different were also complaining about it
But I agree, having a permaban is a sign of weakness, a team contending for 3 trophies shouldn't have one imo
Valorant is pretty different with varying metas so honestly I don't think seeing it is as easier as CS.
Not saying doing it is easy in CS but valorant just changes quite a lot and a lot of teams benefit from certain patches / changes while the rest fail to adapt in time.
But with the academy teams and more teams going 10 man, we could definitely see a lot more innovative comps and ideas which could give us a 2024 Heretics
