optic 2-1, MARK MY WORDS, no team in NA COMES CLOSE to how well optic uses util and plays as a team. every other team in na like sen, xset, tgrd, c9, has to rely on individuals, I am confident that optic is the only team in NA who can win a game with both of their star players missing, while valorant is about adaptation, its hard to see a better team in NA than optic TBH. Sometimes they get outgunned but if they are hitting I think they are easiliy NA's best.

optic really isnt that inconsistent, since beta, them and sen have been the most consistent teams in NA. Plus every team relies on their jett to pop off.

#107

Chocolate_Mint_Icecream

Frags

–

quite the opposite optic is the only teams that has consistently reached NA challengers semifinals every time they played it, if optic qualifies for iceland after beating guard , they will have played more matches on international LANs than any other NA team .

But its also quite obvious why they arent as popular as sentinels or Guard or 100T...They make dogshit content

top seed means nothing because of old patch and because it gives you nothing in playoffs(not even start in upper round 2 like in emea)
so team that achived it obviosly fought for nothing

#59

DayZ-

Frags

–

Optic 2-0 or 2-1 in worst case scenario. I don't see a world where Guard beats Optic. Guard only really plays Haven, Icebox, Bind and a bit of Ascent. With Optic's win today against C9 I think its evident that Optic is way better on Bind and Ascent than any other NA team, and clearly much better on Haven than Guard. Guard haven't been looking as good on Haven, and their only "good" map is icebox which I guess Optic would ban immediately.

OpTic have consistently played in every big event in NA. Sure, they’ve often finished 2-8th in those events, unlike SEN who won most of them in 2021. But, with the downfall of SEN, OpTic is clearly the most consistent team left in NA. I think they take this one and qualify. Let’s go ex-Wardell-teammates FNS and yay.

I am supporting optic since masters 2 just coz I'm a fan of yay. But guard as a team looks way better than optic keeping in mind the current form. If FNS and victor hit their shots consistently, OG got this. My prediction tho 2-1 guard.
