Went from Top 2 in Iceland and 1st in Berlin/Champions
to
FNATIC - Lost by a huge margin to Bronzil and JP (pretty embarrassing even with 2 stand-ins
Team Liquid - Lost to Bronzil, barely won SEA (2 rounds)
G2 - struggling to win against JP
Only one map was close and G2 Historically always start bad, just look at them at every tournament, or either they lose to someone that they're better or they struggle against bad teams, anyways they didn't really struggle by their standarts, just look at FPX in Qual masters 3, Liquid in Challengers, FAQ in Berlin, i was even considering that they would lose as their first match, but it's zeta, also first mach on stage + Zeta had the momentum, i mean, yeah consider what you want, but at this point everyone should know how G2 start
Lol if G2 barely won against Zeta and people are clowning G2 for it....then Sen also hardly won against Fnatic....2 OTs and a 13-11.
Most of the people here are hypocrites bruh who just wanna pull a team down whatever way they want. They will put forward mind boggling dogshit takes with utmost confidence..... it's hard to tell if they are baiting or just retarded
Fnatic: 2 subs, one of them being their superstar player.
Liquid: Looked like shit before Masters and changed their comps on pretty much all maps. LOUD is hyped and it wasn't bad game for a team that wasn't even supposed to be there.
G2: Looked bit shaky still especially when it comes to players like nukkye and Meddo. Also scrappy team so you can't look too much on round scores alone IMO.
And then we don't have FPX there or M3C who just looked exhausted against G2.
I think Fnatic with their full roster would have won the tournament same can be said for M3C. I think both of those teams have showed the highest level of competitive Valorant so far in 2022. Don't know about FPX.
COPIUM
well the best teams in emea dindt make it , as fpx couldnt attend and fnc with 2 subs , as for g2 they are doing good ,TL are using this tournament just to expirement different things , it took only few weeks to practise new igling process and roles, they still looked super strong in heaven louds pick they played the strongest map in the tournament so far it shows the potential of the roaster , if sliggy wasnt trying weird stuff in qualifiers they couldve been in better spot rn still i believe if he correct some approaches to the game , he difently a really good coach
zeta isn't that bad. if you watches yesterday days game vs G2, most of the rounds are very close, much closer than the 2:0 and 13:7 and 13:10. Liquid lose maps to loud that they played in the group stage. Of course loud have good prep for that so it makes sense they lose by a small margin.
Other regions just got much better.
Those EU people are so full of themselves, they think everything is about them... NO EU did NOT fall off, other regions that are getting better my friend.
EU was the most experienced region their learning curve was almost at the end, but the other regions were fresh innexperienced they had much to learn, and they did, eventually they would catch up. It's happening.
I mean things don't look as good for EMEA because
1 fpx looked really good and they couldn't make it because of 2 Russians in their team
2 Gambit looked really good but after that overtime loss , they went ahead and lost in the lower bracket too but realistically even if they had won, they wouldn't make it either
3 acend has some internal issues going on, bonecold has been dropped and zeek is really going through mental problems rn
