For each of the remaining teams, imagine they find themselves in the Grand Finals. Which team do you think would be a nightmare stylistically for them? For example, PRX are probably the most aggressive team still in the competition. Of the remaining teams, who would counter them most effectively? Same question for each of the other remaining teams (DRX, G2, LOUD, OPTIC, PRX, ZETA).
Pick a team. Who counters them best?
Marty [#4]I lowkey think that zeta counter optic pretty well. They run cringe comps which would already leave chet stumped. They also run cringe shorty strats which would knock out chet and counter the agressivness from victors neon.
lmfao

How good is ZETA compared to Optic and DRX? Could they meet them after beating liquid 2-1?

drx already beat them in the opening match* 13-3 and 13-4 or something like that. I believe that if they had played optic they wouldve had a way better chance to beat them. Right now I do not think that we will see zeta v optc (yet). It is very possible we see it soon tho since zeta is qualifying to every single lan event this year.
for PRX, teams who cannot confidently deny them map control or retake the space their duelists will definitely take, will be a good matchup. I think Zeta and G2 could be good matchups.
teams who can do so, namely DRX and OPTIC will be bad matchups. Although, the way Optic hold map control is mostly off the back of Yay's op, so it does depend on his performance on the day.
LOUD is a 50/50 in my head because I feel like they're more than ready to play "jail valorant" at any point themselves, too - it won't be surprising to them.
