For those of you that don't wanna click on the video

Question: Are you the best team in the world right now

Chet: "Uh I have no idea I think Gambits is pretty insane, I think FPX is pretty insane, I think if either of those teams qualifies for next one they will give us a run for our money, just cause they are that good, so I'm not gonna say we're the best but in scrims at least, those guys own us and so if they can replicate that in matches which I think they can, then I have no idea"

Question: In scrims who was the best EMEA roster

Chet: "Gambit, they were the best, by far. Chronicle is insane, that guy is actually insane. Redgar as well, this guy is running at us with Kayo and shitting on us, like this guys insane"

Goddamn do I hope we get to see Gambit back at LAN, a rematch between OpTic and Gambit would be so much fucking fun to watch, especially with OpTic being so amazing right now. While scrims aren't hugely important, I'm glad that it shows that Gambit can still compete in this new meta, and their performance last playoffs doesn’t hold true.

:D lets go gambit, :D lets go OpTic get that rematch

Didn’t they lose to G2?

No Cyap M3C/Gambit will likely a top team for the foreseeable future, there talent of those players plus there mental is such a good combo

hopefully masters 2 is hosted in a country where they can go

no one likes acend :(

Tbf they had to play like 6 days in a row, with the 5th day (FNC v M3C, having a lastly about more than 44 rounds)

every team loses once in a while guy, like loud beat optic then optic won in the rematch

Depressed_TSM_Fan [#2]

Didn’t they lose to G2?

Yea, so? Riots schedule forced them to play 3 days in a row, with no prep time at all. One upset doesn't matter, XSET and BBG beat sen when they were top NA and it didn't matter.

As FNS says "All Good"

Their mental was bombed after that Split OTs and pulled a DRX choke

yeah but sen never lost twice in a double elim when they were top NA

did they say anything about acend's new lineup tho 🥺👉👈 ?

Nope gambit mentality strong frogot 2-12 comeback? Thing is g2 were watchin gambit play for an week in lower while gambit had to face g2 right after fnc without vod review or time to fix mistakes

Depressed_TSM_Fan [#2]

Didn’t they lose to G2?

Optic lost to loud

Sad for gambit, on the fnc match it literally was obvious how tired they were, nats on b, his aim was looking like boaster (and was still better anyways)

Well maybe they just aren't good in scrims? That doesn't necessarily mean they won't be good though, I remember during sentinels "dominance" over NA they were constantly getting shit on by teams like LG and FaZe in scrims.

Acend are good in scrims if I'm not wrong, but they just went through roster changes.

I wonder if gambit could have placed fourth place if g2 won the first match versus Liquid.

Oh I know they used to be but their roster is very different now.

Some prx member also said that gambit and fpx is the only EU team that actually destroyed them in scrims, sad that emea can't go with cis unless the next masters is in asia

When did they say that, just curious

Yeah, I just finished watching the interview and the way Chet talked about M3C makes them out to be the no contest #1 team in the world. He said that Optic was lucky to get 7 rounds in a 24 round scrim and that they took a lot of strats from Gambit (Sentinels did 2).

Sad that a team that is the best strategically and one of the best mechanically doesn't get to play, hope to see them at masters 2.

Can't wait to see gambit play again

Damn I guess EMEA was hard nerf lol it might have actually been EU vs NA finals if m3c or fpx went.

Next Masters should be in Singapore or Seoul as they don't have ban on Russian flights I believe or if completely neutral nations then China or India
there can be crowd too since no covid Issue

Not China, they have really bad problems with covid I believe

oh I see India could be a good option then(no covid + neutral in RussiaVsUkraine thing) but very unlikely since rito biased EU

OzyMeister [#34]

More than being biased, they have better facilities in EU, they should do masters in turkey for me tho

facilities in what sense? turkey seems like a good option too if they don't ban Russians from coming

India never happenin bru no game has hosted lan in india thats like 10h flight. Theres alot of options in eu anyways just steal one of cs loction

there has been PubgM LAN afaik
also Valo Lan happening too https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Skyesports/Grand_Slam/2022/Phase/2
VCT South Asia (seeding for VCT APAC) should be LAN too after this event afaik there's no issues with facilities but the problem was other things like Covid and then Pakistanis not getting visas so easily so LANs are def happening but Masters level events like you said might not happen for next 3-5yrs since the scene is still kinda small compared to other regions
also flight times will always be different lol

wohe [#15]

did they say anything about acend's new lineup tho 🥺👉👈 ?

shhh! :)

now i wanna see Gambit vs Optic rematch, hopefully next master😁

We are gonna bounce back! No worries!

having 18 hours before the next match isn't an excuse... Optic had less than 15 hours to prepare right after the BO5 vs Zeta. But nobody complained it because they won.

gambit has always been known to be insane at scrims. But scrims doesn't state how good u are in matches, despite that they still lost to fnatic and G2. Until M3C makes it to masters 2, that is unknown until they played.

it clearly does, they have dominated every tournament they have played apart from the one where schedule fucked them over..

if it was only that then yes that can't be an excuse but Gambit played like 6 days in a row, one of them being that 44 rounds game vs fnc. Ofc they were gonna be burned out

vern [#44]

against zeta lol

Zeta's a fantastic team idk what you're trying to imply

vern [#44]

acting like Zeta didn't beat NIP, Fnatic, Team Liquid, DRX, and PRX

zardinez [#47]

yh tru, but they 100% wouldn't be able to replicate that against a full Fnatic team. You cant compare the likes of Optic vs Zeta and GMB facing Fnatic

?? gambit played 5 DAYs non STOP and g2 was in lower for a week watching gambit play after long game vs fnc they have no time to fix their mistake and vod review g2

cleary losing once doesn't mean anything bc optic lost to xeria and loud so nt

Optic has played over 400 rounds of valorant... there was no "time" to do anything except playing games. Loud had all the time in the world to prep vs Optic and yet they lost. That just proves how good Optic is with their playbook and how deep it is. If M3C's excuse is because they had less than a day of rest before their match, then you need to check other traditional sports and other esports that has the same duration and were still winning games.

M3C I repeat has no excuse for losing their game vs Fnatic or G2.

Dude i dont think you understand, G2 had a week to prepare, loud had a little over 24 hours. On top of that both loud and optic were playing constant matches whereas G2 wasn't playing for a week and studying m3c

G2 and gambit literally scrims each other in EMEA constantly... this is like saying V1 is better than loud because they gave Optic harder time. Well no shit when V1 knows how Optic plays because they played scrims more often.

and also G2 didn't have 1 week of prep... It was literally couple days. Even putting G2 aside, M3C lost to fnatic before they went to lowers. There's no excuse for that either. best of the best will show how good they are if they have the deepest strat book. Which M3C did not show that.

you clearly have no idea of how competitive tactical fps work on a high level, gambit played 6 matches straight and played a super tiring series against g2 and fucking g2 prepared so they fluked them, they wouldnt have been able to go either way but if they had a normal schedule because the war didnt happen they would have easiy qualified

common knowledge that gambit and fpx are probably the best teams itw, maybe new acend in this meta could be there too

a super tiring vs fnatic is literally the same Optic going in a BO5 vs Zeta and then the next day with little to no prep had to go against LOUD. LITERALLY no excuse for that. You either play to win or you don't.

"If they had a normal schedule" they had a normal schedule before playing vs fnatic and guess what happened? they lost to them. They were literally in lower brackets, and you expect M3C to have 2 days off? That's the whole point of lower brackets.

vern [#56]

He yoinked the split comp so what does that have to do with strat book? You can literally tell how M3C approaches split with neon vs Optic with neon.

the guys from loud said the same thing.
that gambit were the strongeest team that they pracc with.

bro, that was 3 easy maps vs zeta, you cant compare it to playing 5 matches in 7 days and one of them being a super exausting match against fnatic where the decider breaks the record for most rounds played in vct europe and being 0.02 away from qualiying, do you even know how mentally defeated you will be after that? 0.02 seconds bro, that is literally absurd, I would be fucking mentally deafeated after playing 5 matches in a row and being 0.02 seconds away from qualifying in the sixth match lol

If a team gets mentally defeated after a loss like that while you're still not out and have lower bracket run to go. That shows they didn't deserve to qualify. Mental resilience is a thing in sports and M3C being defeated mentally while they're still in the tournament shows that they didn't clearly qualify.

Depressed_TSM_Fan [#2]

Didn’t they lose to G2?

yeah, they did. i guess they got "burnt out" but seems like an excuse to me. i mean, it's not like they're competing in olympic sports or something. they're playing a video game.
