This is the final trial that will determine whether NRG will ever live up to Optic's legacy.

if they win this, they will beat C9 in a rematch and become the best team in the Americas.

its more important to save strats for later then for saving their egos, just like they did in champs saving haven for the end

they were not saving the haven, sacy said they just copied all leviathan strats throughout the tournament

not just copied, they made it perfect. LOUD beat Leviatán in Haven that champions.

as saadhak said, loud is not showing all they got, and they are already in playoffs, this match is just another one but not too important, so they dont have to tryhard it and win

he says something like "there are still a lot of things that we didnt show yet, we are saving some compositions and other strats because we are already at the playoffs. we are guaranteed top 1 or 2 and that makes us much more at ease."

They have H2H against C9 so i’m pretty sure they have #1 seed

Loud don’t have nothing to prove but this will be an important game for the optic core. They need to win this to prove that they are still on the same level as their old rival (which I think they are kekw)

Do you think new players (S0m, Ardiis, Tuyz, cauanzin) think of it as a rivalry that they've adopted too, or don't care about it at all?

#16

Simp4S0m

Frags

I don’t think they do, but I think Ardiis and S0m wants revenge for last match no? And if NRG wins next it will be the other way around, then the new players will be involved in the rivalry.

I don't know, the closest I heard to that was Tuyz saying that Lock-in's match against NRG was really fun. But like, I don't know if it's the same thing when you're a Real Madrid player and Barcelona instantly becomes your biggest rival

You need to give it time. This rivalry barely has a year. Lets hope both teams are consistently top tier and can keep up this rivalry. If they are able to keep this level any new players that join will see it as an inherent rivalry later on.

Let’s see the stats?
LOUD
Can Cauanzin clutch? Of Course
Can Less clutch? Yes
Can Aspas clutch? Yes
Can Tuyz clutch? not since lock-in
Can Saadhak clutch? not since lock-in

NRG
Can S0m clutch? Of Course
Can Ardiis clutch? Fuck no lol (he will die by his own Blastpack)
Can Victor clutch? Yes
Can Crashies clutch? 50/50
Can Fenis clutch? Fuck no lol

CONCLUSION
the game will be defined by heroic clutches and NRG don’t have enough clutch players.

Loud win 2-1
Map1 - 16-18
Map2 - 20-18
Map3 - 35-33

idk what ur smoking with this "NRG can't clutch" ardiis has the most iconic clutch of vct history and Crashies has been improving rapidly over the last year and some consider him the star player of NRG.

That Ardiis clutch was on fpx, I agree he was goated in fpx but in NRG he is not fitting well, mf is the true bronze

This match is so close, that I always bet on the choice of maps.

Good Loud maps: Ascent, Haven, Pearl

NRG Good Maps: Bind, Fracture, Lotus

Haven is a really good map for both NRG and LOUD, im kinda hoping they pick it just so we can see who dominates

NRG ban Ascent
Loud ban Bind
NRG pick Fracture
Loud pick Split
NRG ban haven
Loud ban lotus
Pearl

This will be the exact same maps at lock in, just a different order.

Even if NRG beats Loud I doubt they’ll ever live up to Optic’s legacy.

They’d still have to beat Fnatic

they are one of the big three nowadays. I think he meant that if NRG beat FNC, they will probably to be one of the greats.

I guess. He just talks about living up to Optic's legacy... who have never even played FNC. Not as NRG, not as Optic, not as Envy or even as TWAT.

Yeah and I'm having this conversation with you, so obviously there's something wrong with me when you're a complete imbecile. You're assuming that fnatic is still going to be the best team in the world come the next event. Tell me, please... how many repeat champion teams have there been since Valorant started. I'll wait....

And before you say... I just meant the best in the world, not specifically fnatic, the whole conversation started by you saying them beating Loud isn't enough.

tbh I don’t think NRG will live up to the OPTIC legacy they just look so shaky at times

s0m has been playing incredible but idk you could always just rely on yay whereas you don’t know whether ardiis will have a good match or not

NRG playing for their spot in playoffs. LOUD keep running the same strats every map to save new stuff for playoffs. NRG winning this one does not say much.

Oh my god, excuses, NA is full of excuses

Br when they hear "Loud is not gonna try, they are qualify so they can lose"*
Oh my god, it's true, that so smart, it's not an excuse
