C9 is first NA team

that's fair, i guess he was speaking moreso about appearance rather than actual stats, gambit LOOKED to be one of the most dominant teams, any time i think of optic i dont think of them as dominant tbh because their wins felt "scrappy" looking back on it

i agree that they deserved their 1st, 3rd, and 2nd hands down but something about optic feels differerent than Gambit. maybe it's because they won their first masters, got 2nd at champs in a 3-2 to acend, and then had to deal with the russia ukraine conflict which was a major 3rd party event that hindered their performance. they could've been more but got shafted due to world conflicts

I’m just saying c9 has more potential than optic. Also Chamber meta was broken never forget this, now we watch better Valorant with more balance and talents involved (all frauds like t0nz, y0y, cn0d are nearly washed)
