Now that NA already faced EMEA & PACIFIC teams it's safe to say NA dominance is imminent and we're back to owning these fraud regions again
With all do respect you say fnatic choke but they were on an unbeaten streak up until their regions playoff finals and they did beat loud when loud should have easily have won their final map against fnatic in lockins I still think fnatic are a possible true threat don't get me wrong I'm not saying NA won't dominate their already looking good through groups the true test will be in playoffs imo
That's actually true, but exactly THAT is Fnatics weakness - their discipline. Of course they have the best roster in the world and are able to beat every team. I mean they were 2-0 ahead against LOUD and then they stopped to com, were insanely aggressive and stopped peeking etc. - like they didn't care anymore. That's the reason why those teams NEED a loss from time to time, so they get remembered that they're not unbeatable. LOUD is more disciplined and they stay more calm. I hope for a rematch in Tokyo.
This isn't an alt account who is shownu? And my message wasn't to trigger or hate on you I was mearly saying fnatic can be a true threat from emea I would have said the same about drx but the way they played against EG I don't think they have a good chance EG how ever would love to win the tournament would be an amazing underdog story with a rookie in demon1
How can NA be on top when LOUD are VCT 2022 World Champions and Fnatic VCT LOCKIN 2023 World Champions?
There is a chance, that an NA team will become the best. I mean EG are basically doing a lot of pioneering work right now with creating a fully new playstyle - but they still have to manage to beat NRG and LOUD with this - and Fnatic beat LOUD the last time. When EG or NRG wins Tokyo, I'm with you - then NA is on top for the moment.
I actually hope that EG wins the tournament. We need fresh wind and these guys don't give a damn about these big teams. When they have the momentum, they're able to beat LOUD and Fnatic. But that didn't happen yet. ;)
Check the Riot trailer, they're legit saying that and at the tournament when they got the trophy it also said "LOCKIn World Champions". I did not make it up, guys. Why should I? Furthermore at Masters Tokyo now, they also said "Fnatic LOCKIN World Champions".
Why? Maybe because it was the biggest Valorant tournament yet, with the 32 best teams in the world. But hey... call it whatever you want. LOCKIN Champions, World Champions, LOCKIN winners... I mean who gives a damn?! I think it doesn't even care anymore. Who cares what was won 4 months ago or last year or 2021? Only some fanboys are always pulling out wins from the past, but it has nothing to do with the current form.
