About how long would you brag about that one win? Back then, every team was still in the learning phase and SEN was better on that particular day. What about SEN now?
Valorant Champions Tour Stage 2: Masters Reykjavík - 2021
Sen 3-0 Fnatic
Split 14-12
Bind 16-14
Haven 13-11
Super close maps, Fnatic could have won that event too.
Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo
Fnatic 2-0 Sen
Haven 13-6
Split 13-7
Sen just got destroyed in a revenge matchup, while FNC in 2021, gave tough competition. Thus, your opinion is rejected. Thanks.
And just before you start malding about this, i was a Sen fan back then and still love tenz but not the owner or team structure/management .
Eg’s players probably have a hunger fnatic’s players don’t anymore
Atleast not the same way
The Hunger To Immortalise yourself
To prove to yourself that those days of hardwork are all finally fucking WORTH IT
The Hunger To Be a World Champion at the game.
One of the Undisputed Best, only few get to call themselves that.
That’s what EG is fighting for. WAY MORE than anything Fnatic is looking for Right now.
Will Fnatic still probably win? Probably. Possibly. But The Hunger was never the same.
eg has no pressure, you make it here you’re not supposed you’re playing with nothing to lose. Every game EG is laughing and having fun because they know everything they’re doing now was not expected, fnatic has a dynasty to play for, they have to prove lock in wasn’t a fluke, have to prove they’re the super team. The difference is incredible all it takes is one wrong map and your mental can be completely ruined.
it’s not the players looking at it like that, it’s all the outside pressure. everyone on fnatic even if you bury it at the back of your mind knows this is their tournament to win. pressure no matter what can be to insurmountable to overcome. An example is loud at lock-in, home crowd, up 11-3 expected to win. All it takes is one mental slip and it can cost you the entire game. FNATIC were in the exact spot eg was 11-3 down in that map, nothing to lose is a scary prospect
