In another timeline this team exists and destroyed fnatic 3-0 in finals
No, that's just completely false. Leo is doing at the very least as good as Sheydos but in an infinitely more competitive stage of the game. Can you show me Sheydos regional stats and also stats on LAN if they even match up to Leo's even relatively? https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/14f1gnx/leo_is_the_only_player_that_has_been_rated_on_vlr/
Leo MVP of LOCK/IN and easily top 2 in Tokyo.
i just said d3ffo was (not is) better for gambit than something
something denied to join gambit
no where did I say deffo is better than derke
as for why prime gambit beats fnatic ---> comms are much clearer (watch the vods), players have more time with each other leading to better synergy and tactical macro as well as nAts being in his prime.
Theres a lot of reasons why fnatic could also beat gambit but theres also as many to suggest otherwise, it'd be a good and close game.
aside from that your comment is really a nothing burger and an assorted word salad
Your assumptions are also nothing burger, what do you mean nAts being in his prime? Can you prove that his skills deteriorated? Meta evolved and teams adapted to his lurking to some extent, it's crazy to divorce his performance from non-individualistic context.
Game has evolved, they do naturally in any competitive game, and FNC have better firepower.
FNATIC vs GMB also depends on the meta they clash in.
Forget FNC, if GMB were materialized into existence, even LOUD, NRG, EG would defeat if not demolish them. You are neglecting the improvement in the overall scenes in so many fronts.
Now say that without crying.
From what I can gather from this brief exchange (with a wall known as terribletyranny), I watched and understood more than you. But I understand your emotional response, being confronted with reality about your favorite team can be painful. It's OK.
Thanks for conceding anyway. /closed
liquid and fnatic only play the way they do since redgar+nAts and kronikel joined those teams respectively (nAts defines the sentinel role and teams play around his lurks rather than the other way around and redgar is the igl anyway so he brought a lot of gambit with him, as for kronikel, he was always the second caller in gambit, and does a lot of macro for fnatic)
they had bad results in 2022 because they didnt have these players and had a different playstyle
