Was the underdog in all of their playoff matches at Champions last year except for the grand finals.

They finished 2nd in their group after losing to Optic.
Quarters against a Leviathan team that looked 'unstoppable' in groups winning all of their pistols
Semis against a Drx team that looked 'unbeatable': 2-0 against Furia, 2-0 against 100T in groups and 2-0 in quarters against the Masters winners of FPX.
Finals against an Optic team that had already beaten them in groups so no explanation needed.
Grand finals was the first time they were the favorites in their playoffs run

This year
Quarters: they were insane underdogs in their quarterfinals against an 'unbeaten' Fnatic
Semis: they are once again getting viewed as a top team but are still small underdogs against an 'unstoppable force' in Paper Rex.
Finals? Drx that has already beaten them in groups?
Grand finals they will be the favorites no matter what (if they make it there)

also its funny how last year they copied LEV's haven and smoked them on it. Now, they copied FNC lotus and also destroyed them on it
both maps were 13x6

You know what's funny, I saw soooo many times people saying OpTic was the best team of 2022
Now, understandable, people say the same about Fnatic, but also going as far as saying they have this title even if they don't win champs.

Can you imagine Loud being back to back champs and people still not considering them the best team? Because it will happen lol

If LOUD win champs they are undeniably the GOAT team

2022 OpTic was better overall though

Yes, I knew. I just think that the PRX team is quite overrated.
Sure, I admit they play a solid Valorant, but their reputation gets inflated because they're an entertaining team to watch. However, LOUD just defeated the team regarded as the best in the world with relative ease, so I disagree that they should be seen as underdogs for this match.

LOUD is too good at adapting the opponent's strats!
