I feel like EG dont stand a chance against Fnatic, if fnc gets knocked out by loud in lowers again, and EG beat prx this will be the flukest champions ever since EG got the most easy group and bracket and didn't even had to face the best team (fnc) tbh

Uh huh, let's rage
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I, I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy (enemy)
Your enemy (your enemy), your enemy
not so hot take - tokyo
NAVI in bad form
NRG in bad form
DRX in bad form / identity crisis
LOUD in bad form / identity crisis
PRX playing w sub instead of star player, forcing them to do completely different comps
EG practicing w reformed instead of demon1 for weeks cuz situation was unknown
ASE/FUT full waste of slot
THE EASIEST TOURNMENT THAT A TEAM EVER HAD, EVERY SINGLE CONTENDER HAD ISSUES.
This is so cap lmao
- Agree 100% on PRX. The lads were so damn good, I just wish Something got to play. I believe PRX vs FNC at Tokyo would've been an amazingly close game.
- Regarding NRG, DRX, LOUD, NAVI. If a team is in bad form, that means they're not that good/ consistent. That's not Fnatic's fault. How come FNATIC has been in form almost all year? That just means they're better. Not more lucky.
- Not sure about your EG point. Demon1 was one of their best players at Tokyo and all of em looked pretty comfy. They fought hard but choked when it mattered. I think they lost because of a lack of experience, not because they didn't prep enough. They could've and should've won Bind.
You can find issues every single LAN, because there will always be some teams struggling with form, or visa issues or got lucky, or whatever. That doesn't mean the winner doesn't deserve it.
demon1 had a visa issue that got solved a week before tokyo, they were pracing with reformed even back in AMERICAS playoffs. also demon1 was relatively quite on tokyo, hes coming back to his regular form now.
not fnatic fault for a team being in a bad form, but so many teams having a really big slump in the same tournment just makes it so much easier.
You don't seem to understand my point. Did Fnatic get a bit lucky? Yeah, sure. Did they win because of luck? Absolutely not. They are the only team to win back to back LANs, have some respect. You can't get lucky so much that you end up with 2 LANs in one year. Their loss to LOUD was literally the 2nd series they lost this year, out of like 20. That's a 90% hit rate, not luck.
OP isn’t entirely wrong tbh. matchups are a thing. I don’t see EG beating FNATIC, but I see them maybe beating LOUD since they know each other well and did countless scrims in Americas. and… I don’t see FNATIC beating LOUD in a rematch either. LOUD dropping to lower is something FNATIC feared the most, since LOUD seems to be the only team that can consistently beat them
Hard agree with you on LOUD being the worst matchup for Fnatic. I think it's the fact that the whole team can pull shit out the bag whereas with most teams you only have to shut down 2 or 3 players. Fnatic focuses a lot on trading teams out nowadays and LOUD on good form is just harder to do that to.
if FNC is so much better than all the other teams, then why are they in lowers? like, I'm sorry but it's so ridiculous that people will say one team or another winning is a fluke bc they didn't face a team - if that team was so good, then they would have won and they would be in the upper bracket. like, I think FNC is an amazing team, and is the best valorant team that has existed so far in the history of the esport, but you can't discount EG's wins just bc FNC cracked in their first game of playoffs. the transitive property does not work there.
