Saadhak on how fatigued they were for lower final

“tuyz couldn’t sleep. he was sleeping on his chair, had to wash his face between matches”
“first time we needed energy drinks”
“I had to sleep at 1am, woke up at 6”
“even with energy drinks and coffee I couldn’t stay focused”
and more https://x.com/m4ttxl/status/1696343186111615398?s=46

some people mocked me because I said LOUD’s run was the hardest and, summing up with how rushed lower bracket is, they were extremely fatigued, exhausted, SLEEPY for that lower final

it sucks to look at LOUD’s run, event stats and all and think they could’ve gone further. but yeah, year was still very good for LOUD

Definitely the most insane run in any events no? They played against literally all of the best teams this year.

Yeah. Huge respect to LOUD and maybe even to fnatic. The lower bracket is tough, and it looks like the format was especially rough for loud because upper bracket matches happened before the lower bracket so from the beginning until the dark days, they had no rest.

I mean... not throwing out FNC's effort in the trash, but LOUD is the only org to respect about the run:

LOUD: Literally in the group of death, playing 3 insane series with DRX, TL and NAVI, Getting FNC (2 times), PRX, EDG and EG

FNC: Ridiculously easy group against ZETA and BLG, and got FUT in the 1st lower round 😴... Their 1st hard match was against LOUD and DRX

Yes you normally get a hard group when you come into the event as a third seed.

Fnc got an easy group because they were a first seed.

I know... but still FNC's run was not even close to how hard LOUD run was, that's my point

Fnatic has also had one of the longest seasons out of all the teams. Aside from Champions, they made it to the finals in all the tournaments, including the regional one. Regardless if the games were "easy" or not, it's exhausting to play at that level because you still have to prep and anti-strat.

All teams (except for those that played LCQ) had 1 month to rest + prepare themselves to champions, including LOUD and FNC, so what happened before that, doesn't matter THAT MUCH tbh, you can rest + prepare yourself properly in 1 month.

Also... the amout of nerves + stress gained in all those games was WAAAAY much more afectable in LOUD players than in FNC players
.
.
Excluding the EG game (Cause it was post FNCs elimination), LOUD played really though, tight and EXTREMELY more hard games against the best teams in the world, just take a look at these numbers:

MAPS:
Groups: 4 maps vs 8 maps - LOUD played 2x more than FNC
Playoffs: 10 maps vs 11 maps
.
.
ROUNDS:
Groups: 73 rounds (18,25 rounds per map) vs 176 rounds (22 rounds per map) - LOUD played 2,41x more than FNC
Playoffs: 197 rounds (19,7 rounds for map) vs 234 rounds (21,3 rounds per map)

huge respect to LOUD, I kinda felt prx got really lucky to not get 2-0d by them, and next season if LOUD can cut out all the media noise and come back refreshed they're gonna be back in their Champions 2022 form.
I can't believe we have 4 months to wait

In a final Loud vs PRX
PRX would be champion

Respect their tournament run especially considering they had trouble outside of the server too

I am extremely proud of Loud and I feel like they represent the Americas better than any other team.

With that being said, I’m an NA fan so I was glad EG won, but I think chaadhak is my favorite player.

and in 7:33 less say: "Tuyz are with very red eyes" and Bruno say he can't sleep because an indigestion.

Very proud of how can resilient loud could be

Yeah their run was the hardest which would've been insane if they were able to actually become Champions 2023... Would be GOAT Team
