IGZIST 0-2 FENNEL
Map 1: Sunset (13-5 FL)
- Hear me out; FL looked uncharacteristically sloppy on their attack half. Yes, on their 10-2 attack half on Sunset.
- Rounds 5, 7, 10 and 11 were questionable
- So many ego peeks
- Really strange aim fights
- Giving up early advantages
- IGZIST didn't look better on attack, though
- FL still closed out defense relatively comfortably
Map 2: Ascent (13-4 FL)
- FL are very good on Ascent
- Ban Ascent against FL
- Insane snowballs on both defense and attack
- SyouTa is very good at Valorant
VARREL 2-0 Murash Gaming
Map 1: Breeze (13-10 VL)
- Breeze? In my VCL Japan?? It's rarer than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon since many teams are inclined to ban it
- Zepher once again played a pseudo-duelist role and looked pretty good, honestly
- The tech pauses seemed to hurt both teams' momentum
- Million and Tonbo tried to bring the game back (Round 20....)
Map 2: Lotus (13-6 VL)
- Keep in mind, this is the map where MRSH embarrassed NTH 13-1 last week
- MRSH's defense nowhere looked as good as last week, minimal synergy and trades
- Tonbo tried his best again
- Million couldn't find a solution for MRSH
- xnfri is back. Freed from DFM.
Sengoku Gaming 2-0 NORTHEPTION
Map 1: Sunset (13-5 SG)
- NTH looked lethargic on attack, except for Thiefy.
- Jinboong is also very good at Valorant
- Gatorada was an unsung hero
- Good smoke coverage
- Good util usage, especially with retakes
- I may have severely underestimated Sengoku
Map 2: Ascent (13-8 SG)
- Extremely good defense half
- The twins alone had 34 kills. That is equal to all of NTH combined.
- Thiefy was playing 1v9 on attack
- There was some hope in NTH's defense, but it was short-lived.
- There isn't much to say, but NTH should be better
