I mean not really, they barely beat LOUD in lock-in, and Tokyo was kind of a weak tournament if we're being honest. Outside of EG and maybe NRG, no team was really in form during that tournament. It's funny how everyone glazed them, just for them to get hard read by LOUD at champs. Hard to be a super team when you can't even win at the highest levels of competition.
That's not even close to what I'm saying. People just don't understand what a super team really is. Great teams/rosters don't just equal super teams because they're really good. The team has be clearly better than other teams for a sustained period of time to be a super a team. Other wise it's just a great team or a great performance.
That GSW team won two finals in a row, with relatively no competition. You could argue the same for FNC, but it's very different circumstances imo. FNC won early in the beginning of a new era in valorant where most teams were barely figured out or struggling, and took advantage of that. Obviously, 2023 FNC was a great team, but it's hard to really consider them a super team after their performance at champs.
now lets change the words to make it valid for Madrid. You can come up with excuses for anything, facts stay facts. FNC was the best team of 2023, and currently SEN is the best in 2024.
I mean not really, they barely beat NRG in kickoff, and Madrid was kind of a weak tournament if we're being honest. Outside of GENG and maybe PRX, no team was really in form during that tournament. It's funny how everyone glazed them, just for them to get hard cooked by Aspas at split1. Hard to be a super team when you can't even win at the highest levels of competition.
I mean...no one said SEN was a super team, and I would agree with that. If you want to label a team a super team you can do that, but the expectations go way up. It's not even enough to win, you have win convincingly. You can't just win once, it has to be more than once. I'm forever going to be disappointed in FNC because everyone was building that team up to be insane, just to not even make finals at champs.
FNC only lost to LOUD x2 and TL (in a meaningless game) in 2023, i would say thats a super team.
Some teams are better at countering other teams, LOUD knew FNC would be their biggest competition and hard countered them both games while others failed. This isnt a failure of FNC, its a success on LOUD.
And with all that, couldn't even make it past LOUD at champs.
But at least they made the finals right? Oh wait...well there's always top 3. Oh not even top 3...all these top 5 players and we only got top 4, unlucky. Well there's always next year, we'll destroy them all then...
Fucking hell FNC fans are insufferable.
But is the fault of FNC that they didn't change anything up. Or at least they were too readable then. Like, stop making excuses for that team. They could've read LOUD back, or changed anything at all to win, but instead they lost twice. It's just LOUD was better, but LOUD 2023 was not a super team, so...
