like all these mfs fell off so hard how did they do that
demon1 is ass
c0m is dead weight for the first 2/3 of the year
ethan might be decent but hes so irrelevant i forgot he was on this team
boostio cant even get the 3 kills he needs to pi
jawgemo is still good but he was not solo carrying these clowns
even potter isnt living up to what she pulled off in 23
retarded EU narrative still lives. EG wins Tokyo if they won that coinflip map 3 in the UBF, meanwhile Champs EG would not only guarantee a Bo3 win vs FNC but would’ve also 3-0d them in the final if they had map advantage, especially in LA. Champs EG > Tokyo EG + FNC placed 4th + FNC fall off began there XD
Did you even watch them that year, as soon as they got Demon1 the team took like a month to integrate him and then they were the best team the rest of the year, they got second in regionals, second in Masters, then won champs. How is that “one win” and a “fluke”. Watch the games bro don’t just comment
2023/01/19 is when demon1 joined, they had a qf finish in lock-in which u can argue was too soon for demon1 to be integrated as it was only a month after he joined, but then even throughout the season they lost to teams like furia, lev and 100 thieves all of the above either scraped through like EG did on 4 wins 5 losses or missed out entirely on qualifying.
you say "watch the games" but u literally got the wrong placement in regionals, they finished third behind both LOUD and NRG.
you say "watch the games" but u didn't think to mention that in the masters where they placed so highly they beat a fallen off their prime DRX who looked severely washed, a fut which shouldn't even have qualified for the tournament, Loud which to their credit they genuinely just played a good game against and a 100thieves who for the past 3 years have looked so mid a team like rankers nowadays genuinely looks like they'd win against them.
in the champs that they did win they had by far the easiest route to the grand final with every single team that finished top 4 but them being on the opposite side of the bracket than them by now, EDG did not look nearly as good as they do now and DRX had began their fall off.
As i said in my first comment, They were mid the entire year, finishing 4/5 in regular season, proceeding this, they get some of the nicest seeds for brackets imaginable and beat 1 team which were falling off and 2 which shouldn't even have been there. What part of this provides "They are a strong consistent contender for success", From the dictionary itself a "fluke" is an unexpected stroke of good luck, No doubt in my mind the players were good to be able to win, but they had a serious amount of unexpected good luck to help them along their way.
All of this is factual information, The only thing that's conjecture or subjective is your comments which base off placements rather than the route taken, It would be pretty easy for a Football, Rugby, Etc team to get to the finals of their respective events considering their opponents are a consistent class below them, It doesn't take away their win but it's not exactly something to be praised for.
Its so ironic that the only person who knows what they're talking about is assmolestia of all people in this thread 🤣🤣
No offense guys, but did yall not watch vct 2023 at all? Because the answer isn't loud or prx choking, or avoiding fnatic, or whatever other bullshit these clowns are saying.
EG played some of the most tactical valorant of all time, everything they did had a purpose, and every opponent was gameplanned against extremely well. Their comps and maps were so clearly a level above everyone else, and their synergy and teamwork was unmatched. And among all else, every single player was playing at an elite level, especially demon1 who was unarguably the best player itw after champs.
the eg fluke narrative only exists because the roster literally blew up, and it was due to the org and not even the players wanting to split. if eg sticks together for 2024 they qualify to madrid GUARANTEED since they would only have to play 2 matches against g2 with net and loud with qck, and most likely win madrid while easily surpassing both sen and geng since they had already perfected their own system
If you judge them individually, they definitely lost to PRX members. but in terms of team and meta back then they were better than PRX. They're the most complete team if they stack to this day. They have really great duelists/smokers (jawgemo/demon1), good scan/stun initator support, good igl in calling and rotation
