Sideshow is crazy and jealous

He Is saying G2 is the best team at the end of the tournament
What is this bs?

G2 were the best team at the start of tournament

I agree with this statement

G2 were the best team until gf

I agree

But man G2 has veto advantage and ban their 2 worst maps and had their best 5 maps

T1 were continuously playing games from like thursday to Sunday

G2 has like 2 days break on which they can decide which 2 maps to ban, what to antistrat and all those stuff
2 whole days!!!!

And sideshow was saying if u play the game again G2 would have won

I mean ur analyst be serious man
There is GF for a reason, the pressure the stage the crowd everything is there

The team who performs the best in such environment on a given day is the best team of the tournament

Man they had full 2 map veto advantage and first pick advantage, what else do you need? Play same 3 maps and win such gf or Play gf on same day as lower final?

T1 is still the best team of the tournament

PLATCHAT is sometimes bs

Ive been saying they have some sort of hidden animosity and ego that they cannot fathom when an "inferior team" beats the superior one. Theyre all a bunch of dickhead wannabe intellectuals waiting and praying to rip into players and have a good laugh every week.

They spent a lot of time gassing up T1. More than G2 that episode, actually. They just also think G2 looked really good and was the best team over all at the event. They also think T1 is clearly at least second best team and is also really good. They are allowed to have opinions.

both teams made mistakes bro, you can't say one team was better except for their mistakes, that's called not being better. i can just as easily claim t1 should have won abyss since the comeback was a fluke, and t1 would have won map 1 if they weren't tired from the previous day or something, so it should have been 5-0.

T1's best maps are lotus, haven, split, and pearl. T1 looks best on their double duelist maps which bind isn't. I mostly think G2 shouldn't have let haven(one of t1's best maps) through and instead of bind.

it's crazy, it's a hot take, it's cope

but I agree with eggman

G2 looked better throughout the tourney and even tho they "tossed" or "choked" the grand final, I think they were the better team

if nothing than from the eyetest I think it's the case

call me insane but it's a hot take from egg that I am on board with

but I'm still happy T1 won, it's an upset for a reason

let's not be hindsight harrys, no sane person had T1 above 5th going into Bangkok

So you re saying that the best team did not win in Berlin, Champs 21', Berlin 22, Champs 22, Lock in, Champs 23, Shanghai and Champs 24. As far as i remember the teams that won those events werent the favourites so are you agreeing with this?

berlin no, GMB were strong and Sen fell off
champs 21 yes, Acend was not the best team
berlin 22 didn't happen, if you mean copenhagen then yes I agree
champs 22 no, LOUD was 1 of the 2 best teams
Lock in yes, some people had FNC out against 100T lmao
champs 23 no, EG was seen as one of the strongest teams going into champs
shanghai no, GenG were seen as one of the strongest
champs yes, EDG were not seen as the best or even in the top 5 strongest teams

that's such a hindsight harry, results-based analysis take

it's not wrong entirely but you can't just say that and have it be the ultimate truth

I personally don't think they were the best team in the world and they weren't even the best team in Bangkok JUST because they won

they're good, insane even. but not the best

they simply went on a run, and form is not the only thing that makes a team good

#39

The_Preacher

Frags

Also ur saying G2 are the best team

Answer me the following

They had 2 ban advantage
They picked Abyss, their opponents perma ban, so basically they were 1 map up in bo5
They also picked 1st map of series
They had 2 extra of prep in which they knew what they were gonna ban and just get like 6-10 scrims for other maps
They can anti strat the hell out of their opponent(which was visible in lotus)
Also T1 played lower final just a day before GF, so they had negligible scrim practise, they only can vod review their maps and probably G2 map(only theory, no practise)

They still lost!!

I mean what more do you need

Why is T1 not the better team after the tournament ended?

There is a reason bo5 happens becoz we don't need any narrative that this team is better or that, result will speak for itself

They were probably the best team of tournament till GF

But after GF T1 was clearly better and clearly won the GF with such huge disadvantages

#40

MissesHisShots

Frags

–

"clearly won" is just not true

2/5 of those maps went to OT

both teams got their best maps

also I never said G2 were the best, I just said T1 aren't

as for the extra practice, did they know that they WILL play T1?
cuz I'm not sure about that

also at the risk of saying something stupid, I'll say T1 won on form alone and their ideas didn't look superior, which I said before form isn't the only thing that makes a team good

also you're saying that because T1 beat the best team they are now the best
but upsets happen all the time and this is no different

#41

The_Preacher

Frags

–

Clearly winning means they won fair and square with all such disadvantages

I mean it's just 2 teams left in the tourney EDG And T1 and G2 will surely be watching lower final

T1 are better, stay in your delusion buddy

It doesn't matter even if their ideas weren't superior, they had their nerves calm and they know what's their strength and weakness are and they played on their strength

G2 have the option to play on T1 weak maps but they didn't, but they chose to play on G2s strength so this point of argument doesn't make any sense

#44

fair, but wording could have been better
yeah, and they could have played EDG for whom the prep might have and probably is different

yes it does, had they not been in form they would have lost but I already know you don't do hypotheticals
which T1 maps were weak that G2 don't like to play on themselves? the map pool was strong for both teams

They were at best 6th before Bangkok if you were a supreme SEN hater like me. They didn't look good before bangkok and still don't look consistent. They just improved dramatically, which good on them, but doesn't rewrite history.

So many people want to be Hindsight Harry's on this site and pretend they knew the whole time because they've 0 integrity and are full of shite. G2 looked better before, and if you ran that final again 100 times, they'd probably win it more times than T1. That's not to devalue what T1 did especially since they're clearly better than the other 6 teams, but please rate teams off their gameplay and not JUST their results in hindsight.

I don't think sideshow said that because the grand finals were so close but rather because he said G2 were doing better the entire tournament in comparison to t1, but that take is so bullshit man like yeah in swiss stage definitely but in playoffs t1 started showing up heavy, they are downplaying t1 like t1 had a cindrella run , t1 didn't have a cindrella run, they improved on their game with every match they played and that's how they got good , g2 even had map veto and let's be real t1 would have won on both the bind and fracture as well, if t1 had some pretty normal games before the finals and then went on to win then it would have been true but this didn't happen. This happened with acend and that's why it's a fraudulent win like they had a pretty normal tornament and then dropped a giga banger performance against gambit to win it, that's fraudulent. Cause if u apply sideshow logic then we can even to some extent say that this happened even in the champs 23 where the best team of the tournament didn't win which was prx or Fnatic

yeah its deffo more ab the consistency. i think it still makes it an upset bcos of the run up to the GF and they were 2nd seed from apac so like you could think of it that way. i see where hes coming from as G2 shouldnt be worried that theyre not one of the best they easily and arguable should have won it like you said w the veto n the timings they are favoured more. but T1 as of rn are the best team even tho G2 looked more consistent. they failed to deliver when it mattered.

well the answer as to why he does this is very simple; he has casted for NA/Americas for... how many years now? 2? 3? obviously he will have a bias to the region, and a very extreme one at that, because i assume he doesnt watch every region like he watches NA. this means he will always be biased to the region, to the point of delusion. its like cheering for your favourite team, except for him its the WHOLE region. so obviously he is desperate to see them do well. it is really hard to separate your subjective views from the rational answer, you need to be a really strong person to do that, especially if you don't want to admit that your opinion might actually be wrong. and here, sideshow had the opportunity to bias to NA because it was a "close grand finals" between T1 and G2, so in his mind, despite probably knowing that T1 did better at the end of the tournament, his subjective view was that G2 is better because G2 is NA, and he cheers for NA.

Nobody ever claim that GenG was the best team in Madrid (they were until the grand final, where they lost. So they are not, GF is part of the event. Hell its the most important one, hence GenG is not the best team in Madrid) yet when its NA lost they make this stupid claim.

GenG have a better claim to be the best team in Madrid than G2 here. Considering GenG did not lose a single game until the GF and actually beat sentinels before.(Disclaimer , only a lunatic would claim GenG is the best team in Madrid, they lost when it matters. Im not saying they are, im just saying claiming G2 is the best here is even worst) while G2 dropped a game to EDG and another to T1. What do you mean they are the best?

Its insanity, and these type of people (and their social media manager) is why people hate G2. "Perfect Valorant" this, "we're actually better that". Didn't most of them also say they are better than Lev going into champs last year? Turns out one of them finish 3rd while the other didn't win a single game in playoff.

G2 looks good, until they start losing. Just because something looks clean doesn't mean its good. Otherwise they would have won multiple trophies by now. Everybody have a plan until a neon stun and slide on your face, and all you are left with is cope
