It's NRG, their core is known for having slow starts... Always happen this to them and they just bounce back and have revenge to go throught to playoffs

well, i dont agree with this franchise system and the amercias being all one, it gives NA less chance with good quality teams specially in the challengers, there are really good teams there, that could compete against frachised teams. Although having all those teams together, makes the americas's matches much more entertaining for sure.

While EMEA is really 2/3 teams just completly on another lvl from everyone else and thats not really fun tbh

Riot considers every international as a major, so why would anyone else wouldnt?

Chora mais bocado, ainda com muitos pesadelos do Lockin?

NA didnt do so "bad". Only team that disappointed were Loud. EG were the team no one expected and played world calss valorant and cannot say much of NRG, they also played very well and could have taken PRX, was a very, very close match. The only game NRG didnt stand a chance was agaisnt fnatic.

EMEA was way worst, but thats what everyone expected really since the beggining of the year. We would expect just 2 EMEA teams to do something in international events, although everyone expect NAVI instead of Liquid, but i think thats due their own mistake of always changing roles.

How can you say fnatic are lucky with all that? All teams made their signings. NRG made contract with the 3 core of Optic, just yay chose to sign to C9 and Marved wanted a break. For sure NRG were prepared to get the full roster. Also in this jett meta, i believe Yay would and certainly did not to expectations... Now chamber meta comming back, i believe he can come back o the top if any team t1 team wants him.

All that fnatic is doing this year is due their own credit. Everyone in that team can pop up at any moment and own the server. In NA the team i support is NRG cause of that core and i was very keen to see NRG vs fnatic for the first time. In that game it was very one sides and i was expecting that since NRG couldnt prep too much against fnaitc, but also felt like NRG were on an off day. They were purely out aimed and i know they are capable of more.

Os pesadelos do lockin, depois de perder em terreno nacional. Percebo e boa sorte com os Loud na champions, eles teem muito mais para mostrar do que fizeram em Tokyo.

For sure, lock in was a tournament with a very poor format, although is the tournament with the most teams. Sure ppl will say since majority of the teams were new and bairly played together, but the same happened to fnatic. They added 2 new players aswell and did an incredible run and ppl still kept saying it was a lucky run, now with tokyo, ppl wont say that anymore. Now the teams and fans will fear fnatic on champions.

Tbh, in my opinion any international stage is a big major. Ppl will complain now but i see any masters the same as champions. Champions only have few extra teams with less quality. The pressure of any international event is the same, being champions or not.

After what Alfa did on Tokyo, we can say he is the best in word in the sentinel role. The guy stepped up game after game in this event. GZ to fnatic and also gz to EG, they did a magnificent run this tournament and just to think that they werent suposed to to qualify to playoffs.

Now fnatic goal is champions!

I think fnatic are very confident on fracture and will play the map and beat EG to break their mental. in my opinion, fnatic will most likely ban ascent instead, since theiy are not as strong

No, you are! you're the best!

People forgets what Ardiis was capable of with Chamber last year...

Derke is on the top 3 duelist of the world atm. he is one of the very few duelist that can atually play jett and raze on a very high level, while most of the teems swap roles. Fnatic with this roster have 4 players with the aim of demon1, if not better. Derke doesnt need to show up every game cause his team is too good and that showed already in this masters. Like leo for example, against PRX, he was so quiet while derke poped off and against EG it was the complete oposite. Stop trying to measuring d***s and just appreciate the players.

Not saying that Demon1 isnt a great player, he has been showing lot of highlights and potencial to grow, same as EG, for sure they are the revelation of the the year.

EG are the surprise of tournament for sure. People talk about demon1 aim and he is going to own everyone, but people forget fnatic has 4 demon1

That EMEA final doesnt mean anything... Fnatic spent all group and playoffs playing the same stuff since lock in. Everyone that knows fnatic, is aware that they like to make new stuff, and obviously they didnt show it yet.

Im a fnatic fan 1st and i support NRG in americas, if fnatic dont win the tournament i would like to NRG win it. But in this game, since its the 1st time these 2 teams meet and fantic didnt show anything new yet, i think NRG will have a hard time since they are a team that likes to prepare against the team they play.

Anyway, im sure it will be a really good match and unfortunately i wont watch it live since its going to be 4am for me.

Its a shame that EDG campaign will most likely end against Loud tomorrow. They have been very entertaining to watch and put up quite the fight. Also kangkang is playing at a world class level, i missed watching proper op duels and kangkang as showed a lot this masters.

I support Fnatic and Alfa is a really good player, but he is still young and does few mistakes. he is on the top already on the best sentinels conversation. But i dont say he is the number 1 yet, i believe the top 2 now are Suygetsu and Less.

sabes que org fnatic é das mais sucedidas de todos os Esports nao sabes? se nao sabes, és bem novinho ou és ignorante... Porque nenhuma org brasileira chega aos calcanhares a nivel de premios que fnatic ja ganhou em todos os Esports

secret only won the 1st map cause they eliminated nats completly, landing all kinds of randoms headshots on him.
