Yes but he won't come close to top 5 for the rest of the year
He's not better than any of the Vit players
I feel bad for the guy aaaaaaarhhh
Needs to be on a T1 team asap
None of the EG players are frauds
They're the most talented team NA has ever produced (not one bad player in that roster)
Asian team
EMEA team not named Fnatic
underdog team from Americas
Ethan for sure ain't no flex when he acutally played the least amount of roles on his own team.
Chronicle is actually a flex player on his team since he fills in the gaps while his teammates only play 1 role but yeah i do get the argument but overall he's played a lot of different roles and agents throughout his career.
Optic at 10 could actually be factual tbh
Aren't they the only teams that losy 2 series at the tournament they won? Yes Fpx did as well but with a sub and then didn't lose with Suygetsu.
Also weaker field
Basically only the 3rd and 4th best team of EMEA at the tournament
They ain't hungry anymore
Not making an international event might wake up them up
Champions is the only thing they really have their eyes on tho they will be the favorites to win champs no matter what
The rest
FUT
RRQ
LEV
VITALITY
TS
100T
S+ tier: Fnatic Tokyo, Champions Loud (almost flawless runs and flawless teams)
S tier: Berlin Gambit, Champions EG, Lock/in Fnatic, Reykjavik Optic, FPX Copenhagen (all of them were sort of beatable at the tournament but turned up when it mattered most and lock/in tax puts Fnatic down)
A tier: Acend Champions, Sen Reykjavik (Gambit should've probably won and first tournament tax)
(Can't rate Madrid Sen right now since I don't know how good the field actually was)
Nah Masters Tokyo Fnatic got disrespected and Masters Berlin Gambit got straight up violated
Bro knows Sen has peaked already
Saadhak is doing all of the cooking anyways make him the coach xd
But yeah the man is still way too good at the game to consider coaching
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/466/valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin
2nd best rated player at Masters Berlin behind Yay
2023 yeah his champs was awful but easily still a top 10 player in 2024
Bro got off smokes this year but Riot dragged his ass back to the role
Bro obviously only watched Loud games and let that be the only games Fnatic lost
jk
Yeah they needed to 3-0 or 3-1 since they were never gonna win map 5 due to pressure
Bruh what?
Chronicle and Nats were easily top 2 in 21'
Bro wth he has 2 masters trophies as well
I mean they were still a top 3 team so now they will for sure make Shangai
Such a bs argument man
nAts and Chronicle were not top 2 in Gambit they were top 2 in the whole world.
Chronicle dropped 73 kills in 3 maps in the grand finals at Masters Berlin (the most underrated performance ever)
Same for 2024 all 3 of them were all top 5 players in the world
Who is in the GOAT debate then?
Less and Aspas can't be in the GOAT debate since they were both carrying each other (see how dumb you look?) and Sacy definitely isn't for sure
I just don't see it happening
Better rosters have failed at winning multiple titles (Gambit, Optic and Loud)
Sen will be the team to beat from now and and you best believe teams like NRG and Fnatic are gonna come for their ass
Nah they're not winning another trophy this year
The competition is just too stacked and too hungry now
You can yap as much as you want but Lock-in will actually be remembered more than most Masters events
A lot was different but it was still a T1 international tournament organized by Riot
It also gave us the best and most memorable series in VCT history
Yes there were a lot of mid teams at the tournament but the amount of actual banger teams was still the same (The best Asian teams remained unchanged in PRX and DRX, The best Americas teams still had their core 3 in Optic, Loud and Lev and EMEA had the FPX and Fnatic core so it was even footing).
Chronicle disrespect is so annoying tbh
3 international titles
2 different teams
got cucked in 2022
Hardest role in the team
2nd best rated player at masters Berlin which they won
4th best rated players at champs 2021 (2nd place)
1.11 rating (300+ rounds) at lock-in which they won
3rd best rated at masters tokyo which they won
Lowest placement at an international tournament was 4th at champs in which he underperformed for the first time in his career
False narrative that he got carried in his title wins

2022 Marved for sure (Crashies underrated as well), Ardiis/Zyppan deserve a shout as well
2023 Jingg for sure (he was the most impactful PRX player by far and they had a very good year overall)
I still don't see them doing better than NRG and Sentinels but they can outperform G2 and C9 for sure no?
Then in playoffs anything can happen if their shooters shoot
They've got some a lot of real shooters now
Bro N4rrate?
Leo
Aspas
Alfajer
Demon1
Ethan
Lev for Americas
TH for EMEA
BLG for China
Pacific is gonna be right
Legit think they're only going to be hungry for the one thing they haven't won yet which is Champions but you know maybe not making an international event might wake up that fire again
saw their vid today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR48b6ZDQNw
Yeah these guys just aren't hungry anymore it feels like
Just some colleagues playing the game as a job (and Elma ain't really helping)
They deffo need a vibe merchant that's not the IGL suffering during the game
4/7 wins now
Fnatic lost (only 1 map ban back then)
Optic won
FPX won
Optic lost
EG lost
EG won
Sen won
Basically Pacific should come from the lower bracket if they ever wanna win a tournament lol (they can't deal with the pressure of being the favorites)
Yeah facts but one thing that remains true is that single-elimination to qualify for a major event ain't it and it should never ever happen again
Yeah since it had double-elim unlike kick-off

No hunger and drive basically
My bad on the suboptimal comp remark but I was pretty much spot on
Gen.G in Shangai in a group with Sen and Vitality and they lose to both
Easy preds
Murica
Lev
NRG
Loud
Memea
TH
VIT
FNC
Pacefic
DRX
PRX
GEN.G
Aspas
Less
Leo
F0rsaken
Mako
Don't care about language barrier or IGL they will fry
Paper Rex honorable mention as the uncrowned kings ❤️
Nah if you go by titles it's still Chronicle
Man was just a couple of rounds away from winning champs as well
Is it fair to say that EU could possibly become the dominant region in a few years when most pro players are actually just Valorant players with no CS background?
Definitely not
It's still an FPS game and Europe dominates those games
I think we will already see the resurgence of EU in the coming future (Shangai and Champs)
