You're familiar with that problem
Yo did you change flair or am I tripping?
Yeah you had the Sen flair and realized xd

ALL THEY DID WAS LEARN HOW TO ANTI-STRAT FNATIC ALL YEAR LONG

Fpx 3-1 Optic Gaming
Yay ain't saving shit

rah

I kinda hope so

Should give that advice to your own players

Turkey superteam?

Vitality?
Koi?

NA?

I think most of us just want Paper Rex to win the whole thing and don't care too much about today but respect Loud more even though they've owned us this tournament

Their kryptonite
They own any other team though

PTSD

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NA V EU TODAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LOUD OWNED OUR WHOLE REGION FFS

Lmao at least Paper Rex was at the tournament and finished top 3 by beating Optic's core and taking 2 games of EG.
Only Fnatic managed to obliterate Paper Rex with a sub.

Optic won while Fpx wasn't at the tournament and got owned by them when they faced each other at the next event.

His peak is kinda underrated no?
At least top 5 of all time

Loud v EG feels dead I'm still excited for the grand finals tho

5 + 1 game changers as well so it's 6-3 for now
You guys got some catching up to do

It feels dead but I'm gonna watch regardless

Imma be watching these games as a neutral or not?

Who do I have to support guys? tell me

Like how on earth can Fpx be the most forgettable major winner with everything they went through that tournament.
They couldn't play masters reykjavik due to political reasons, they had to play with a sub till they had only 1 life left in Copenhagen and managed to pull off the lower bracket run and ended it with an insane BO5 win against Paper Rex in the grand finals.
If anything they're the most memorable major winners ever.

Yeah I can agree with that but most people just erased that major from their mind since it was dominated by 1 region.

Fpx with the most insane run in valorant history after having to play with a sub is forgettable?
Super exciting 5 games grand finals is forgettable?
What are you smoking?

Champions 2021 was straight up EMEA dominance with a sprinkle of Krü magic so I guess that's why you guys don't wanna remember it.

You don't remember the best run from a team ever?
Yeah must be an EMEA hater

Ahaha for real man

Nah they should just play their old Comp again
You know the one they won 13-0 against EG

Ban Fracture
Ban Haven
Ascent EG win
Split Loud win
Pearl EG win
Lotus Loud win
Bind Loud win

Whut I would love that but they were the opposite of W gaming

Nooooo Derkeeeee needed one more series

If your region had to make a roster to play the Paper Rex W gaming playstyle which players would fit best on that roster?

We get the exact same situation as Fpx v Drx last year.

Fpx lost to Drx twice in playoffs and that cost them a chance at winning champions now the same thing happened with Fnatic and Loud.

Pretty confident both of them could've beaten the other teams
Fpx v Optic would've for sure been in favor of Fpx but Fpx v Loud would've been a banger that could've gone either way
Fnatic v EG would've for sure been in favor of Fnatic but Fpx v Prx would've been a banger that could've gone either way.

But kryptonites exist and you need to be able to beat any team if you wanna become champions.

Where Navi fan?

We blame Navi for throwing that 6-1 lead on Bind

It should've been Navi this whole time lmao

They beat them in a grand finals and won another international trophy

Yeah and Fnatic would be a close 2nd.

How are they not the best team of 2023?
Ok whoever wins champs will be in the debate but I would still give the edge to Fnatic with how dominant their run was till champions.
They still dominated 2/3rds of the year

Just Loud yeah

Back-to-back world champions in front of their home crowd with a reverse sweep win = undeniable best team in the world. Major tournament.

Instead we got the Fnatic comeback so everyone started calling it a Mickey Mouse tournament to cope with EMEA winning another international trophy.

Who cares about single Elim? Traditional sports is single Elim, league of legends world championship has always been single Elim. It's even harder to win a tournament that is single elimination and coming back from the 3-11 in game 5 of a grand finals in the opponent's backyard after being 2-0 up is a feat as impressive as it can get.

Hahahaha true

Humbling Loud/EG in a grand finals?

All jokes aside I respect Loud a lot and hope the best for them. Hope they give us some banger series.

EG a bit less but they've got players like Ethan and C0M who are actually really likeable and are elite at their role Dawgemo as well.

and Fnatic

Give me a reason why and I might consider it

At least we've got one broski
I hope pacific wins this one so NA is left behind with 0

WE WILL GET 2 EMEA TEAMS IN GRAND FINALS IN FRONT OF OUR HOME CROWD

Just wait and enjoy the show

That's fully on themselves
If they just stay calm and peak him at the same moment he's got close to no chance of winning 1v2 there against Derke and Chronicle

Loud was reading them like a book which isn't that hard considering they run the same comps, same pistol strats, same executes all year long with no change.

Don't fix if it's not broken mentality backfired badly this tournament

Not innovating was their downfall this Champions for sure

That's a terrible mindset and the reason why they only changed their Fracture by incorporating the Sova because that's the only map they lost in Tokyo.

They didn't play the Jett maps in Tokyo so how did we know it wasn't broken?
They lost Ascent and Haven (Jett maps) to Team Liquid in the EMEA grand finals and that was the last time we saw those maps till now at champions.

They could've at least put some time into Pearl to float it against teams that aren't known for their Pearl

He needs to be the carry on the team
That's where he shines the brightest like on Gambit

BRO EG FIXED 4 OF THEIR MAPS IN BETWEEN TOKYO AND NOW

FNATIC COULDN'T FIX ONE?

If they managed to innovate like every other top team at the tournament
Same comps, same strats, same pistols, same executes, same map pool,...
Blame is on themselves 100%

I might be delusional but getting top 4 when every other team knows exactly what you're gonna do is kinda insane. (they know which map you're gonna ban and pick, which pistol strats you're gonna use, which executes you have, post plant positions everything was old and used it felt like)

EG changed their Bind, Split, Lotus and Pearl and had the same amount of time as Fnatic after Tokyo.

Loud and Drx learned how to play Lotus from scratch (did have a bit more time)
Navi changed their roles up for Lcq and champs.

Paper Rex plays whatever the fuck they want.

While Fnatic still didn't find a way to even consider pearl or new comps or even new strats?
I know it backfired on Bind but that's 1 game.

Still has to be
Leo/Alfajer

Demon1 unless Something wins champs
