Only correct answer. Idk what they put in that but that thing hits like Fanta mixed with cocaine. I get it every time I go to an italian place no matter how fancy it is.

No wait I actually don't get your point.
So you're saying that because LOUD lost aspas they're more likely to fall off compared to fnatic?

Losing Aspas definitely makes loud weaker but Fnatic is a team whose success is literally built on their innovation. If they lose that I think they would become far weaker than what Loud would be without aspas. You can argue that fnatic can still get carried by the mechanical skill of Derke and Alfa but they would be nowhere near as dominant.

Aspas isn't entirely carrying the team though. Loud now is weaker definitely but they still have a strong core to build around.

Also nobody is saying there will be a fucken downfall. I just said that if FNC doesn't fix the issues we've seen then they'll continue to be how like they were in champs.

I think champs fnatic was the worst we've seen them all year. They were getting really easily read and that's to be expected when they are being studied by everyone.

Boaster did say that by champs they were really burnt out and couldn't really come up with anything new. I don't doubt that fnatic can cook up new strategies in the upcoming year and if they do then Loud vs FNC is undoubtedly going to be the biggest rivalry.

I didn't get a single upgradeable skin this NM AND the last NM.

Im a Fnatic supporter but based on what we've seen at Champions we're getting rinsed unless Boaster cooks up something new.

On paper though, with both teams playing at their best, this is the correct answer.

Is it still just business??

Edit: I can't read

I mean it's still an awfully long time to stare into a screen.

I just feel sorry for Fnatic's eyes. 7 maps of valorant.

FNC played a match earlier today and now is coming back on stage to play a BO5. Shit's rough.

Thanks that was the one.
I found the other one you were talking about: https://twitter.com/Fang358_/status/1699376694103306634

There was a stats post on reddit a while back that showed that he had the highest clutch rate at champions or something. See if I can find it again, but bro clutches out a lot more than people think. He loses midround and early fights but that's typical of IGLs.

1) Hell freezes over
2) Fnatic plays harbour viper

Recency bias is a hell of a drug.

Okbuddy

I dont think he cares that he's not 'the best' when he's doing his job properly for his team and they're winning matches and trophies.

At this point his Raze does look better sometimes. It's more of a symptom of Fnatic's best maps all being Raze maps.

Someone who is consistently 2nd or 3rd best ITW is arguably better than someone who is first for a brief period and then falls off a cliff.

bro won a whole tournament on Raze only.

Genuine question. Aside from the name and prize money is there actually any real difference between a masters title and a champions title?
The main thing I can think of is that for champions everyone starts on the same starting blocks, but in most cases it would be the higher seeds from each region getting through anyways (like how in champs 2023 none of the LCQ teams made it out of groups).
The other one is that maybe champs being later on means weaker teams have shown more of their playbook and it tests which teams has more depth?

He's like Derke for fnatic. Can hype up the team when it comes down to it.

This makes me sad. Laz is still a really good Chamber and Dep still has a lot of potential. I hope at least Dep gets picked up somewhere and they get some discipline into him because I think that's his main issue. Man can click heads.

Was just gonna say. This guy is my age and Twisten is even younger and it really puts things into perspective that we're not invincible. Take care of yourselves guys.

Hands off the roster holy shit. If FNC even breathes on this roster I’m supporting KARMINE Corp.

Think the team is fine. Boaster just needs to cook over the off-season

That final transcended the game. It was a straight up life lesson about perseverance.

As a FNC fan bait like this is why i have a Vitality flair

Sydney so I can watch matches at a reasonable time.

Please?

Rn EG beats Fnatic. Tokyo FNC vs LA EG would be close but FNC probably wins. FNC rn is plagued by mistakes and predictability but back before everyone figured them out they were pretty close to watertight.

This site is literally 90% baiters hating on whichever team is fashionable to hate on rn lmao.

Ggwp to Loud. They all played giga well and I hope Fnatic learn and improve for next year. Thanks for giving us 3 maps

My pronouns are He/his/Leo because Leo is him

0.06

He doesn't take himself too seriously and I always respect multitalented people. he's a showman and he's a decent IGL. Even after his esports career he can probably do well in streaming. He might not be the best fragger but he's an all round good dude and I think that's why he has a massive following. After all ,these tournaments are for entertainment first and foremost, and I don't see how him trying to liven up the mood is a problem.

Some people like edgy players like Demon1 and that's ok cos I see the appeal. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

What you dont want to see Saadhak's pound cake?

Ok now we need FNC to lose and the Saadhak to do it back to him

Please

I said please

THAT"s EUROPE'S ASS

Well played from Boaster though.

I mean imo FNC is the cockroach of pro valorant. They get stomped, die, and then still come back next year to do it all again.

Yea this is piss poor fundamentals from them. I support FNC and I still think they're the weakest out of the top 4 in the current form by far. Idk if they got cocky or they just got solved.

Stands in own molly
Stares down 3 people
Kills 2 of them
Goes down to own molly so the enemy team doesnt get orbs

Not the aim. The aim is ok. The fundamentals are AWFUL this tournament and that was their biggest strength.

Ah well at least it's not 13-1

I agree. The fundamental this tournament has been awful. They threw 2 rounds this half alone and this easily could have been 8-4 in the other direction if they played those rounds right.

Even if FNC wins like this Im not happy. This is garbage valorant.

Im just here for good valorant. Idrc who wins as long as both teams play well and I get a good game

Called the map pool

I want Tokyo FNC vs Champs 22 LOUD. It would suck if either of them just falls over.

Do it for Jingg!
