lol first NTH has to win agains fpx. No easy feat.
and don't forget, Fnatic just won 3x against fpx, what makes someone think they couldn't do it of they were to meet again? specially without suygetsu?

i think they do this on purpose.
imagine semi finals with 3 emea teams? they probably think they would lose viewership.
so this way, the probability of having multiple regions on semis is bigger.

soooo...
seems like fnatic vs fpx might really be in the books assuming they beat northeption lol
WTF -_-

rooting for them as well

Good point actually. it should be a rule!

probably yes.
or tomorrow morting tops!

As an EMEA fan (not that I dont enjoy watching other regions cause I do) nothing would suck more
than to get Fnatic agains another EMEA team right in the first round of playoffs.

After playing Fpx for 9 maps in the last 2 months or so, it would suck.
It would also suck to watch them face Guild, because that would mean one of them would go to the lower bracket right away.

Anyway. Super excited. The matches have been fucking awesome.

no problem wiggs! ;)

trust me. I'm not.
Just try to grow up and stop making stupid takes.
have a nice day

see? youre the culmination of a stupid person.

yeah. don't bother to read. it will make you smarter and i like you the way you are. DUMB LOL xD

Its a shit opinion.
at least explain " in this game, shao is carrying" lol would better no?
Youre like falling out of the sky with the "shao and friends" lol when many other players carried the team so much times.
and proceded to say "title" lol.
what a low iq, low effort stupid take.

admit it

i complain about whatever i want dude.
learn to respect criticism and grow from it. instead of trying to downplay everyone who doesnt like your stupid take

HAHA mental breakdown lol
nah i'm ok. worry about you.
it just sucks that this forum was overtaken by stupid kids with stupid takes trying to ratio everyone else, instead of genuine game discussion.

Still dude. the match barely started.
you just made a shit take. own it at least.

You have to be a professional idiot to say something like that.
how many times we've seen ardiis top fragging? Suygetsu? even age1?? lol

Don't post shit like that dude.
that's why this forum is a shitpile of all sorts.

vlr as a website is great for info tho.

Easy there bozo.
not over yet

doesnt mean they are winning champs man. thats a fucking long strech imo

yes

nah bro

Lets go GUILD!!!!!!! 💪💪💪

Valorant is not a CSGO retirment game i think.
You may have many players that came from CS but you also have tons and tons of new kids and upcomming pro players that played cs not that much or nothing at all.

really close but Derke for me!

dont worry bros.
David beckham is rich AF.
Guild will not disapear tomorrow. I guess

Fnastic and FPZ take forst ans second palce for me.
This G2 roster has also tremendous firepower. underrated I think.
What they lack ins not firepower thats for sure.

From NA, I liked NRG and Ghost.
Ofc Optic and xset are up there as well in terms of firepower.

Fnatic hater by any chance?

I feel that FPX vs Optic would be a great match up.
And Fpx can definitely get a W!!

359

I'm i the only one with the feeling that they weren't even showing all their strats and set ups?
Might be me

nahhh
guild can win. thats possible. but not "confidenntly". It will be a close match win for Guild at best, I believe.
Still FNC takes the W imo. 80%sure

so looking forward to this match!
unfortunately i'll be working at the time it starts.
gotta see if I can seak a peek here and there

im a fan what can I say lol.

was a super funny stream tho

Guys, check Derke's last stream vod.
First game was a duo with Mistic.
Second was a 5 stack of Enzo, Derke, Alfajer and Mistic with a random Brimstone on Fracture hahaha they 13-4 some dudes.
The third game was also a 4 stack with the same fnc members together with their coach, Mini. Demolished another 5 poor dudes on icebox 13-1 xD

They all chose super wird roles and comps and the games were so fucking funny .

Fnc haven is underrrated.
on stage one they 13-4 to acend.
on second stage they 13-4 OGLU.

Again, acend was not in their best form at the time, and OG is not a top top tier 1 team, but still.
They play raze now. And Raze is alfajer don't forget.

they would cerntainly do better than get 13-oned by guild.

In my book they could very well take the W on that map

Am I on the minority who thinks the map is actually cool?

thanks

Hes like that dude who's allways waiting and lurking to see if someone makes a mistake or does something he considers wrong, just to jump in and tell everyone how the person is wrong and bad lol.

He's not a journalist. nowhere near that.
To act moraly superior to others is not journalism imo.

Derke statswise was the top player on champs,
top player on stage one in 2022, top player on stage two as well and he's still underrated here. LOL

shouldn't this game be a Bo5??

Don't intend to shit on Focus, but ma boys at fnatic are looking too strong rn.
FNC 2:0.

this fnatic looks considerably stornger than the one with Braveaf and magnum even tho i liked those players a lot.
I mean, now, they have this dude who's in the same caliber of Derke, in the frag department. they look so strong, I mean, second week sraight they are the top 2 players stats wise, in the whole tournament. lol
Also, might not be seen as flashy as alfa but Enzo seem to be bringing a much better awareness mid round to the team.
Even their mental seems stronger like, if they lose 4 or 5 rounds in a row, they don't lose their shit immediately.
as a fnc fan, this roster is the best one yet

We know Enzo is really good.
But this Alfajer seems to be really cracked, for sentinel player.
Let's see if his numbers will translate good agins tier 1 teams.

would put yay above scream and forsaken. other than that W list

remember me?

hey remember me?

Boaster did a lot of mistakes. But he can be really good also.
The mistakes he made were consequence of the lack of strategy and emotions running high on the stage i feel.

Even if the subs did good stats wise, you can definitely tell that the team coordination, confidence and timmings were so off dude. thats was NOT THE REAL FNATIC. It was a mix, a prototype.

kills aren't everything you know?

with the full roster, derke and brave, i would put them in the finals tho.

Hope boaster and the rest of the guys come back stronger. and please, bring Brave back.

You cannot tell with 100 accuracy to what extent the masch was a result of fnatic faults or nip mertis,
but you can't deny this is NOT the same fnatic we saw on the group stage of challangers.
where are the fine and coorditated strats? where are the smal micro plays? flashes through smokes?
traps on mid ascent? shook darts to heaven with kj ult to funnel enemies?
where is the 80+ kills on a bo3 duelist?

dude... comon

2 subs is too much.
even one might bring a lot of bad timmings, com probles etc.
Fearoth was good tho, wich gives me a bit of hope.
if they win agains zeta (wich i think they can do) Derke will be able to join for the rest of the games as his quarentine ends on wednesday.

then fnc will have a better chance, but still. ma boy brave is soo good. he fitted in the team like a glove ...

Is Derke playing or what?

From what we've seen yesterday from Xerxia, this will be a fucking bangger!
Lets go liquid!! EMEA on top!

From watching the NA scene, one would assume Optic would make it far in the tournament. But now, I just don't know.
Props to Xerxia, they played really well tho.
Still favouring OG to beat KRU!
