this same thing has happened in CS and League of legends, people taking a big bag then their stocks tanking horribly

???

Now does he get marriage buff or debuff

Genuine question, what is your plan then? are you gonna be LFT while being immortal 3 and hope to make it big? if not then you're also going to be a modern slave. Welcome to the real world

stopped reading at uwukitten but thanks!

Hell not even 2 trophies, the winner of the master before champions has NEVER won champions, consistency is barely a thing in this game

I love FNS but i actually think John is more of a complete IGL than FNS was, FNS was a genius IGL but an ult orb in game

I kinda touched on it a bit in another reply i left under this but these people aren't gen.g or SEN fans, only gen.g and SEN haters, and no matter which team lost they would've have ripped that team apart. That is sadly just the way it goes

Yeah i'm sure it was just people capitalizing on hate, but at the same time realize what i'm saying isn't a shot at gen.g or their fans, but moreso the people who constantly only root against other teams. Most of the people you're seeing arent gen.g or SEN fans, only people that hate both teams and would've clowned either despite the outcome

I don't understand this take because this happens to literally EVERY team EVERYWHERE, Talon and FUT were getting shit on yesterday, neither of those teams lost to SEN?

Genuine question for the people downvoting, can you show me threads of people defending SEN after losing to Gen.G talking about respecting them for being Master winners? I'm open to being proven wrong, don't show any troll threads either

They def deserve respect but you have to understand this is what happens on both sides, when Gen.G beat SEN i didn't see any threads about respecting SEN. I saw SEN getting flamed and called overrated.

Ok Loud were def the best team ITW at the end but they also were grouped by optic at copenhagen so going into champs they were NOT the favorites to win it all

aged amazingly LMAOO

Hell who am i to question your delusion, have fun.

"SEN won't beat FPX"
2-0 FPX
"It's ok SEN still get shit on by GEN.G"
2-0 GEN.G

Who next? Yall said this shit all last year with EG too

Nah lets not try with the gas lighting people were saying shit like SEN were the worst team at champs LMAOO

People were calling them the worst team in the tournament brother

Title
Not bad for the worst team at the tournament no?

Yeah thats cool and all but i'm sure the players care a lot more about winning this match. Don't think Texture would be happy going home with his "Atleast im better than Zekken" Trophy

Alright settle down brother

lol

Just to think people were saying SEN were the worst team at the tournament smh

Than the previous master winners getting grouped? def not, would be the first time in history it happens

G2 at 6? Damn top 3 at the last international event must not mean shit

Kept the receipts W

Nah i understand completely i mean shit i'm a MxS fan (Third biggest chokers in Americas)

i know it sucks but i mean atleast be happy it was a much better year than the last right? Shows they're improving atleast

True they will def be stronger next year, hopefully they don't fall behind in CN

I think majority of the community thought that the reigning champs were gonna beat TH....Who they beat to become the reigning champs don't think thats a very hot take tbh

True but i'll continue screaming into the void

True and anyone whose competed in any sport or hell even video game know that its always slightly easier to play against teams and people you know are better than you, because its less pressure you're putting on yourself to win

I know they're getting trashed pretty hard but do consider how much easier it must've been for them to lock in vs a team like TH which they were 90% sure they lose to in a non elimination match, as opposed to fighting with their year on the line. I know they're pros and they should be adjusted, but nerves are the biggest enemy in any form of competition and this team is still pretty damn young

Likely both, SEN definitely look like they've gained form as much as people don't want to admit that, meanwhile FPX seem nervous and shaky, pressure may be catching up to them. I'd imagine its much easier to play a match you're expecting to lose and won't face immediate elimination for losing as opposed to your year being on the line

hey wait but all week i've been hearing FPX was gonna do that, is this an EG situation where its gonna be "The next team they face will end their luck"

as an NA fan i cant say i'd be too shocked, i saw envy get grouped by X10 then the same core do the same thing 2 years later vs BLG dont shit phase me anymore

One more take we're missing

No team can ever be counted out against ANYONE

This exactly, i always look to the anomaly that is KRU making literally every single champions even in their literal winless season. Some teams just pick up steam way later or way earlier than others, but one thing that is always inevitable in valorant is that they run out

I actually kinda agree with this, last year we had this a lot where teams would perform lights out vs international teams but still be haunted by their regional demons

VLR doesn't overrate or underrate a team after the first match of the tournament? You'd think after all the unexplainably random shit that happens in this game people wouldn't be so reactive. Teams will literally have a champions winner level game one week and then look like an ascendant 5 stack the next, there's no real consistency

Also idk if this isn't as common in other countries as it is in the USA but when someone does something unbelievable like that in most american sports they're usually tested the very next day LMAO

agreed because i'm 99% sure doping has been covered up for the USA too, which is why it is very much the pot calling the kettle black

Probably because its literally been proven that in the past China and global authorities have covered up doping for China, not saying they haven't for other countries either but it makes sense why

You said They, there was never any context or implication that implied that this was about the fans brother

so because they rose for a month and won a trophy THEY thought they had a fnatic dynasty? First time i'm hearing of this. You must have some insider info

Flyquest international LAN jerseys are usually always fire

solo rifle buy on a usually more economy focused round

wtf are you whaffling about

But the west is improivng quite a bit? G2 while not changing their core roster have changed a lot from the guard that was getting 2-0ed by PRX and 2-1ed by Optic 2 years ago. Fnatic went from playing second fiddle to running the league for a year. Every year every region is improving and if the last two days have taught us anything its that the gaps aren't as big as they once were for anyone.

aged well lmao
