Ill be honest I havent watched much VAL outside Brazil BUT
I have no idea how they are winning stuff?
Some very strange and uncoordinated plays, almost looked like they were trolling this entire Masters
ANGE1 random push plays when team had 2 OPs, teammates overpeeking a lot
ANGE1 3-16 in FK against DRX and he wasnt even playing duelists/chamber
Reyling on individual performances
HOW IS THAT TEAM WINNING IN EMEA?????
Watch them with their full roster and you will see. When they have subs they rely on joyous whimsy. When they had subs for Challengers 1 Ange1 was playing Jett and challenging every gunfight (and they still won), but with their full team I feel like they play coordinated and they are incredible at it.
FPX is a anti-strat team that changed their comp up week to week -> you cant antistrat them yourself
This worked amazingly in a weekly format like you had in EMEA since there was prep time, but is def pushed to its limit when you only have 1-2 days to prepare.
We'll see if them having a full roster is gonna help them out.
Yeah bc valorant is a role game whereas cs and other esports are all rounder games. In val everyone has to do a function to a certain degree, so teams get accustomed to play the game around their teammates. If a player comes in they will play their role differently and it will change the entire in game chemistry of a team.
