FNCs win wasted on EMEA

Its so sad that the one time FNC wins a tourney, they bring about an entire season of mediocrity to come. Not from FNC themselves but the fact that theyve secured another slot for EMEA is depressing. I honestly dont think any team in EMEA right now as their teams stand (other than TL) will be able to compete at the top level. All the teams just scream mediocre.
I think Americas is clearly the most stacked region and they definitely deserve that 4th slot more than EMEA and Pacific

Stacked for ascension, franchised not so much, only NRG is a top team, 100t can be a contender for top, SEN has potential but needs more time, C9 and EG back to the bottom🗿

yea but you need to remember its Americas, not NA.
LOUD and LEV are both p much guaranteed to qualify and right after id say is NRG and below them SEN/100T. SEN and 100T both would beat majority of the EMEA teams present at Lock In

Sen won't win vs any emea team as long as they have d0phh on the team, you put sen in americas ascension league and they won't qual either. Tenz/sacy/pancada/zekken are wasting their time with a tier 3 igl

not really
based on what we've seen there's noticeable gaps in all 3 regions between the top and the mid teams

EMEA has NaVi and Fnatic atm, Americas have Loud and NRG and Pacific have DRX

The one thing id note is that the brazilian teams (mainly furia) are ahead in terms of meta (and could very well be considered top tier because of it) since they and loud have incorporated harbor well on maps (especially Louds icebox comp being amazing af); but other teams should be able to catch up till the next international in that regard

Talent wise its just impossible to compare the region's teams atm since the tourneys format was only good for finding out who the best team was, with anything below being based on our personal judgement rather than results

I highly doubt FUT is 8th in EMEA with the way they played. Even if they are tho it was pretty clear 100T could easily win but they were under the stress from the tournament and they were choking. It was their theme the entire tourney and it is what it is. They need to gain their confidence again and get back to the level they were at in Champs cause weve already seen what level these players can play at.

its simple your region is weaker than emea in this tournament accept the fact and move on even KC who is considered by many users here as a weaker team only lost to Loud (the finalist and former champion) so your point doesn't make any sense you can't judge teams based on this tournament alone because if we do that then TL is weaker than KC based on their performance and stats

SEN were literally the only team apart from loud and Navi that put up a decent fight.
100T constantly threw and they started winning rounds on Icebox when FNC were just absolutely trolling.
Furia pulled out a weird ass comp tho i will give them credit on haven they are really good tho i dont think theyre much more than that. FNC didnt play too well against Furia but they looked super solid and drilled against SEN.
With the way Navi got rolled tho id comfortably claim that SEN are pretty good near the top of NA.

yea but it isnt because theyre bad but because they were choking hard. Weve already seen 100T play at a high level but since sean left they just havent had the confidence to play the way they did before. Its like a fighter jett without a pilot.

I'm not saying they're not a good team, they're have one of the best coaches in valorant (imo) and amazing fragging power, I'm saying there's currently a gap between them and Loud/NRG

Their split defense was completely fine, Sen were a pretty standardly good team but they went against the sharpest spear in valorant history. FNC are just that much better, weve seen them destroy other teams on other maps, hell they even rolled an insane team like Navi. By the end of the game Navi looked like they were just stuck, it was similar to how sen just didnt know what to do to adapt to a team that just shoots you whenever you try anything, or brim ults, fade seizes, kayo flashes, and flanks 3 of your team in one go before they have a chance to react.
Sen looked worse cause of how well FNC read and adapted to everything sen were doing. Sen had holes and you just cant have that against FNC, they also could use their insane talent to out aim FNC cause its pretty much an even or slightly leaning towards FNC (heavily on the day) in terms of mechanical talent.
FNC stuck with their core while Sen are p much a shell of Xset + better players. Ofc FNC were gonna win 10/10 times

There are so many variables that you have to take into account, a team cant be 100% every game and sometimes they even fall to less than 50% of their typical level but that doesnt mean theyre a bad team, they just need to bounce back.
Lev wouldve put up a really good fight against Navi had they been playing the way they did in their match against Zeta. Zeta didnt even look bad as well, Lev were just that much better

you see the problem is the exact same thing you gave lev could be applied to other teams too. "Giants should have rolled NRG if they had outplayed nrg like they did Detonation, just a bad game, clearly they are better" - its just a pointless argument.
This tournament Lev were not a top tier team for their region; whether it was them underperforming, or whatever tf factor it was (we quite simply dont know), they didn't preform like Loud did.

But yes, technically the only team we know for certain that was good is fnatic, every other team is a question mark to some extend since it was single elim

NRG isnt really ahead of LEV i just think they are a little better. And SEN isnt ahead of anyone they just have big names. They cant even beat their t2 scene and they didnt look like a match for FNC. 100T are good but they still barely won against one of the weakest EMEA teams. Saying they are 1000% ahead is delusional

thats just your bias speaking if thats the case. Literally 2 EMEA teams made it past the second stage and only 2 more even got to participate in the second stage. Keep in mind EMEA has 2x the amount of teams that NA does. The only NA team that didnt make second stage was Sentinels and they lost to the dominant champions of lockin

Its crazy how some of you can be so unbelievably biased that you actually believe the shit you say.
I love EMEA teams and FNC are fs in contention for my number 1 team but I know when theyre shit and when they arent.

thats an inane assessment cause there wasnt any proof that Giants played objectively worse or substantially worse against NRG than they did against DFM.
If you cant understand simple argument like that then there isnt a point in arguing cause to you clearly results are all that matter.
If a team loses in the first round then that must mean theyre worse than every team that made the second round. Its such an elementary way of thinking and its crazy how many of you think that way.
You assess the game, not the scoreboard. Thats how analysts are made and thats how they get jobs and become credible. Thats why you see so many knowledgeable people talk about how some games were closer than the scoreline would suggest

im not shitting on FNCs win at all. If anything theyre the only team i wanted to win the event bar DRX (tho I knew DRX were never gonna win).
The region just is average its a fact. They didnt look impressive at all and so many top EMEA players werent even picked up for franchising, instead we got losers like starxo taking a spot on KOI.
Also yes I am judging the teams based on 1 game, but again the world isnt black and white kid. You can give different treatment to different scenarios IF theres justification.
I cant justify judging every team on just 1 game but lets take TL for example. On paper they should be a top contender in EMEA but they werent. We could say ofc maybe they had a bad game against TS, but what are the chances of that? Did TS rlly do anything after beating TL? Did TS look impressive or did TL look lost? If thats what bad looks like for TLs standards, could their good really look that much better?
Its the most basic questions like this that you ask yourself when taking into account the skill of a team. I have in my head all the justifications and ive spread my opinion. If you wanna refute it then give me facts, explain to me why im wrong. The fact that almost no one has done that yet just proves my point

yeah i get where you coming from its just that its harder to judge teams especially in this tournament where most of the teams are new

ofc but theyve had a while to practice. We shouldnt see teams like Heretics or DFM that have literally 0 substance. We can extrapolate by looking at the minute details. It wont be completely accurate but its better than bias

And yet they ended up having a significantly worse performance vs NaVi than for example KC did vs Loud (and I do not rate KC highly to put my opinion on them kindly)
I'm not saying they're not a good team, they're have one of the best coaches in valorant (imo) and amazing fragging power, I'm saying there's currently a gap between them and Loud/NRG

leviatan is one of the best americas team imo, they have 5 brilliant players that everyone can ace at any moment

LOUD
Lev
NRG

MIBR (on paper)
EG (well made strats that just need more developing)
SEN

All these teams I feel will be better than the EMEA competitors tho, I feel like I saw much more from them. I have no hope for KOI, i never thought they were good to begin with and i dont expect them to get better. Giants have potential but not the potential like the teams i mentioned above

Pacific has been getting much better. Zeta looked really good, Talon far exceeded the XIA team and I was amazed that they looked to almost be going toe to toe with DRX and PRX will also come back as long as they dont troll.
Funny enough Pacific were the ones with the greatest jump in talent from single teams. Talon and Zeta are looking really solid and fundamentally sound, esp Talon. I think they could genuinely dethrone DRX (Maybe Zeta doing that is a reach but i believe Talon could)

I actually don't think this tournament was enough to decide which region are more stacked.

the 2 facts that we get from this tournament is

1- LOUD can be the best team in the world again with this new core (if not the best, at least in the top 3 easily)
2- China def doesn't deserve 2 free slots to Masters Tokyo

AMERICAS - LOUD / NRG (who looked really good from start to end)

not really
based on what we've seen there's noticeable gaps in all 3 regions between the top and the mid teams

EMEA has NaVi and Fnatic atm, Americas have Loud and NRG and Pacific have DRX

The one thing id note is that the brazilian teams (mainly furia) are ahead in terms of meta (and could very well be considered top tier because of it) since they and loud have incorporated harbor well on maps (especially Louds icebox comp being amazing af); but other teams should be able to catch up till the next international in that regard

Talent wise its just impossible to compare the region's teams atm since the tourneys format was only good for finding out who the best team was, with anything below being based on our personal judgement rather than results

that's a really good point from the BR teams (curious tho, since they've always been behind on the meta)

thats just your bias speaking if thats the case. Literally 2 EMEA teams made it past the second stage and only 2 more even got to participate in the second stage. Keep in mind EMEA has 2x the amount of teams that NA does. The only NA team that didnt make second stage was Sentinels and they lost to the dominant champions of lockin

Its crazy how some of you can be so unbelievably biased that you actually believe the shit you say.
I love EMEA teams and FNC are fs in contention for my number 1 team but I know when theyre shit and when they arent.

Actually 6 teams got to the 2nd stage in emea

the fact that BR teams will now (I assume at least) regularly scrim in NA, where theres optic nrg who also have been meta defining in the past year, will help too

it is fs exaggeration. I wouldnt say KOI are better than FUT but in terms of expectation and what people place them those reactions sum up my opinions.
KOI were constantly put high up in EMEA for ZERO REASON, aint none of their players do anything in the past year yet for some reason theyre regarded as a stacked team. They were fs BALLSACKS for that kinda expectation that people placed on them.
FUT meanwhile were said to be the shittiest team in EMEA and that they wouldnt even be able to take 8 rounds total across the series, for that expectation my reaction was as it was above.

dude, chill. it was a single elim tourney. we actually dont know much about these teams' skill except the top 4. americas is the most stacked? it was basically nrg, loud, and friends. they look better because their core is trained together longer than anyone.

In performance and even on paper Americas has so much more promise than EMEA does. Its crazy cause I think theres so much untapped potential in the tier 2 scene but for some reason no team can scout any good players other than FNC.
There were so many EU players not accepted into franchising that its amazing anyone even thought EMEA as a region were competitive.

Kolda is one of the nost creative igls out there and minimum top 5 if not top 3 in EMEA which is a much better igl region than NA. Trexx and Sheydos are world class players. Admittedly starxo is only a mid af roleplayer and wolfen hasnt shown his level of performance he had in tier 2 yet but the core of the former 3 is super strong.

By pure logic youd be able to deduce that Americas would end up far more stacked if were to assume the teams all stay the same.
The only actual top contending teams i could see in EMEA would be TL FNC NAVI and MAYBE Giants.
In the americas tho weve already seen the stars in Lev and Loud (even if lev were dismantled by Navi but i feel like thats a lot more nuanced of a discussion regarding map picks and the nature of Levs and Navis playstyles),

  • MIBR were also supposed to perform much better than they did considering their players were actually all really promising before franchising.
  • SEN are the closest thing to a super team next to the already proven ones.
  • EG have really interesting ideas that with development I could see them competing at a sort of area Xset covered in champs.
  • 100T definitely have the potential to be around the top as long as they get their mental together.
  • Furia looked like they were developing the meta loud were but i guess they just werent as mechanically talented as loud and they also (i THINK) dont have a pre-exisiting core on their roster so itll take time.
  • Lev look like an insanely stable fundamental team that just have so much chemistry with each other and i love their playstyle with minimal mistakes.
  • And then we have NRG who are definitely already really good and everyone knows it so i dont feel the need to say much about them.

The EMEA teams for the most part looked just really boring and disappointing.

  • I already knew Heretics were gonna be bad apart from keloqz so idk why i held hope but i was so disappointed in their game
  • Vit look... good, just mediocre, not very impressivee but would be around middling in EMEA
  • KOI also just look mediocre they dont seem like a team to contest the 4th spot
  • Giants were a little less than i expected them to be but i hold hope for them getting much better and maybe contesting 4th
  • TL, I dont even wanna talk about that, all i can do is pray they get better

What im saying is the Americas region just looks so much more interesting (bar MIBR C9 and Kru) and they seem to really be innovating.

and even then, 100T ended up losing to them anyways.
And sure Cryo is an upgrade over Will but Will played better against FNC than Cryo did.
You are straight up delusional

100T were BAAAAD this tournament. they may improve in the future, just like everyone other team in the world, but for now they are horrid. Cope.

B-b-but they choked!!! 100t are a very good team!!

Im not comparing them wiht their iceland run, im talking about their drop off. Theyve been at the bottom for so long and they havent played anywhere near this well post iceland. The iceland run was definitely a fluke but they played much better against Lev than their performances the past 2 tourneys.
The individuals arent what im talking about, you dont have to have cracked players to be a good team

but what makes ZETA was once a good team, is that they have cracked players hitting their peak at the same time, it's never about their strats or teamwork.

its literally just fax. I dont wanna sound like an NA fan but the Americas clearly deserves the spot. They are the most stacked region pretty clearly. FNC are just a broken team. I dont think valorant has ever seen a more stacked roster in terms of individuals

You are clown that's what everyone knows now.

No even close lmao, SEN and 100T are not even close to beating anyone other than Heretics. The only good Americas teams are LOUD, LEV, NRG and FUR to some extent.

Crazy take, sen and 100t can take alot of EMEA teams. We won the tourney but calm down lil bro

Giants without practice took a map out of NRG so let's not be foolish and get lost in the sauce

I don't agree with OP. But giants taking a map off NRG doesn't mean much when 1. It was lotus, 2 it was close as hell.

a bad game doesnt dictate a teams skill, this is what i cant stand about valo tards its almost like yall have only ever interacted with valorant esports and think youre a scholar on the subject.
There are so many variables that you have to take into account, a team cant be 100% every game and sometimes they even fall to less than 50% of their typical level but that doesnt mean theyre a bad team, they just need to bounce back.
Lev wouldve put up a really good fight against Navi had they been playing the way they did in their match against Zeta. Zeta didnt even look bad as well, Lev were just that much better

The way you criticise how people make conclusions and then proceed to do the same based on a bunch of ifs and buts is crazy

Delusional. You can have your garbage takes end I'll thought out opinions, but to call them facts is concerning

call it what you want but they rolled FNC before so it is what it is

Happily ignoring the 13-5 and 13-7 that followed. Not to mention they were playing with enzo and mistic

oh yea lets just randomly claim out of nowhere that Giants had absolutely no practice. Makes sense honestly, it wasnt like they had great execs and site holds with coordinated utility usage especially on Lotus or anything. So yea theyre probably gonna be the greatest team in the world honestly my bad

how cringe are you

"China def doesn't deserve 2 free slots to Masters Tokyo"

chill, they only got 5 months (if not less) international exposure lmao
all other region starts in early 2021

I agree they need to be more exposed to international competition to catch the other regions faster, but I don't think the way to do that is by giving them 2 free slots in the more prestigious tournaments Riot has to offer for Valorant.

what do you mean yeah sure? he's been proven to be absolutely correct.

Out of 4 EMEA slots, 2 made playoffs
Out of 3 APAC slots, 2 made playoffs
Out of 3 Americas slots, 3 made playoffs

Use brain next time before trying to sound smart on a 3 month old thread
