it's good to have that consistent pillar throughout the year. It was awesome
envy/optic felt like NA's best team since masters 2 sentinels. they kept their core for a long time and yay was a very likeable player. of course nrg are still strong, but nothing tops the days where everyone was scared of yay's chamber
team_liquid_fan_v2 [#4]i really miss the original 100t roster
the NA first strike final was the very first game i watched
JustEnjoying [#2]it's good to have that consistent pillar throughout the year. It was awesome
yeah its one thing to make your way to multiple majors, its another to do it with the same roster for 2+ years. chemistry plays a big part in team success. even from csgo, yay and fns were teammates so it pays to have them both on envy/optic.
1st place, 3rd place, and 2nd place at international events in 2022 is an insane consistency that may not be beaten by any team for a while, let alone matched.
Optic had the charisma and trash talk but had the skills and talent to back it up as well. i don't think any NA team like them will exist for a while
none of the new NA teams will reach the peek of the old optic roster for a while. They play with discipline control and also have good aim to back it up. Feels like some of the tier 2 teams like the guard/m80 even closer to this playstyle then some of the franchise NA teams.
I miss optic but not that much you guys are living in Nostalgia it’s time to move on
team_liquid_fan_v2 [#4]i really miss the original 100t roster
with or without dicey
I did like the players so yeah kinda. Also it was better when NA had a superteam and were competetive
Shadow_Monarch [#13]OpTic only made it far cuz of Chamber. Lets be real.
They reached finals of masters Berlin well before chamber was even in the game
BrotherMan [#14]They reached finals of masters Berlin well before chamber was even in the game
That was Envy. After Envy it was all Chamber.
Optic needs a hard carry, their aimers are so mid. I think Havoc or artzin would be insane in this team.
Shadow_Monarch [#13]OpTic only made it far cuz of Chamber. Lets be real.
Ah yes, because they are the only one who are allowed to play Chamber. So unfair :<<

Aimers mid? You okay bro?

ye same it was the first ever game i watched too...Myth And Ninja even dressed up...good times 😔
Shownu [#8]Fluketic didn't deserve a spot.
OPTIC 2022 >>>>>>>>>FNATIC 2023
CryoZanderDerrekEnjoyer [#18]Aimers mid? You okay bro?
I just wake up, I mean NRG not optic, only crashies and s0m have insane aim
Shadow_Monarch [#15]That was Envy. After Envy it was all Chamber.
Who was Envy's Roster at masters Berlin?
Nachtel [#22]Who was Envy's Roster at masters Berlin?
The exact same as optic roster, minus chamber.

As much as I hate to say it, I feel like Fnatic and Loud are going to do just that this year, especially with the current roster locks for all other teams.
ZeRUSia [#20]OPTIC 2022 >>>>>>>>>FNATIC 2023
Let's hope FNATIC get upset by some team in Tokyo or Champs and not make it to the top 3 so people can boast about OpTic being better hahah
Simp4S0m [#17]Ah yes, because they are the only one who are allowed to play Chamber. So unfair :<<

YES! I hope that happens

yeah only optic could play chamber, the other teams couldnt ur right
thiagomds [#21]I just wake up, I mean NRG not optic, only crashies and s0m have insane aim
ZeRUSia [#30]YES! I hope that happens
I want DRX to be that team who will upset them

what are u on about?
Simp4S0m [#33]I want DRX to be that team who will upset them
I don't think DRX beating Fnatic will be an upset coz they are the 3rd best team in the world
Blazieboy [#37]I don't think DRX beating Fnatic will be an upset coz they are the 3rd best team in the world
Depends who you ask
EMEA actually thinks Fnatic is a championship contender and their region isn't in shambles 💀
babysasuke [#38]Depends who you ask

Only Navi and fnatic are contendors. In Americas, only LOUD and maybe NRG and APAC only drx
Blazieboy [#37]I don't think DRX beating Fnatic will be an upset coz they are the 3rd best team in the world
Yeah but a lot of people don’t think the same. I feel like the majority thinks Fnatic > LOUD >>>>>>>> (huge gap) DRX

Fnatic have always been a championship contender in the eyes of EMEA fans. Only the non-delusional ones will accept that they had a terrible 2022 internationally. Again if I say this people will call out my SEN flair.

Difference is that you aren't going to pretend that Sentinels didnt have an embarrassing 2022
Still more international trophies than Shitnatic though (ones that count)
chloeburbank [#11]with or without dicey
i like both dicey and ethan
team_liquid_fan_v2 [#4]i really miss the original 100t roster
Honestly I feel like they could still do very good if nitr0 came back
OPTIC come back to Tier 2 and NRG drops roster and go back to OPTIC. Win their way to franchising and make the comeback of a lifetime 😎
Kai__ [#19]ye same it was the first ever game i watched too...Myth And Ninja even dressed up...good times 😔
yeah i'll never forget that crazy raze ult 3k from asuna on bind
Simp4S0m [#17]Ah yes, because they are the only one who are allowed to play Chamber. So unfair :<<
It meant Yay was the best Chamber, and Chamber was quite OP.
