Bro EG isnt the team of the year, They never were, Fnatic has won 3 events this year where EG only won 1. It was literally most of the same teams as Masters and LOCK//IN but just because its called "Champions" its more of an achievement?

beating up on a trash region like emea does not make you good. they only other team from that dog region that made playoff beat ONE team T1 who is also garbage. then they promptly lost every other map. fnc doesn't even podium in 50% of the actual lans. lock in is a joke tournament and rbhg(don't even know why this guy mentioned some trash off season tourny, serious cope by eu) is a joke tournament.

Meanwhile EG barely qualified on the likes of txozin knifing a 1T player XDDDD THEY WENT 4-5 IN THE LEAGUE AND GOT 13-0 BY LOUD

what is emabarassing is emea making all these excuses after all year saying how much better than everyone they were. you had more teams at champs than anyone. and only one of your teams could win a playoff map. sad really.

CryoZanderDerrekEnjoyer own you lil bro. Have the american education system failed once again? Can you read his points? Fnatic won lock in, only dropping 2 maps. So you agree that Fnatic was the best after lock in yeah? Than they go 9 - 0 only losing to Liquid in the finals. Eg goes 4 - 5 and comes third. So fnatic should still be better right? Than they dominate eg winning 5 -1 in maps vs them and win masters. Fnatic is still better. Yes eg won champs and they ended the year on top, but you are clowning on a top 4 finish by Fnatic. That is how high their standard is. Top 4 is bad. Just think about that for a second lil bro. Even Boosio admitted on stream that Fnatic was the better team. And that says alot when it comes from Boostio.

"break" doesn't mean they stop practicing. they still have to keep on scriming and give server time which is a tiresome work. Definitely there was burnout from fnatic players, plus their idea and playstyle were getting more countered in champs as there was lot of vods playing same maps and same comps

Actually looking back No, EG > FNC, Lock IN / Redbull - Mickey Mouse Tournament so they obviously dont count, and Champions > Masters therefore EG win, even if u say Champions = Masters, EG was 2nd place in Masters whereas Fnatic was 4th place, therefore EG wins Pog EG Team of the Year

Fnatic map winrates were pretty nuts and very strong for almost the entire year.
Though they were a little bit inflated because some of those emea teams were trolling.

EG's map pool got really strong towards the end of the year.
In tokyo they had 3/4 really strong maps which helped them reach the final, for champs they expanded their pool and changed a few comps and strats up.

Fnatic map winrates 2023 VCT:

since you cannot read, in the only 2 tournaments of the year that mattered eg finished 2nd/1st, while fnatic finished 1st/4th. incase you didn't know a second place at masters and a win in the most important tournament of the year, is better than a first place and fourth place. i thought you euro's were supposed to be smart.

Single elim tournaments have much higher stakes since teams only have a single chance to prove themselves and absolutely play at their best form. Not to even mention, lock in had the greatest and the most insane final/match we have ever had in this game

fnatic had a peak this year which was better than any team ever in history of valorant, added to that is the fact that they won two trophies.

sliggy, one of the most knowledgable analysts literally said at the start of masters tokyo that they have been the best team in history of the game, and i think that should be enough to solidify that.

ask 100 analysts this question, and guaranteed 98/100 will say fnatic. the remaining 2 being sean gares and probably some other unapologetically biased NA analyst

It's really not about the story as cool as it is, it's simply just that to improve that much in that time span, is honestly ridiculous. Like are you biased or just dumb? FNC was dominant don't get me wrong, but IMO it's more impressive to make that leap from where EG was, to be not just a contending team, but a winning team. FNC was just good from the get-go, and honestly, they choked when it mattered most anyway, but you know who didn't choke, EG.

They ain't gettin' this shit. Evil Genius (Cum, Jawgemo, Semen1, Boostio and ethan) is the top dog team in the world right now, even if I ain't feelin' that personally. Peep the LockIn finals again; Saadhak, Less, and Aspas didn't give a shit 'bout losin that final, and their early exit from the Masters didn't faze 'em either. They wanted to keep their A-game for the Champions, 'cause they know that's All. I don't even remember who won last year's Masters, and nobody gives a shit, but I do remember the past Champions. Your shitty league, your Masters, and all that shit are just warmups for the ultimate showdown (CHAMPIONS). If you roll up with the "best team" of the year and "probably in history" and you CHOCKE and lose twice to the team from that final (even though LOUD wasn't on point and had internal issues), then you don't deserve to be called the best team of the year. EG was steady learnin' from their mistakes, took a 13-0 in the regular season against LOUD, then in the semis, EG bounced back. That's how it is man, if you ain't consistent, you don't deserve the glory. In this Red Bull Home Ground #4, Fnatic's still playin' the same shit, ain't bringin' nothing new. they don't create meta, don't expect to snatch a Champions trophy, not even a crappy Masters. Personally, I think Fnatic's got the illest roster in history, but they ain't the GOAT team yet. The 98 outta 100 analysts ain't gonna get you that glory brother
