FPX what are u doink

Stratum7

First struggled against FF, then destroyed by SMB, now lost a map against forze. Im happy to see that forze is able to take a map from an EU team which confirms that all of the 12 teams here has upset potential but I still think the gameplay of both teams were kinda bad compared to others. But what happened to FPX? These comps, Dry peeks to OP… first they couldnt counter Izzy’s operator on ascent, now forze used OP very well against them.

Does no one else feel that FPX are just overrated and our expectations should be lower? From what I've seen they don't seem to be adapting during games and they constantly have issues with dying early/not trading

They’re like liquid trying shit comps, but don’t actually realise the comps are shit unlike liquid who realise it then swap the comps

I think they have great players but their analyst desk are making some trash comps + understimating the opponent. they showed up good things with Shao's Jett but seem he doesnt like that agent or smthing. idk

Not quite overrated. It's more like FPX just did more shit than what they usually do. They honestly are a very good team. But they just went full choke mode early on this time.

They don't look practiced as a team, missing trades and taking fights solo. Also, the usual explanation is bad comms which shouldn't be happening at this level w/ the amount of time they have had.

Maybe CIS and TR are just better than a lot of Eu fans with superiority complexes (and a few racists) think?

maybe the "superiority complex" comes from the fact turkey was absolutely awful in the last emea,no one has said cis is bad tho gambit was always considered a conteder for berlin

And thats because CIS only had 1 team, if they had 3 they would also get destroyed and everyone would think the same about CIS too.

now they have three and their not getting destroyed and no one has said they would,also alot of ppl just dont like how turkish fans act so alot of people just want to clown them when they lose

You are proving my point. Lets agree on something, CIS and TR are doing similiar this tourney, CIS is slightly better but theyre both good. Now lets think only 1 team qualified from TR for Iceland qualifiers, people wouldnt trashtalk that much because only 1 Team would lose not 3. Now if that happened u would say same think about TR.

lets agree on something,alot of people just hate turkish fans because some of them act like retards,always when i see someone streaming playing against a turkish player in ranked thousands of turkish kids just come to spam turkish and talk shit in their chat,so ofcourse if theres toxic turkish fans in chat theres gonna be 2x more toxic eu fans if they lose,and then after all the trash talk they see 1 "kebab" in chat and instantly start acting like victims and like everyones just being racist against them for no reason

lmao wtf even is your point in the last emea turkish fans were annoying af and overhyped their teams so much even if 1 team from turkey qualified they would probably get clowned more if they lost because of how the fans behave

If thats the case then why are they not playing good if it was racism that made everyone think cis and tr play bad then why arent they playing good they clearly are not doing anything unique as op stated like peeking in dry awps , fpz is awful rn maybe they are tilted but it doesnt proove anything fr tr and cis

I'm tired of everyone calling everyone else racist lmao just because eu fans clapped back at some of the toxic turkish fans. Turks would do the exact same thing if Eu came out boasting. Also, every region has "superiority complexes" for fuck sake Na, turkey, cis, eu or whatever lmao. Every region has fans that believe their country is on top and tbh that isn't even a superiority complex or whatever you call it. And that faith that their region is the best only increases when your region has done well and, wouldn't you know, the two best in the recent past (masters 2) were Eu and NA. The two regions that have the most people believing they are on top.

this is the only event TR is doing ok, last event they were awfull to watch. CIS always has been a good region having Gambit dominating everyone but didnt showed up that consistency out of CIS, this time we'll see.
plus u guys should stop with that inferiority complex calling everyone racist when get trolled lmao

well CIS just had 1 slot to masters 2 and Gambit almost make it if not by Fnatic, they would perfectly qualify for Iceland instead of TL's fluke run, and TR wanst even close to make it, thats why no one expected anything from TR teams now.
SMB is doing great till now, lets see if they make it.

I would say theyre top 8 but yes theyre bad, imo its
1- Acend
2- Gambit
3- SMB
4- G2
5-Navi
6- TL
7- Guild
8- FPX
9- OXG
10- FF (Forze if they beat FPX and FF loses 2-0)
11- Forze (FF if they lose to guild 2-0 and Forze wins)
12- VGIA
Its hard to predict cuz FF only played once yet.

I agree with you on some points, but i think you shouldn't consider the teams by looking at only 1 game. For example Navi has to prove itself more to get on the top 5. If you are just talking about this playoff, you might be right.

Imo it's a good sign. Shows that teams that can't adapt in EU will get pushed off. If FPX lose this there is a big chance they also get kicked off LCQ.

But the fact that a team this high up in EU (Top 4 before this loss) is losing to the worst cis team after struggling against 2 TR teams shows that the region isn't as strong as we thought
Edit: Remember this team was competitive against G2 and Ascend and beat Liquid in Challengers 1

im officially over "fpx is the favorite in the tournament" or "fpx is one of the best teams in eu" or "angel one of the best igls in valorant eu" or "they have good firepower" this shit is over fpx is a team that hasn't achieved anything not a single championship since the beta and is always considered as a favourite.
FPX is top 10 at best
