Key Points:
"Nobody remembers Masters or other winners besides Champions and if we win Champs we are undisputed best team"
"Back home at Americas, shits too easy"
Honestly hearing this post conference, the level of disrespect G2 has for others despite getting owned 2-0 in Lowers is insane. Hate is valid for these guys, too much hype and 0 trophies.
"Golden Era" lmao

lil bro can't admit that Masters Berlin 2021 winners have more cultural impact than their shit overrated tejo merchant team
Wolfed [#3]everything he said in that post you linked is true
I think saying no one remember master winners is ridiculas
Sen and Gambit is more remembered are more remebered the Acend
Optic is just as remembered as Loud
Fnatic is just as or more remembered than EG
2024 is a little more for the champs win but thats because EDG are the first chinese team to win and thats huge news. And the sen/geng win are still pretty memorable
What makes you memorable is being constantly good, not just the champs win
brahianv [#8]where did he lie?? he been farming americass for a long time
couldnt farm on internationals just calm down vro you aint won one yet
RomanDmitri [#6]I mean he is not wrong
said this in #9 but I think saying no one will remember master winners is silly

yeah, a lot of people have forgotten about FPX copenhagen, but PRX stays in memories. In the future GENG will be as remembered as EDG
So Valyn tried wording it in a way that can discredit other's successes AND being complacent at the same time.
CrackedDuelist [#12]yeah, a lot of people have forgotten about FPX copenhagen, but PRX stays in memories. In the future GENG will be as remembered as EDG
yeah FPX are the only team besides Acend id say people dont remember but thats also kinda because they couldnt participate in the first masters
ah g2, the team that chokes and loses, and people still think they're the best team in the world
saying masters winners are forgettable despite not winning any inter trophies is crazy. and then them saying NA is too easy. are they admitting they are in the worst region thats why they are dominating back home? lol
Lowkey agree with original poster to an extent since Valyn's attitude can be hit or miss. You either love him or you hate him. I don't mind having a winner's mentality but you need to back it up on stage. Undoubtedly G2 were the favourites going in since they have the most dialled in strategic Valorant with a team full of aimers. However, it seems like they lost some of their quality by trying to streamline their comps into playing the same agents on as many maps.
Now, it is facts that G2 will more than likely dominate in Americas for Stage 2. Every other Americas team asides maybe Sentinels has a major flaw holding them back from being serious contenders for the regional trophy or many minor flaws that are piling up. I will however disagree with Valyn's claims that nobody remembers Masters as much as Champs because people will often remember the storylines of teams in the tournament. Some of these Masters events have the most insane storylines that make them memorable.
dont look at it as right now,in a few years everyone will remember who won THE big tournament
everyone claiming KK was the best player in 24 just cus he owned champs and how EDG are the best team of 24 when they werent
g2 are far better than any team in americas and sen are close 2nd
they aint wrong

hahah I completely agree - but Valyn didnt say Masters winners are not remembered, OP misquoted him (thats why I specified in my post)
He only said winning champs = being remembered as the best team of that year, which I still dont 100% agree with but its more reasonable
Ronyko23 [#20]yeah but G2 is not winning lol.This team gonna fall apart after champs choke.
they are gonna win their region but god knows who wins champs
dont spread disinformarion cro, he didnt say no one remembers masters winners
saying masters winners are forgettable is crazy. people remember SEN and Fnatic wins years later
CrackedDuelist [#12]yeah, a lot of people have forgotten about FPX copenhagen, but PRX stays in memories. In the future GENG will be as remembered as EDG
FPX is "forgotten" because the org didnt make franchising

Warlordwibz [#13]So Valyn tried wording it in a way that can discredit other's successes AND being complacent at the same time.
Bingo. He wanted to indirect a shot at Sentinel as well as they always get clowned for no trophies but Masters is equally important lil bro Valyn cant accept.
Wolfed [#3]everything he said in that post you linked is true
"Nobody remembers Masters or other winners besides Champions and if we win Champs we are undisputed best team"
This is objectively false and only an utter moron would believe that
Wolfed [#23]dont spread disinformarion cro, he didnt say no one remembers masters winners
Regardless, saying the champs winners are the best team of the year is idiotic. FNC is by far and away the best of 2023 without winning champs
He said: "At the end of the year, everyone knows who wins Champions, if you think back to 2024: who was the best team? You say EDG"
This is a generally true statement.
He also said "Back home, shit's too easy"
Also a true statement since they won kick off and Split 1 without any real difficulty. You could argue that NA is especially weak this year and maybe doesn't challenge G2 enough to be good enough in an international event.
If G2 win Paris then they are the best team throughout the whole year because they were 2nd in Bangkok, 4th in Toronto and 1st in Paris. There are no other contenders because whoever wins this one, wasn't at Bangkok and T1 wasn't at this event.
Is it arrogance? maybe yeah, but they have the ability to back it up. It just hasn't happened yet.

But people remember GMB and SEN for 2021, people barely even remember Acend, even though they won champs. People remember OPTC for 2022 more than Loud (although I think they were very close). People remember FNC more for 2023 than EG. It seems more like there's just not really a correlation imo.
Congo1 [#25]FPX is "forgotten" because the org didnt make franchising
they're in china bro
they live rent fucking free in your mind wtf, they talk back once and every loves bandwagging hate on them lmao
Divine_Thunder [#31]🤣
i still remember that one time when g2 almost lost a map to furia
CaxTonYT [#38]Hes talking about the emea fpx bro
They wanted to get into Emea franchising but didnt make it. So they tried again for china franchising
I love g2 and i am always a die hard Americas fan
I think Valyn is arguably one of the most important players in the game. He is a great IGL that can shoot back.
But I have to say, winning matters, and G2 doesn't win enough to matter.

BigJuicyyyy [#40]i still remember that one time when g2 almost lost a map to furia
And almost losing to EG with yay is crazy work despite being the best team, but entirely ts region already cooked so ez b2b for G2
Rduino [#44]And almost losing to EG with yay is crazy work despite being the best team, but entirely ts region already cooked so ez b2b for G2
yay was the only reason the series was competitive
Every team has to keep up their confidence in interview it is not particularly about G2 even if your favourite team as well so think pretty valid from Valyn seriously stop hating bro they are already the first team to Qualify for champs so their spot is fixed for next year as well
catNmouse [#45]yay was the only reason the series was competitive
U forgot, he's the same man that cost EG their Toronto last chance

i started watchin late 2022 so i cant really speak for that year but i remember loud more than optic as it was the first champs i watched,fnc more than eg as they won 2 lans which is historic and edg last year more than sen and gen g
edit
also more people watch champs than any other masters and to a casual viewers they gonna remember who won champs more than anything
SamNuho [#28]Bingo. He wanted to indirect a shot at Sentinel as well as they always get clowned for no trophies but Masters is equally important lil bro Valyn cant accept.
he did it again, Valyn just said in press conference that winning Americas 3x in same year doesn't mean much. Guy still the same. Seeing G2 eliminated will be so much fun.

Hes right though, farming memericas doesnt mean much

bumping a 2 month old post to cry about G2 is crazy levels of being a loser
bro is offended by a winning mentality
Wolfed [#48]check your sources lil bro, only OP said that, Valyn never said that
He said only an utter moron would believe that, not valyn. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yall are way to easy to Bait, Ofcourse hes gonna talk shit and hype him and his team up and he said nothing wrong aside from the masters winners bait
KK was getting goat shouts after his team was shit the whole year, the majority care way more about champs and after a 2nd 4th and 1st g2 would be the undisputed best team
Yo my man this is the exact shit that needs to be said in a pre tournament conference bro, these are held to increase the hype man , let the players act cocky and arrogant and trash talk others that's how u create narratives and build hype and make the tournament way more interesting, the drx talon rivalry is what made the pacific playoffs so interesting
