This team went from placing 5th in champs
To getting grouped with 0 wins
What happened🤔
thailand is a subregion.
almost every other team qualified to apac playoffs is dominant in their (sub)region other than ph and/or indo
But Gambit got the 2nd place on the Champions no one reached the final after their wins. Optic were close, but its not #2
yes but optic were top 3 after they won? lol and gambit only appeared twice in international event, optic had 4. and 3 out of these 4 they were always in the top 3. berlin 2nd, reykjavik 1st, copenhagen 3rd.
I think there are no questions about inside competition of two regions (NA and EMEA) and where is harder to qualify. Yes, Optic is one of the best teams in Valorant short history, but I still value Champions is higher than Masters. IMHO
sushiboys who supposed to be our 2nd star player played bad in this stage, and we got an unlucky group in reykjavik i think
their playstyle are great dont get me wrong, but their agent comps are so outdated like surf, i remember last stage dude playin jett all the time while there's other duelist that could fit well into certain maps such as split, fracture, bind, etc like raze and neon.
They were very close matches tbh, they just saving start for another top 8 champs run dw.
sashimi boy didn't perform well and he's also their star player. could've EASILY 2-0 fpx w/ sub but threw map 1
