i mean i like everything they say in the interview, but being so confident about their fracture specifically? we all know they are good at that map, but as the great balla once said 70-30 rule, no team is guaranteed to win a map of valorant. this might bite them back , as if they lose fracture, they might not feel as confident in their abilities going forward into the series?

this is definitely me waffling and overthinking, but i still wont want any team, especially a team on a Cinderella run like eg to be so confident about a particular map

theres nothing wrong to being confident also they're not looking down on other teams. They're just saying they are confident on how they are right now.

brother my literal point is not them being confident. my point is specifically saying them being too confident in their fracture, there is a massive difference. even if they were looking down on their opponents, i dont find that absurd, thats totally normal in competition

I mean they are literally telling teams to ban it cause theyre confident enough on their other maps to think that they do NOT need fracture anyway.

I dont think its too much cockiness. He just knows how food his team is.

EG objectively has the best fracture itw and it would be a troll for fnc to let it through. You are right that if fnc beat them on that map it would hurt their confidence but I think we all know that EG would win.

NRG took EG comp and had a close game against fnc on fracture their first time using it.
Liquid beat fnc on fracture and got 13-2d by EG.

They will not play fracture again this tournament unless it’s in a BO5

brother, are you sure you watched NRG vs FNC on Fracture?

Almost beat is a stretch but point still stands

This is no longer a troll comp and EG is no longer honeymooning

True. Comp is actually goated.

EG is no longer honeymooning

Not necessarily true. I mean yeah they are strong, arguably on par with Fnatic, but I don't think they have what it takes (at the moment) to bounce back if they lose their match against FNC unlike NRG. Happy to be proven wrong though.

You are right, in terms of lower bracket performance and bo5 performance I’m a bit worried but I’m fully confident they can still be this dominant in champs

Genuine question - what have you seen from fnatic which suggests they would be able to bounce back once losing their momentum? Other than a 3-1 loss to liquid, the last time they were tested was when they almost got reverse swept in lock in, and before that had a bit of a reputation of choking

icebox game against LOUD on their home crowd, but I can be wrong though

Why TF would they let their perma ban into the pool to ban fracture instead?

EG fracture looks good but there’s so much footage, mini could easily anti it

sayf played dog shit, or else it would be 13-7 or around.
when liquid beat fnc, not only was sayf fragging, but soulcas and redgar were playing like prime tenz.

meaning i dont rate the tl beating fnatic on fracture and eg beating tl => eg >>>fnatic on fracture

Imo it’s their set plays and strategies that makes their fracture so good but their understanding of the map with positioning/util usage/mid rounding

fnc second half was very dominant against nrg, + fnatic had prepared for nrg's old comp and not this sova comp, so they had to adapt in game a lot. + with very fresh vods on eg fracture, i think it is going to be very close.

yes 13-2 to liquid is concerning, but i dont think its going to be that direct of a comparison

liquid beat fnc 11-13 -> eg beat liquid 13-2 -/-> eg beat fnatic 100%

They will not play fracture again this tournament unless it’s in a BO5

and this statement from you is 100% wrong and delusional, i for one can understand not playing against eg, but fracture is fnatic's second strongest map after lotus, so there's no chance you are underrating them so much on fracture

I believe you are the one doing the underrating. We will see

how am i underrating eg fracture ? i just said it would be logical if fnc bans fracture, meaning i do understand how good eg are on that map.

we will see indeed

i mean, they beat both the americas and emea champs on fracture easily, i think its pretty fair for them to be confident on it :)

What do you want them to say? “Nah it’s over for us” ? Alfajer literally said “we are not liquid” and I don’t see anyone talking about that lol yall are soft ass mfs yall want everyone to be humble or quiet?

#25

It’s because alfajer has the qualifications to say that as he has proven himself time and time again meanwhile this is eg’s 1st tournament they are playing at this level even in Americas they barely qualified then sure they beat nrg and c9 but they the lost to loud with map 3 being a stomp and they lost 3-1 to nrg and yes sure you could say eg destroyed liquid and fnatic lost to them on fracture 13-11 but fnatic were playing so bad in that final the fact it was still 13-11 with how bad fnatic were playing tells you something especially when you consider how good they are currently playing plus other than icebox and bind before this year fracture was their 2nd best map so eg are getting quite arrogant acting like they are invincible on fracture

#37

i am talking about a specific map named fracture. what are you even reading?

why are you comparing alfa talking about eg and me talking about eg talking about their fracture?

i literally only want to discuss, do eg have too much faith in their fracture ?

Well you gotta show confidence. They dominated everytime they played on it. Plus Ethan literally said “until teams start to figure it out” so right now they have the rights to brag about their fracture

this weirdo when eg has won every fracture map handily: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 WTF so cocky?!!?!?!

#51

The problem is they are saying it against fnatic they are 1 of the best fracture teams in the world and they are in top form as well it is arrogant with that context.
you don’t see fnatic going around saying they have the best lotus and bind so teams should ban those maps.
that’s the difference they are confident on the maps but the only map they will say that for is icebox as everyone acknowledged fnatic as the greatest the kings of icebox’s but eg are acting like they are the kings of fracture.
you don’t get a title like taht unless you consistently win it for much longer than eg has been winning fracture

Did you watch that game and are you seriously gonna tell me that the fnatic that played liquid is the fnatic that destroyed nrg and prx.
There’s your answer if you can’t see that and you want to continue with that copium then go ahead

True bro, they are too cocky. They should be afraid of FNATIC because they are so freaking good (FNATIC clears every team Deadass). Having confident when they have to play FNATIC next match is ILLEGAL. NO CAP. FR.

But edg destroyed loud as well and what will you say if prx destroy edg and nrg destroy liquid it will mean that the other bracket was way harder and eg had the easy bracket.
And then you will be against the team that dominated the harder bracket with ease don’t get to cocky if liquid and edg play it close or win against nrg and prx then you can be cocky but what until that result 1st
