I mean EG would have Never Won Champs going through Fnatic

I mean in terms of Firepower.
And I am not backing chronicles, Tuyz literally won some maps for LOUD. It's just that He plays controller so his contribution always Gets neglected

EG has to be the most luckiest team at this event

1stly They got one of the most easiest group in the group stage
2ndly At playoffs they got one of the easiest Side of the bracket. I mean They literally had 2 Chinese teams and DRX in their side of the bracket. I would EG would have never won Champs going through Fnatic .

If Fnatic was There in finals I feel like EG would have never won Champs Grand Finals. I think EG should thank Even LOUD too for Dropping Fnatic to Lower bracket and Thus eliminating them from Champs.

I feel like Current LOUD's is the only team in the world that can beat Fnatic . I mean LOUD has Everything to beat Fnatic on any day.

LOUD is good at counter stating and Fnatic kinda Played Same comps and Stats for the whole year.

LOUD Matches the fire Power that Fnatic Has. I mean at it.
Aspas= Derke
Cauauzin= Leo
Tuyz = Chronicles
Sadhaak= Boaster
And
Less = Alfajer

Also LOUD plays those comp that are Kinda are build to counter Fnatic's default comps.

I mean Harbour Viper on Hevan was just created to counter Breech sova Comp.

Would love to see a Rematch in off season and I feel like Madrid Finals Would be between LOUD and Fnatic

Wait so Doesn't it Means The same. Killjoy is super strong that every other Sentinal looks weak in front of her. The only time KJ was Out of meta was in 2022 Where Chamber Was Overpowered. The like a Give and Take thing, Killjoy being so good at holding a Site makes other Sentinal agents Feel shit.

Killjoy is Literally the best agent in the game. She had Almost 65% Pick rate at champs and Dev still didn't Nerf her . What nerfs would you give to her .

I think the best nerds would be :-

Mollies :- reduced to 1 charge but increase the Damage per second on it .

Turret :- Only shots in a Certain Field of view. Currently KJ's turret has 180° Field of View reducing it to 100 ° would be quite Significant. Also Decreasing the Range on turret and if someone destroys Turret the charge will be gone .

Ultimate :- Reduce the Range of the ult so the Team doesn't get Site for Free.

Which team do you think has the best Jersey at Champions 2023
For me it has to be Team Liquid Black Jerseys which they wore at the 1st day of Champions
Black Jersey with Red Detailing .

So as we can see Currently some agents in the game are super powerful and Are viable on most maps while some agents like Sage , Deadlock are kinda dead agents in the game no one picks them . And we see mostly run same comps on some maps. Like on Ascent every team is running Same Jett Kayo Sova KJ omen comp.

Dev Should really look at this problem and add more agent that can fight in meta . Next year we should atleast 4-5 agents especially a Controller and Sentinal

According to the next battle pass next Duelist agent will have some kind of bullet proof ability.

It's still the same comp. With different agent I meant like NRG on Bind playing Viper Harbour sage comp and Play Chamber Bim viper comp. Or DRX playing Breech sova Comp on Hevan or playing Viper Omen Skye comp

Yaa But The meta is really gonna Shift for next year. Astra got Nerfed , Jett got Nerfed and We are going to get a Killjoy Nerf later this year. Also a new duelist agent is going to enter the agent pool and we will be having 23 agents in the game. And except ascent We rarely see Mirror comps on every map. Like on Hevan Some teams play Omen Viper while some teams Still play Breach sova Whereas some teams play Viper harbour

No I am not saying that, I know It's paper Rex and They love taking aim duels a Lot but they didn't adjust to the fact that EG is just building a Trap for them to push into them and Make mistakes.

If you look at Pacific DRX vs PRX league game , DRX was Just holding at certain angles Waiting for PRX players to push and Make play . You see how last round on split Boostio was Holding spawn waiting for something to push .

I think changing Bind comp on the last stage of Tournament really hurted them. They have already Beaten EG with that Harbour comp.

How can u anti strat a Team Who plays like they don't care. Paper Rex don't really have some fixed stats and They barely play default . The only think That helps them are set micro plays and micro adjustment they do on the fly.

Do you think next year we will see Teams have more than 1 agent comp prepared for a Single Map.

Like Fnatic having 2-3 agent comp for a Perticular map and They throw a Snowball on the opponents on what agent comp they will be running.

I think it takes a Long to prep more than 1 comp on a single map but we having a 5-6 month off season and it is a great time for teams to implement it.

Let's discuss why PRX really lost to EG yesterday. I think the main reason was

1st They were Over peaking a Lot and were disrespecting the smoke the Were taking Fight pushing smokes when they had Player advantage but It's PRX so u can really blame them for Overpeaking

2ndly I think they throwed a Huge Lead on Split the only thing EG were doing is Punishing PRX over aggression

3rdly I think Sudden agent comp Change really costed Them the game . They had so much success on That Harbour Brim comp but still they changed the comp On the final day.

I know this guy can't be replaced But since he is leaving for his Military service Who will PRX think to replace him. I am think of a Player who can Pla A Flex Role (Like sometime raze and Sentinal mostly ).

My be getting a Initiator play could also work for them.

Jett :- Aspas/Demon1
Raze:- Jingg
Neon :- Victor
Reyna:- Something
Yoru :- TenZ/Forsaken
Pheonix :- Jingg currently (2022 Scream)
Viper :- Suygetsu
Harbour :- Forsaken
Astra :- Sugarz3ro
Omen :- Mako
Brimstone :- I can't think of (maybe Som)
Sova :- Cauauzin
Fade :- Shao
Skye :- Ethan/Davai
Gekko:- CGRS
Kayo :- Nismo / Victor
Chamber :- Yay/Laz
Killjoy :- Less
Cypher :- Alfajer
Sage :- Cned
Deadlock :- Dead agent

Na I don't think Chamber Is coming Back Killjoy is just too strong and the only Nerf to her is Her Ult which Doesn't Make any difference

Yaa I think Most Ult Orbs Are Attacker Sided And Devs should add an Extra orb in Hevan for B site like on stairs may be

~Title edit :- Post Jett Nerf Meta Prediction

So According to my pros and Analysts , Jett is quite dead in meta and it opens window For some Duelist agents .

1stly Pheonix - I think teams Might try pheonix solo duelist as On most maps Teams Play Default and Farms orbs and With maps Like Lotus having 3 orbs , Teams can farm up to 5-6 ults if the players manages to get some frags.

2ndly Raze :- Having more than 50% pick rate in Champions is a Sign that Raze is going to dominate the Duelist agent class for Next 3-4 months

3rd Neon - A good substitute to Jett but It is very hard to learn her movement and stun combos + Her ult is Trash at Pro level.

Does Jett Nerf really Hits Top tier teams. I mean Yaa Surely Jett was Dominant on Maps Like Hevan , Ascent and Even Pearl where Her Pick rate was around 90% but still teams Have stopped playing Jett on most maps and they have seen that Raze brings more value.
I mean we Lived in a meta where Jett is just picked on every map just because her dash was super powerful and op factor but currently teams have started running single Duelist raze on most maps.

Since Bren and Sideshow are casting today So it means Pansy and Hypoc are Casting the Finals Match. Any other stream would u recommend other than English stream

Sadhaak is a Great caller but he only told that he was not IGLing in some of their matches .Less Took over the IGL role and Boaster has proven to be the best (He has more achievements compared to sadhaak)

Rb is Literally 0.96 rating in this event. He was One of the reason y DRX lost. Forsaken has been fragging very insanely recent and Don't forget his Like IGL for them too.

And Jing Has Shown good Potential but All year around Aspas has Just proven everyone that he is the best duelist in the world. He carried LOUD through Americas League .

Mako's Standards are too high and he Was not in his best form This year except PACIFIC League and With Scary coming back to Teir 1 competition There is a Chance where he loses his "BEST CONTROLLER TAG"

But Ethans Plays Most Initiator for EG. He is categorised as Initiator player for them

No way I putting Mako Up there . He Didn't perform well against Fnatic and Many other teams This year. his stats were good coz His His teams Stats were poor

C0m does not comes under Initiator play as He plays Viper on some maps. He is flex for EG.

Who is best player acc. To you for each category
For me

Best duelist player :- Aspas/Demon1 ( not including something coz he only played 1 international tournament)

Best Sentinal player :- Alfajer ( Insane no. But tough competition from less )

Best Flex Player :- Forsaken (No need to explain)

Best Initiator player :- Leo/cauanzin

Best Controller Player :- S0m or Tuyz

Best IGL :- Boaster

Best Rookie Player :- Demon1

Best team in the World :- Fnatic /LOUD

No they said it's Double Elimination Bracket for Both Kick off tournament and Master Madrid

2021 :-
Gambit Has to be the best team in the year 2021.
They just missed Master 2 Reykjavik by a Single match
Won Masters Berlin and Placed 2nd In Champions 2021 and According to they literally throwed there Icebox game to ascend costing them the trophy

2022 :-
Hard to pick Between LOUD and Optic but I think Optic were a Better team whole year.
They placed 1st in Master Reykjavik , 3rd in Master Copenhagen and 2nd In champions 2021

2023 :-
though Fnatic got eliminated at 4th place champions But Still they were the most dominant team this year. Won Lockin with insane come back , dominated League play with dropping only 1 Map .

So is Masters Madrid 8 team Tournament or 8 teams from each region tournament?
Like 8 from EMEA
8 From AMERICAS
8 From PACIFIC

Yaa Chronicles has a tough time in Both series and Derke was Also missing a lot of his shots and He was Bottom frag most of the time in attack side . And Leo know for making the least mistakes not having 1st deaths Was Also making a lot of mistakes

This is what I think must be the reason why Fnatic just crumbled against LOUD.

1stly They somewhat had some pressure in their minds And were to desperate to win 3 Trophies in a row. Like How some Bowlers in cricket get this feeling when they are on Hat trick.

2ndly though Fnatic is a Very prep heavy team still they looked a little lost like they were doing quite obvious things and were playing quite similarly. Like they were executing in last 20 sex which costed them many rounds.

3rdly having a perma ban really pinched them against as according to most analysts, LOUD already won the map veto. Like LOUD dominated PRX on Split (PRX's one of the best maps ) and LOUD's Hevan is also quite strong and we all know about ascent as their best map. So with pearl going out of the map pool It might favour Fnatic but catch is Breeze is coming back and Breeze has been there perma ban in past.

4thly Losing too many Bonus and Pistol rounds . Like Last night Fnatic won only 2 Pistol round and lost almost every Bonus round .

I switched off the stream after Split can someone y Hypoc Switched casting with sideshow

No way Fnatic Are beating LOUD on Ascent and Hevan

I mean he is not casting he doing watch party and he has right to support the team he is cheering for

Yes Last Game against DRX every round DRX won She was so upset and when Fnatic recovered She started doing Hype casting. And fun fact she accepts that she is biased towards Fnatic coz she thinks they are literally unbeatable and everyone else are trash .

VCT adminstration should do a pole for the audience to decide whom they want as their Grand finals Casters. I will vote for Bren and sideshow

Hard to say this But Pansy Is a very Biased Caster towards Fnatic and Other EMEA teams

Overrated They only Lost 2 series and if we remove those Series they only Lost 4 maps (1 To DRX , 1 to BBL, 1 FUT and 1 To EG)

If Paper Rex Manages to Beat EG today And Go to the Grand Finals of Champs 2023 then Fnatic is most likely to win Champions

Don't believe me Look back last year , FPX completed the whole Lowe Bracket run and Won Master Copenhagen when Paper Rex Were destroying everyone in the Upper Bracket And Same situation is here Fnatic Starts from lower Bracket and Paper Rex are mostly destined to Be in Grand finals .

"Let's TP my Kittens "

I feel like Jett is Still Fine on most Maps . I mean the Nerfs are quite brutal but It doesn't change the way u play Jett ,

Smoke Duration Reduced Is quite good as Jett can just stay in smoke and dodge Sova and fade recon But Still 2.5 sec smoke is enough to escape and Even entry . She Still has 2 smokes I mean 5 sec of Smokes are enough.

Reducing her Updraft to 1 charge is just done to Not let her easily escape from unwanted situation, The only downside is that She can make double Updraft plays where she can kill someone over a Wall.

Tailwind Getting reduced to 7.5 sec Just reduces the window in which she can Dash, remember she can still dash And get Away from a Fight. Now it's just that She can hold a angle for more sec.

Her Ult just got Nerfed by 1 ult orb Nothing else, She can still just click heads and Win a Round. And Mostly Her ult is used in Save Rounds. I mean Riot Nerfed KJ ult too with 9 orbs does that mean she is going out of the meta . And every Jett main can drop 20-25 Kills. That is like 3-4 ult ( If she grabs some orbs or plants/defuse the spike)

Ok so duelist comps never worked untill chamber was introduced and We all know pre nerfed Chamber was Quite More like a Duelist than a Sentinal . Teams Have Tried No duelist comps on Some maps And Every time they got Bodied But the other team. I think Jett is still fine On some Maps , But we will see more Raze and Neon. I mean The only Nerf to her ult was No. Of Orbs And if a Jett main Is able to drop 20-25 Kills Per match that is still 2- 3 Ult Per match. And

Though riot decided to Nerf some agent , Some agent still need either a buff or a Nerf.

Agents that need nerf According to me :-

1) Killjoy - Too powerful, very annoying to play against and her Ult is just the best ult in the game.

2) Omen :- not very Powerful but still the flash is so insane and 1 way smokes are annoying to play against. Also 2 TP should be reduced to 1

3) Viper :- Viable on almost every map And very strong in both attack and Defence.

4)Kayo :- Not very used agent but Kayo has almost 100% pick rate on Ascent ,

Agents That needs a Buff :-

Harbour :- We saw some gameplay from harbour but It's slowly decreasing. I think cove still needs a Buff, The inside Smoke should remain for atleast 10-12 sec. Also ULT just give some buff to teammates may Be teammates inside Harbours Ult circle get some heal or Stim.

Cypher :- Killjoy is just like a Queen in the current meta , A KJ Nerf can revive cypher , may be Cam Tags Just give a Decay Damage of 20-30 hp per Tag so Players Don't disrespect the tag And Remove it to get rid of decay

Astra :- Give her 5th star back but a timmer on 5th star , Like she Has to wait for 30-50 sec to use that star

Neon :- Very under rated agent , a small tweek can bring her back in meta

Chamber :- Increase TP range and Give 2 trips With Same range Or remove range on trip . Also sherrif 100 creeds per bullet

Deadlock :- I mean She is a Dead agent Barrier type agents are still useless in this game , Sage Get some value on Icebox coz her Wall protects from Bullets .

I think Riot's clock is running a Little late, Jett Surely needed this Nerf But I think at this Point Killjoy is the queen in the Current Meta . Her Pick rate in Champions 2023 is around 64% . And TBH Killjoy meta is so boring to Watch. Just Increasing her Ult with 1 orb won't do shit. Players can still farm orbs and currently The 2 best player in world are Killjoy main ( Alfa and Less). They will surely get 2 Lockdown per half .

I think her kit needs a Nerf
Reducing her Ult range or Decreasing the Detained time would be a good fix. And Her Turret is a very annoying to play against .

Dude Are u brain-dead , or U can't understand simple thing , LOUD never picks Pearl as their Map pick They go for Either ascent or Hevan and pearl is Fnatic's Perma ban So Knowing LOUd Never picks Pearl as their Map pick Fnatic can gamble and ban Ascent instead of Pearl coz If LOUD doesn't pick Pearl as their Map Pick they can ban Pearl too in the second Ban

U didn't get me I meant to say that If FNC Doesn't ban Ascent LOUD will be 100% picking that map. So Fnatic Has to ban Ascent in the 1st place and gamble whether loud Picks Pearl or Not .
