Hahahaha true

Humbling Loud/EG in a grand finals?

All jokes aside I respect Loud a lot and hope the best for them. Hope they give us some banger series.

EG a bit less but they've got players like Ethan and C0M who are actually really likeable and are elite at their role Dawgemo as well.

and Fnatic

Give me a reason why and I might consider it

At least we've got one broski
I hope pacific wins this one so NA is left behind with 0

WE WILL GET 2 EMEA TEAMS IN GRAND FINALS IN FRONT OF OUR HOME CROWD

Just wait and enjoy the show

That's fully on themselves
If they just stay calm and peak him at the same moment he's got close to no chance of winning 1v2 there against Derke and Chronicle

Loud was reading them like a book which isn't that hard considering they run the same comps, same pistol strats, same executes all year long with no change.

Don't fix if it's not broken mentality backfired badly this tournament

Not innovating was their downfall this Champions for sure

That's a terrible mindset and the reason why they only changed their Fracture by incorporating the Sova because that's the only map they lost in Tokyo.

They didn't play the Jett maps in Tokyo so how did we know it wasn't broken?
They lost Ascent and Haven (Jett maps) to Team Liquid in the EMEA grand finals and that was the last time we saw those maps till now at champions.

They could've at least put some time into Pearl to float it against teams that aren't known for their Pearl

He needs to be the carry on the team
That's where he shines the brightest like on Gambit

BRO EG FIXED 4 OF THEIR MAPS IN BETWEEN TOKYO AND NOW

FNATIC COULDN'T FIX ONE?

If they managed to innovate like every other top team at the tournament
Same comps, same strats, same pistols, same executes, same map pool,...
Blame is on themselves 100%

I might be delusional but getting top 4 when every other team knows exactly what you're gonna do is kinda insane. (they know which map you're gonna ban and pick, which pistol strats you're gonna use, which executes you have, post plant positions everything was old and used it felt like)

EG changed their Bind, Split, Lotus and Pearl and had the same amount of time as Fnatic after Tokyo.

Loud and Drx learned how to play Lotus from scratch (did have a bit more time)
Navi changed their roles up for Lcq and champs.

Paper Rex plays whatever the fuck they want.

While Fnatic still didn't find a way to even consider pearl or new comps or even new strats?
I know it backfired on Bind but that's 1 game.

Still has to be
Leo/Alfajer
Potter
Demon1 unless Something wins champs

For Fnatic no for Chronicle himself yes
On Fnatic he's just a util bot instead of the fragging machine he used to be
Chronicle needs to be one of your main carries and then he will deliver no doubt

I meant Apac my bad

When where?

Nah give me a full Russian roster where they can communicate to their full potential and let's see what happens

They will be the only initial major region without a Champions trophy
(EMEA, Pacific and NA were the initial major regions)
I meant Apac*

The one time they changed comp they lost 13-1 which basically solidified that they had to keep playing the same shit and not change

It's not the same
They went out round 1 of lock/in
They played with a sub at Tokyo

They barely showed their strats compared to Fnatic who have been playing the same comps all year long

Loud had all the reads on them man

I'm still proud of Fnatic for how they performed this tournament

Gonna feel weird watching finals weekend games as a neutral for the first time this whole year

Still proud of the boys and hope they can learn from this tournament (you can't run the same shit over and over again and have the same permaban all year long)!

We go again next year

Gambit hurts man

Scream needs to set his damn ego aside for starters

If Fnatic has to make changes every damn team needs to make changes
None are needed they just need new and fresh strats and getting a different map pool will definitely help them with that problem

Very true

That's my prediction
I definitely will be supporting Paper Rex in the finals

Yeah I just want a 5 game grand finals and Paper Rex winning it as well

Against EG

Paper Rex are the favorites to win the whole thing

My predictions: Loud 3-1 EG and Loud 3-2 Prx

I'm Asian so stfu

For Asia 🤝❤️

Ah nice year boys well tried

Nice try boys

Loud is up 5-4 right now let's make it 5-5 for the year

From. Cauanzin

He's been insane all tournament long

Someone give me the angle from behind

What a play

For both maps once again

Depression

Who is playing instead of him?

Another pistol

Fnatic wins this series

Loud has the better pistols, the better strats, the better aim, the better form, the better map pool, the better mid-rounding basically everything.

Lower finals kinda sucks now but the grand finals will still be a banger even with it being a rematch

They went home in round 1 of lock/in

Really picking Split v Loud after picking Bind v Drx

They studied them the whole year

For sure

They look insanely good

Loud just has their number

Can we just start a game without going down immediately ffs

He got a kill let's goo

or else it will be another 2-0 for Loud

It's the greatest run in VCT history
(same for Loud)

They will have beaten the lock/in finalists, the Masters Tokyo finalists and the Champions finalists on their way to the trophy

But unlikely unfortunately
