Fnc are kings
They are back. Owning the world and making their opponent fans cry
Ggs take a bow DRX
Headhunter - 8 bullets to 6, each one still costs 150.
Trademark - Remains the same.
Rendezvous (Teleport) - Make it like jett dash, where, if it is used once, Chamber needs to get two kills to reset it.
Tour de Force - Damage and slow field remain, now has 3 bullets instead of 5.
OpTic vs LOUD: The greatest recurrent match-up in international Valorant in 2022, if not in the whole history of the game. The two green rivals from North and South America have, at every point where they have crossed paths, delivered the highest level of competition over the three international events of the year. This is a thread showing the details of their past 4 face-offs.
Their 1st series:
LOUD came in to Masters 1: Reykjavík as favorites to make a deep run in the tournament. Beating Team Liquid in the 1st round of playoffs, and then running over G2 in a convincing manner, they then faced OpTic Gaming, that came from wins against region-mates The Guard and korean powerhouse DRX. OpTic were definite favorites in the match-up, having had strong results in Masters 3: Berlin in 2021, as well as having convincingly sent home both Xerxia and KRÜ in the group stage.
The maps:
-Map 1: Fracture
Starting off with a bang, OpTic Gaming absolutely demolished LOUD on the attacking side of Fracture, ending 10-2 at the half, in great due to Victor's performance, who dropped a whopping 387 ACS and 18 kills. LOUD was not able to react after the switch, and the game ended a quick 13-2 to OpTic.
Map MVP:
Victor on Neon - 372 ACS
21/7/1/+14
LOUD MVP:
aspas on Raze - 226 ACS
10/12/3/-2
-Map 2: Ascent
Currently regarded as LOUD's best map (they had also recently beaten Team Liquid and G2 on Ascent), it did not start very well for the brazilian superteam. By halftime, they trailed by two rounds, due to a well-coordinated OpTic's strong defense. In the second half, however, the story changed drastically, with LOUD winning 4 rounds in quick succession, dropping 1, and then closing the map out with another 4 in a row to take it to Map 3. The highlight of this map was, of course, the famous 1v3 pANcada clutch on the backsite of B. Final score: 13-8 to LOUD.
Map MVP:
crashies on Sova - 272 ACS
19/14/5/+5
LOUD MVP:
Less on Killjoy - 262 ACS
18/12/5/+6
-Map 3: Icebox
On the decider, most expected OpTic to pull out the win, but LOUD immediately flew to a 6-1 lead, but OpTic recovered to make it 7-5 in the half. An extremely balanced second half followed, with LOUD extending their lead to 12-8. After this, OpTic managed to bring it all the way back to 12-11, but fell short on the final hurdle, and LOUD took the map and series, 2-1. At this point, LOUD was undefeated in series, having won 17 of their 17 match-ups, all through open qualifiers, Challengers and the Masters playoffs (they received a bye to the playoffs due to NiP winning the LATAMxBR LCQ), while only dropping 4 maps. This final map of the series is also the famous "Less backpack game", where he dropped 33 kills (14 more than anyone else on the server) and put up a 375 Average Combat Score.
MVP of the Match:
Less on Viper - 375 ACS
33/13/8/+20
OpTic MVP:
Marved on Viper - 253 ACS
19/20/9/-1
There are four games to record like this, so if this thread gains traction I'll make one for each of the 4 series over the next 3 days leading up to the match
Tava esperando essa aí pro Valorant
Deffo not, please let's not keep bringing this up 🙂
Imagine if loser of Optic/Loud wins in lower bracket, they would have to play 3 Bo5s 3 days in a row
dgzin went more positive than derke, nobody saying he's the best in the world 😔
pANcada said they were hiding Haven as their map pick, they banned it in groups, then proceeded to completely maul Lev and DRX on it, when they were both heavy favorites to win not only the map but the series. Sure, you can say it was down to the mental game, but nonetheless, they beat two of the world's best teams on that map
Group B had two good teams and two good teams that got destroyed (sorry BOOM and ZETA fans). I thought group A was better, and got proven wrong. How good a group is isn't defined by their top team, but a combination of how competitive they are, alongside the results that come after.
Mano o negócio é que pode até ser verdade, mas tão fazendo parecer que é a mesma coisa que no último champions, que com certeza não é. Infelizmente, devido a nossa cultura, bem provável que tenha esse tipo de coisa por muito tempo ainda, mas são casos isolados, ele não podia ter falado "br please stop with death threats"
Yeah, I'm sorry for anything that may have been unpleasant, we've been trying to do better as a community since last Champs!
The hahahaha laughing thread literally pops up for every single game, this one was tame because it wasn't wasn't directed at DRX, it could be more a jab at the fact that LOUD wasn't expected to win by most
Yes of course oh great Mohagany!
That's not hate, that's what happens when a team beats another, wdym?
GOOD GAME!
Good luck DRX fans, I believe you can make a lower bracket run this time
Who is hating on DRX? We will sort them out!
If they losing they ain't the better team
Don't cry! They may lose this game, but their results in groups show that their mental has gotten better, even if this is a bad day
A team always looks better if they are winning by a large margin, but games can change in an instant
From LOUD's 4 international defeats, 3 are from OPTIC 🙂
KoreanOverlord! I made the mistake on Friday of not believing in LOUD before the map was over. This is DRX's map pick, believe in your team!
DRX mental got much better this tourney, they would have never beaten Furia in that 12x4
DRX was supposed to be the best Breeze team in the world
I AM EXCITED, BUT THERE ARE STILL TWO MAPS, THIS WAS LOUD'S PICK
DEPOIS DA LEVIATAN A LOUD NAO PERDE COMEBACK OK OK VAMOOOOO
#LOUDWIN
#GOLOUD
It'll be a good game!
If DRX wins this game against LOUD, LOUD loses.
0/0 is a mathematical indetermination actually 🤓
I was just commenting, not depreciating what they did
Any team at this Champs playoffs would win that masters
El clasico of the world is LOUD x OPTC
No it's a top strategies, he dies first so he can spectate all his teammates and IGL with 4 POVs
