On paper the team is solid.
Unfortunately real life has a tendency to not be like on paper.
Would be pretty hard to win against 5 people with only 3.
So I like FNC but even i feel like that's a lame excuse.
It's been 6 months. Please do SOME cooking and stop sitting on your laurels.
I liked the team because of how diligent they were with cooking new strats and innovating, and right now they are absolutely not doing that.
I come back after a week of not checking Valorant and
WHO'S WRITING THE SCRIPTS AND WHY ARE THEY ON SHROOMS?
Saadhak likely had to learn aspas’ playstyles and habits to build game plans around him. He probably knows how aspas plays better than aspas himself.
Fnatic has the highest ceiling out of all the teams last year imo. They just didn’t hit it in champs be it because of complacency or burnout or whatever.
However you cut it a team having like a 20-3 match record in a year is genuinely indicative that they’ve had a pretty dominant year.
They actually found the W key and aren't sitting in main for 40 seconds every round. Really good to watch.
Real question tho
France.
Is there a single good french player cos I cannot think of one for my life. Enzo maybe?
Most upvotes has to be that chronicle post calling out babysasuke right?
Don't better yourself for other people or so that girls would talk to you. You're the one who's gonna benefit from the improvements in mental and physical health from your hobbies and your boxing training. Keep doing what you enjoy and keep being passionate about it. If you're trying to put up a facade that you think girls would like, that shit is fake asf and I can tell you now people can tell right away and they won't like it. Be genuine and passionate about who you are and what you like doing, and you'll get there.
At 19 it's really easy to feel like you're behind when everyone around you is dating but you're not, but if we're honest most relationships at that point implode after a few years anyways because people rly aren't mature enough yet.
TLDR: Finding a girl is not be-all-end-all. Do stuff you like and keep up with your hobbies, and you'll slowly but surely meet more people. You're not doing anything wrong. To use a League analogy you're just farming and scaling rn.
Honestly if you can recognise what they're advocating is bullshit you're already halfway there.
While that's true I think their dominance on the map throughout the year has made them synonymous with it. Idk if they are STILL the best but this year I think they deserve the title.
Huh idk im reading this wrong but the EG team that won champs has a 29% win rate on Split?
They're good but neither of them are synonymous with the map. I'd say most of the good teams are pretty close on the map.
This is not based on stats but just from impression:
Ascent: Loud
Bind: Paper Rex
Haven: Loud probably but Fnatic looks really good sometimes as well.
Split: I have no clue ngl no team really stands out
Icebox: Fnatic
Lotus: Fnatic (I know Loud beat them at champs but that was off of antistrats, and aside from that they have been ridiculous dominant throughout the year. Chill with your recency bias.)
Pearl: Paper Rex
Fracture: EG
I don't think that means what you intended it to mean...
Honestly it was either removing Ascent or Haven for Icebox. If they actually removed Ascent Fnatic's map pool would be as solid as it can get, given that Sunset isn't another Pearl for them.
Masters Otara!
Sydney so I can watch the games at a normal time.
I don’t think you can just look at tournament placements in a vacuum. Mid year fnatic looked unbeatable in a way that reminded me of peak Optic, just in the way that they approached the game. I remember seeing an infographic before champs that predicted a 70% chance of fnatic winning and I think that’s a good visualisation of how dominant fnatic was before champs. Ffs they would lose a map and people would lose their minds. I
I reckon that fnatic is not a clear winner in this debate but I think the hype around EG is subject to some recency bias as well.
What would you say is the best team then? If you’re judging it based on one tournament instead of overall performance throughout the year then that’s also biased asf. Just seems to me that discrediting a year of dominant performance just because of a 4th place (which arguably isn’t even that bad) seems reductive imo.
So by your logic Loud is washed because they went from 1st to 3rd at champs.
American education goes hard.
Derke salary: Idk a lot
Tarik Salary rn: Gifted subs and donos
Just promise him 100 gifted for every match win and he'll drop 50s
News just in today: Good teams can't have off tournaments.
Babysasuke try not to cherry pick evidence challenge: Difficulty impossible

This definitely.

That anime hurt like a fucken fist to the nose but it's still one of my favourites. 10/10 honestly.
bro thinks JohnQT can fix all of SEN's problems
Fnatic wanted to keep him as HC but he said he's too burnt out from coaching and wants to spend more time outside the game. I would not be surprised if Fnatic was the one begging him to come back tbh.
Your first mistake was trying to apply facts and logic to an obvious bait post.

'Elmapuddy isn't yelling at them enough. These kids gonna get soft. Put me back CoJo.'
Coke in glass bottles taste better even when i know it's the same thing. It actually baffles me.
Only correct answer. Idk what they put in that but that thing hits like Fanta mixed with cocaine. I get it every time I go to an italian place no matter how fancy it is.
No wait I actually don't get your point.
So you're saying that because LOUD lost aspas they're more likely to fall off compared to fnatic?
Losing Aspas definitely makes loud weaker but Fnatic is a team whose success is literally built on their innovation. If they lose that I think they would become far weaker than what Loud would be without aspas. You can argue that fnatic can still get carried by the mechanical skill of Derke and Alfa but they would be nowhere near as dominant.

Aspas isn't entirely carrying the team though. Loud now is weaker definitely but they still have a strong core to build around.
Also nobody is saying there will be a fucken downfall. I just said that if FNC doesn't fix the issues we've seen then they'll continue to be how like they were in champs.
I think champs fnatic was the worst we've seen them all year. They were getting really easily read and that's to be expected when they are being studied by everyone.
Boaster did say that by champs they were really burnt out and couldn't really come up with anything new. I don't doubt that fnatic can cook up new strategies in the upcoming year and if they do then Loud vs FNC is undoubtedly going to be the biggest rivalry.
I didn't get a single upgradeable skin this NM AND the last NM.
Im a Fnatic supporter but based on what we've seen at Champions we're getting rinsed unless Boaster cooks up something new.
On paper though, with both teams playing at their best, this is the correct answer.
I mean it's still an awfully long time to stare into a screen.
