Its pretty simple, Gambit in their era were more dominant than Optic

Fluke win vs Patitek TH no thanks.

Gambit was much better in their peak, it's no coincidence that 2/5 of the best sentinel and flex itw currently is from that team

2/5 is nAts and Chronicle. That alone is better than washed up Optic roster.

1. Fnatic (2023) - 2 Trophies (Back to Back)
2. Loud (2022) - 1 Trophy (Champions)
3. EG (2023) - 1 Trophy (Champions)
4. Gambit (2021) - 1 Trophy
5. OpTic (2022) - 1 Trophy

Derke with Shao and Angel is a core I like

Leave that shitshow that is Vitality and join NAVI

Kaajak > t3xture, the eye test doesn't lie

PRX will be somewhat tired, T1 wants to start the season on a high and Dih debut

T1 2-0 bookmark it

Learn the agents, all that aim and you're a useless bot in VCT without Jett

Only the big one matters for us and that's Champs

Sorry your gimmick squad didn't fit. I tried to be as impartial as I can be.

• Duelist: Kaajak (Rookie of the Year)

• Flex: GOAT Chronicle

• IGL: Boaster (Different rosters, different years and still in the finals)

• Sentinel: Foxy9

• Initiator: Riens (Turkish Leo)

• Smokes: Karon

Last but most anticipated

• BEST PLAYER: ALFAJER

Kaajaks raw talent is better than Derke. I've never seen the aimbot kills Kaajak makes from Derke who sprays more and relies on positioning rather than raw peeks.

I am Destiny 2 enjoyer so I converted it to Valorant and just play the same to keep the same familiarity.

Lotus: 13-4 FNC
Sunset: 13-1 FNC
Icebox: 11-13 TH
Haven: 10-13 TH
Ascent: 10-13 TH

FNC Total Rounds: 57
Heretics Total Rounds: 44

Fnatic threw a lot of 1v2s and 1v3s in the last 3 maps that TH won, unfortunate they couldnt close it out by being disciplined and just played it loose and TH took away momentum.

More comebacks than throws, it is okay.

• Toronto Finals: X
• EWC Finals: X

Champions Paris is ours

FNC! FNC FNC!

I don't see him trust NRG after they scapegoated him

Crosshair merchants are NOT naturally gifted

He was a diamond thats why he was shining on that Apeks roster.

Because he has been playing ranked? Naturally gifted aimers can pick it up and he is the best among them

The Fnatic system is what enabled him to showcase his potential but he goes back to Americas if not for Fnatic as he finds Berlin boring.

He has been rooting the boys behind the scenes, he is not a bum lile y0y who forgets how to shoot. Cojo said he is taking his spot from crashies instantly as soon as he is available

Feed our families, my GOAT come back asap.

Keep coping Bronzil

In what world? Texture literally disappears in tough games and munchkin does the carrying. Big part of the choking is due to Texture.

Every team has thrown it at some point, it's hard to maintain a straight focus throughout the series, congrats to Heretics but Fnatic gifted it to them

Don't let the reverse sweep fool you.

1. Fnatic are still the best team in the world, let their foot off the gas pedal but stats and eye test is clear.

2. Kaajak is the best duelist in the world, the versatility and the aim, he is THE duelist.

3. G2 is a mess without leaf, shhack played well and they still couldnt perform with the other 4.

4. GenG has a problem with throwing leads, strong team but can't seem to hold it together to close it out

5. PRX are nothing less than Top 2 itw abd are the biggest rival to Fnatic at Champs

6. China is struggling a lot this season despite miracle runs from Wolves with EDG lacking that spark that won Champs.

True but it still dampens the mindset you want to have going into Champs

Winning EWC might have added the complacency factor into their minds but what the series told us is that Fnatic when they are focused can destroy teams and thats the hunger they need to win Champions after losing two back to back finals.

Take nothing away from Team Heretics, they deserved a trophy after so many heartbreaks so happy for them.

TLDR: Fuel for the ultimate goal of Valorant, Champions Trophy

Whaaat

Baited crashies and ruined the NRG team and now look at crashies. They came for him and he is flourishing.

I own you

We won't be crying, our sons deserve a trophy after 6 grand finals so if they win its bittersweet but happy for EMEA overall.

Same way CS tournaments are usually off circuit but they still count

Beat Loud against all odds in their home arena of Sao Paulo down 11-4. Nothing could ever top it.

DFM domination could bore fans

Best team currently: Fnatic

Best team in Toronto: PRX

Best team all year: We found out in Champs

Chsmps didn't matter I guess, gave EG a free trophy.

Would be luck if Fnatic did it once but they do it all the time so its just pure strat.

We are the better team past or present. You guys win once and cant control yourselves that's how lucky you feel.

Lock in and Tokyo back to back is evident. No team has ever done it to this day.

Americas is mad becauae their teams have to rely on Aspas and Verno to save their tinpot region with no talent.

APAC is mad because their fluke PRX and choker Gen G cannot replicate success.

China is just happy to be there.

If you can't replicate it, you don't deserve it.

Good teams make back to back finals and fot Fnatic thats two different rosters, can't say the same for others.

I used to like this team but they win so many rounds just on pure luck and gimmick plays. Having no proper discipline is why they are falling off a cliff. The veto advantage in Toronto saved them but won't always be the case - Shownu

All of them are buns, Less and Saadhak saw the region crumbling and went to EMEA
